GUNNING Dept. of Chemistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Received 13th September, 1963 The reaction of hydrogen atoms with NO at room temperature was studied in a static system under a variety of conditions by (i) the in-sifu mercury-sensitization of H2 in the presence of NO, and (ii) the photolysis of CH20, admixed with NO. NZ and N20 are the primary products of the reaction, and the ratio [N2]/m20] increases with increasing PNO and decreasing la. The observed product distribution, quantum yield data and kinetic behaviour of the system are consistent with a mechanism based on the initial formation of nitroxyl and its subsequent competing reactions : 2HNO + M +N20+ H20 + M (4 HNOf2NO -+N2+HNO3 (b) by analogy with the corresponding reactions of nitrosoalkanes, with the principal difference here being that step (b) is not a chain process. The quantum yield data for the sensitized reaction show that the primary reaction between H2 and Hg 6(3P1) atoms proceeds with nearly perfect efficiency. Harteckl showed that H-atoms combine with NO to form an unstable com- pound of empirical formula, NHO. Taylor and Tanford 2 mercury-photosensitized H2 in the presence of
