The gas-phase quenching rate constants for NF(a{sup 1}{Delta}) have been measured at 300 K for 60 reagent molecules. The experiments were done in a Pyrex glass flow reactor coated with halocarbon wax using the 2F + HN{sub 3} reaction as a source of NF(a{sup 1}{Delta}). The rate constants span a wide range of values; the rate constants for most diatomic molecules are less than 1 {times} 10{sup {minus}14} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}, but more reactive molecules, such as C{sub 2}H{sub 4}, or P(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}, have rate constants near 10{sup {minus}11} cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}.
