Notes:
Diode laser spectroscopy has been employed to monitor the formation of chlorine nitrate (ClONO2) in the association reaction of ClO with NO2. Chlorine nitrate is the only stable end-product of this reaction at room temperature. Time-resolved measurements of ClONO2 formation using molecular modulation showed no evidence for any involvement of unstable isomers of ClNO3 in the reaction. These measurements gave a value of k1 = (1.8 ± 0.4) × 10-31 cm6/molecule2 · s for the reaction \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm ClO}\,\, + \,\,{\rm NO}_{\rm 2} \,\, + \,\,{\rm M}\mathop {\longrightarrow} \limits^{k_1 } {\rm ClONO}_{\rm 2} \,\, + \,\,{\rm M} $$\end{document} at 295 K and an upper limit of 5 ms for the lifetime of any isomeric products at this temperature.
