Pulsed photolysis of gaseous O/sub 3//HNCO mixtures at 249 nm produces emission from the NH A/sup 3/II ..-->.. X/sup 3/..sigma../sup -/ transition near 336 nm. The data suggest that the excited NH is produced by the reaction O(/sup 1/D) + HNCO ..-->.. NH + CO/sub 2/. The branching fraction to the alternate products OH + NCO is less than 0.1. This mechanism is quite different from that of the analogous O(/sup 1/D) + HN/sub 3/, NH(/sup 1/..delta..) + HN/sub 3/, and NH(/sup 1/..delta..) + HNCO reactions. From the time profile of the NH emission, the rate constant for O(/sup 1/D) + HNCO is determined to be (4.6 /plus minus/ 0.4) /times/ 10/sup /minus/11/ cm/sup 3/s/sup /minus/1/.
