“…The kinetics of the CN radical are of interest due to the role of this molecule in combustion chemistry, especially in relation to formation and removal of NO x . CN reactions with a variety of molecules have been previously studied, including both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], O 2 [1,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], NO [15,17], and NO 2 [16,17]. Past work in our laboratory has included study of CN reactions with O 2 [18,19], NO 2 [20], OCS [21], CS 2 [22], SO 2 [22], and HCNO [23,24].…”
