摘要
Carr et al. failed to detect hydroxyl radical formation from the reaction of excited state nitrogen dioxide with water, contrary to our findings. We present several reasons, based on energetic and spectroscopic considerations, why the OH radicals we observed from this reaction are not likely to be due to multiphoton excitation as they suggest.
