Reaction of the cyano radical (CN) with ethane (C{sub 2}H{sub 6}) was studied using time resolved infrared absorption to monitor the product hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in individual to-vibrational states. Pulse laser photolysis was used to provide an initial excess of the CN radical and the time dependence of individual ro-vibrational states of the high frequency anti-symmetric stretching mode of HCN (0,0,v{sub 3}) was followed. These experiments reveal that the initial product state distribution of HCN is not highly excited in the HCN(0,0,{sub 3}) vibrational manifold.
