Abstract
Studies of the kinotics of hydrogen atom reactions with $NCl_{3}$ and with $NFCl_{2}$ performed in our laboratory demonstrated the production of excited state nitrenes in these $systems.^{*}$ The time profiles of the NX emissions are consistent with a two step mechanism involving the formation of $NX_{2}$ and NXY intermediates (X, Y = halogens), a class of radicals for which there is almost no spectroscopic information available in the literature. Investigations of the spectroscopy of low temperature matrix isolated $NX_{2}$ and NXY radicals, prepared by reacting fluorine atoms with the corresponding $NX_{3}$ (or $NX_{2}Y$) before deposition, are reported.
