Abstract.

The paper describes experimental investigations in a shock tube concerning the formation of new molecules using He as a driver gas and a mixture of Kr, CH\(_4\) and NH\(_3\) as driven gas, where Kr serves as diluant. By microwave absorption technique it was possible to detect HCN, CH\(_2\)O and CH\(_3\)NH\(_2\) as reaction products. Obviously, these molecules were formed in the plasma behind the shock wave. In addition, the “swan bands” of C\(_2\) have been observed with optical methods.
