In low temperature ash photolysis of NH 3 /O 2 /N 2 mixtures, the NH 2 consumption rate and the product distribution is controlled by the reactions NH 2 + HO 2 → products (R1), NH 2 + H (+M) → NH 3 (+M) (R2), and NH 2 + NH 2 (+M) → N 2 H 4 (+M) (R3). In the present work, published ash photolysis experiments by, among others, Cheskis and coworkers, are re-interpreted, using recent direct measurements of NH 2 + H (+N 2 ) and NH 2 + NH 2 (+N 2 ) from Altinay and Macdonald. To facilitate analysis of the FP data, relative third body collision eciencies compared to N 2 for R2 and R3 were calculated for O 2 and NH 3 , as well as for other selected molecules. Results were in good agreement with the limited experimental data. Based on reported NH 2 decay rates in ash photolysis of NH 3 /O 2 /N 2 , a rate constant for NH 2 + HO 2 → NH 3 + O 2 (R1a) of k 1a = 1.5(±0.5)•10 14 cm 3 mol −1 s −1 at 295 K was derived. This value is higher than earlier determinations based on the FP results, but in good agreement with recent theoretical work. Kinetic modeling of reported 1 N 2 O yields indicates that NH 2 + HO 2 → H 2 NO + O (R1c) is competing with R1a, but perturbation experiments with addition of CH 4 indicate that it is not a dominating channel.Measured HNO proles indicate that this component is formed directly by NH 2 + HO 2 → HNO + H 2 O (R1b), but theoretical work indicates that R1b is only a minor channel. Based on this analysis, we estimate k 1c = 2.5•10 13 cm 3 mol −1 s −1 and k 1b = 2.5•10 12 cm 3 mol −1 s −1 at 295 K, with signicant uncertainty margins.
