The reaction of CF{sub 3} radicals with NO{sub 2} has been studied over the pressure range 4-20 Torr at 300 K. CF{sub 3} radicals we produced by infrared multiphoton dissociation of CF{sub 3}I. The subsequent decay of the radicals was monitored by using time-resolved diode laser spectroscopy. Analysis of the decay rates gave an absolute rate constant of (2.5 {plus minus} 0.3) {times} 10{sup {minus}11} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1}s{sup {minus}1} (3{sigma}). Further, formation of FNO and CF{sub 2}O was observed concomitant with the decay of CF{sub 3}, indicating that the reaction of CF{sub 3} with NO{sub 2} produces FNO and CF{sub 2}O.
