Discharge flow/mass spectrometry has been used to measure the rate coefficient for the disproportionation reaction of BrO radicals, BrO + BrO {yields} products, at 2-Torr total pressure and over the temperature range 253-400 K. This is the first direct study of the temperature dependence of the BrO/BrO system that does not rely on the measurement of the absorption cross section of BrO and is in good agreement with previous studies using flash photolysis.
