Le Picard, S.D. and Canosa, A. (1998). Measurement of the rate constant for the association reaction CH + N₂ at 53 K and its relevance to Triton's atmosphere. Geophysical Research Letters 25: doi: 10.1029/98GL50118. issn: 0094-8276.

The pulsed laser photolysis (PLP), time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique has been used to study the association reaction CH+N2 in a CRESU (Cin¿tique de R¿action en Ecoulement Supersonique Uniforme) apparatus at 53 K and in the pressure range 0.4--6 mbar. The third order rate constant was found to be k0=(5.7¿0.30)¿10-30 cm6 s-1. Consequences for the production of HCN in the atmosphere of Triton are discussed in light of this result. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
