The recombination of oxygen atoms has been studied in a discharge flow system at room temperature. The yield of O2(a1Δg) in the recombination on Pyrex has been found to be 0.08 (±0.02). In the gas phase, O2(a) was found to be formed in a process that is second order in [O] and first order in [N2]. The rate constant for this third-order reaction was found to be 3.4 (±0.4) × 10−34 cm6∙molecule−2∙s−1, representing a yield of 0.07 (±0.02). In the presence of molecular oxygen, the rate of production of O2(a) was found to increase. A kinetic study of this effect led to the conclusion that collisions of molecular oxygen with an unidentified precursor can produce O2(a) with high efficiency.

Acetylene catalyzes the gas phase recombination of hydrogen atoms, and frequently the reaction is accompanied by a bright flame. It is shown that the light emission is not the result of the catalytic recombination, but is caused by traces of water in the hydrogen. The possible reactive intermediates, OH, HO 2 and atomic oxygen, have been individually generated and added to the mixture of hydrogen atoms and acetylene. Only oxygen atoms are effective in causing luminescence. Hydrogen atoms are not necessary for light emission, but they do alter the spectrum somewhat. Two different mechanisms for the formation of electronically excited C 2 are required. The mechanism for the reaction of atomic oxygen with acetylene is discussed.
