The overall rate coefficient k of the self recombination of BrO radicals has been measured at 298 K with use of the discharge flow/mass spectrometry technique. The rate coefficient k 2 for the reaction channel forming Br 2 has been also determined. The results are: k = (3.2 ± 0.5) × 10 −12 and k 2 = (4.7 ± 1.5) × 10 −13 (in cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 ). These results are discussed with respect to previous literature data.
