Three-body association reactions of Na+ with a variety of neutral gases in the presence of He as third body have been studied in a Selected Ion Flow Tube at 80K. The measured rate coefficients have been utilized to estimate radiative association rate coefficients at 20K. It is shown that Na+-neutral radiative association reactions play a role in the depletion of Na+ in dense interstellar clouds and can produce a sufficient amount of NaOH to explain its observed tentative abundance in Sgr B2.
