This paper reports the preliminary results of studies of the kinetics of the reactions of T₂ with H₂, D₂, and CH₄. The gas phase reactions were studied using laser Raman spectroscopy for the real-time analysis of species concentration. A novel flow cell which has low volume (ca. 4 cm³) and minimizes dead volumes is described. First order rate constants are in the range 1.4 – 2.7 days for reaction with H₂ and D₂ , and 5 days for the reaction with CH₄.
