Abstract: CH(B2Σ-)radical was produced by quadrupuled YAGlaser(266 nm)photolysis of CHBr3 molecules.The quenching rate constants by halomethane(CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl4 and CHBr3), CS2, O2, and Ar were determined at room temperature by monitoring the time-resolved emission CH(B→X)signals.The measured results(in10-10cm3·molec-1·s-1)are 4.4±0.7(CH2Cl2), 5.2±0.4(CHCl3), 5.0±0.7(CCl4), 8.2±0.3(CHBr3), 7. 9±0.7(CS2), 0.19±0.02(O2), and(1.1±0.1)×10-2(Ar), respectively。It is shown that the quenching rate constant of CH(B)is faster than that of CH(A)except for O2 molecule.The quenching rate constant of CH(B)increases with increasing the number of chlorine atoms contained in chloromethane molecules and an interpretation of this result based on complex model is presented.
