The Deactivation of Vibrationally Excited Carbon Dioxide (001) by Collisions with Carbon Monoxide

Abstract

The rate constants associated with the deactivation of vibrationally excited CO2* (001) by collisions with CO have been experimentally determined from 300 to 900K by a laser fluorescence method. The probability per collision of vibrational energy transfer from CO2* (001) to CO (v = 0) was computed by a theory involving long range forces. The calculated probabilities are in good agreement with the probabilities deduced from measurement of R1, the transfer rate constant in the exothermic direction.
