The reaction between N(D-2) and O2, proposed by Rusch et al. (1978) as a possible source of O(D-1) in aurorae, is reexamined in the light of recent measurements of reaction rate coefficients. The newly measured reaction rate coefficients indicate that the reaction considered by Rusch et al. would produce very few O(D-1) atoms and therefore cannot be a major source of these atoms in aurorae. Some other sources of O(D-1) have to be investigated to account for the measured 6300-A volume emission rate profile in aurorae.
