N2 - Molecular N2 emission, observed from an Ar(3Po, 2) and Xe(3P2) + N2 flowing afterglow apparatus, indicates that the energy pooling reaction by 2N2(A 3Σ+u) generates the emission from the Herman infrared system, which is an unassigned nitrogen band system. A lower limit to the formation rate constant for the upper state of the Herman infrared system was found to be 2.5 × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The information presented here may help in the identification of the upper and lower states of the emission system. The 2N2(A) energy pooling reaction also forms N2(B3 Πg, v≥ 8) but a rate constant cannot be assigned from the present data.
