Rate constants for the reactions of B + O/sub 2/ and BO + O/sub 2/ have been measured over the temperature range 298 to 1180 K using the laser photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence technique. The rate of the B + O/sub 2/ reaction increases slightly with increasing temperature. In contrast, the BO + O/sub 2/ reaction has a negative temperature dependence and is believed to proceed via a stable intermediate complex.
