The low‐pressure recombination rate constants of the reactions I + NO + M → INO + M (with 14 different M) and I + NO 2 + M → INO 2 + M (with 26 different M) have been measured at 330°K by laser flash photolysis. The collision efficiencies β c are analyzed and compared with other thermal activation systems. Whereas β c increases in one reaction with an increasing number of atoms in M, practically no such effect is found when, for the same M, different reactions with varying complexities of the reacting molecules are considered.
