aIn m3 s–1 and m6 s–1 for two- and three-body collisions, respectively.

bValue in an upper limit in reference.

cEstimated value in reference.

dEstimated branching ratio.

eBranching ratios taken from Sanders.168

fThird body is Ar instead of He in reference. The gas efficiency factor is assumed to be 1.

gThird body is Ar instead of He in reference. The gas efficiency factor is assumed to be 0.65. This factor is calculated by dividing reaction rate coefficients for He and Ar as background gases for the same reaction measured by Zellner et al.169

hEffective rate coefficients calculated from pressure dependent rates for 1 atm and fitted by an Arrhenius expression in the temperature range 280–350 K.

iThird body is N2 instead of He in reference. The gas efficiency factor is assumed to be 0.43. This factor is calculated by dividing reaction rate coefficients for He and N2 as background gases for the same reaction measured by Hsu et al.170

jRecommended rate coefficient in reference is for N2 background gas instead of He. We apply a gas efficiency factor of 0.41 to the low-pressure limit reaction rate coefficient to account for this. This factor is calculated by dividing the room temperature rate coefficient from the given reference for He background gas (measured by Forster et al.171) by the recommended value (measured by Fulle et al.172).

kThird body is Ar instead of He in reference. The gas efficiency factor is assumed to be 0.77. This factor is calculated by dividing reaction rate coefficients for He and Ar as background gases for the same reaction measured by Campbell and Thrush.169

lThird body is N2 instead of He in reference. The gas efficiency factor is assumed to be 0.61. This factor is calculated by dividing reaction rate coefficients for He and N2 as background gases for the same reaction measured by Lin and Leu.173
