Two types of pyrolysis nozzles have been constructed and coupled to a new Stark modulated microwave spectrometer. The nozzles were tested on their ability to generate rotationally cooled transient species through a supersonic expansion. The transients species vinylamine, thioketene and ketene were generated and detected using nozzle temperatures ranging from 400-800°C. Pyrolysis temperatures were generally lower than those used in normal flow pyrolysis experiments and rotational temperatures of ca. 10 K were achieved. A preliminary investigation of the jet nozzle pyrolysis of 3-methyl-4-hydroxy-iminoisoxaline-5-one was carried out and showed a different distribution of CHNO pyrolysis products to that observed in previous low pressure studies.
