Temperature and pressure dependence of the rate constants of the reaction of N[O.sub.3] radical with C[H.sub.3]SC[H.sub.3]

A study of the reaction of nitrate radical with dimethyl sulfide using cavity ring-down spectroscopy in 20-200 Torr of [N.sub.2] diluent in the temperature range of 283-318 K is presented. The rate constant for the reaction was found to be temperature dependent and pressure independent.
