The formation of nitrogen oxides (NO x) during combustion is a topic of substantial fundamental and practical interest, given the complex nature of its formation kinetics and the fact that, as a highly regulated pollutant emission, it is a major constraint in engineering design. To date, there are four known mechanisms by which the strong N–N bond can be broken to facilitate NO x formation from N 2 present in air. Here we posit and explore the possibility of a new NO x formation route mediated by an HNNO intermediate whose reactions with common combustion species break the N–N bond. Altogether, we present results from master equation (ME) calculations for HNNO formation from H+ N 2 O (+ M), ab initio electronic structure and RRKM/ME calculations for HNNO+ O 2, and simulations of NO profiles in freely propagating flames using a newly constructed HNNO kinetic sub-model. Our ME results for the H+ N 2 O reaction indicate that HNNO is the favored product channel at lower temperatures and higher pressures–eg favored over all other products up to∼ 1100 K and over NH+ NO up to∼ 1500 K above 10 atm. Our ab initio electronic structure calculations for trans-HNNO+ O 2 show a barrier for abstraction to HO 2+ N 2 O of 18.2 kcal/mol and a barrier for addition of 27.0 kcal/mol to form an HN (OO) NO which can decompose to NO+ HNO 2 over a barrier of 32.3 kcal/mol (cis-HNNO+ O 2 shows similar reactivity). Altogether, our rate constant calculations and kinetic modeling, which also includes estimated rate constants for HNNO+ radical reactions, suggest that HNNO+ O 2 mainly recycles HNNO back to N 2 O but is sufficiently slow that the primary fate of HNNO in many combustion situations likely involves reactions with radical species, which appear likely to occur quickly and with high NO x yields.
