Oxygen atom exchange between {sup 18}OH and several oxygen-containing molecules was studied in a flow tube by using laser magnetic resonance detection of the reagent {sup 18}OH and product {sup 16}OH. No significant exchange was observed for O{sub 2}, H{sub 2}O, CO, CO{sub 2}, N{sub 2}O, OCS, and SO{sub 2} at 298 and 400 K, and upper limits to the exchange rate coefficients are reported. The rate coefficients for the reactions of {sup 18}OH and {sup 16}OH with CO were found to be (1.49 {plus minus} 0.15) {times} 10{sup {minus}13} and (1.44 {plus minus} 0.15) {times} 10{sup {minus}13} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}, respectively, at 298 K. NO and NO{sub 2} were found to exchange rapidly with k{sub ex} = (1.8 {plus minus} 0.6) {times} 10{sup {minus}11} and (1.0 {plus minus} 0.4) {times} 10{sup {minus}11} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}, respectively, at 298 K. On the basis of a simple model of adduct formation k{sub {infinity}} values for the OH + NO and NO{sub 2} association reactions were estimated to be {ge} (3.6 {plus minus} 1.2) {times} 10{sup {minus}11} and {ge} (1.5 {plus minus} 0.6) {times} 10{sup {minus}11} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}, respectively. Error limits are 95% confidence limits.
