The reaction of CD radicals with NO was studied by time-resolved diode laser absorption spectroscopy. CD radicals were generated by the 266-nm photolysis of CDBr[sub 3]. Xenon buffer gas was used to relax excited CD(a[sup 4][sigma]) radicals. Detected products include DCN, CO, and CO[sub 2] and N[sub 2]O products of secondary reactions. An upper limit was placed on the formation of CN products. After consideration of important secondary reactions, the following branching ratios were obtained: 47.5 [+-] 12.2% for DCN + O, 18.8 [+-] 5.5% for NCO + D, an upper limit of <7.5% for CN + OD, and 33.7 [+-] 13.8% for the sum of the CO + DN and DCO + N channels (error bars represent one standard deviation). 54 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
