Thermochemistry and Kinetics of the Cl+O2 Association ReactionLaser flash photolysis of Cl2/O2 mixtures has been employed in conjunction with Cl((sup 2)P(sub 3/2)) detection by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate equilibration kinetics for the reactions Cl + O2 + O is in equilibrium with ClOO + O2 at temperatures of 181-200 K and O2 pressures of 15-40 Torr. The third-order rate coefficient for the association reaction at 186.5 +/- 5.5 K is (8.9 +/- 2.9) x 10(exp -33) cm(exp 6) molecule(exp -2) s(exp -1) and the equilibrium constant (K(p)) at 185.4 K is 18.9 atm(exp -1) (factor of 1.7 uncertainty). A third law analysis of our data leads to a value for the Cl-OO bond dissociation energy of 4.76 +/- 0.49 kcal mol(exp -1).
