Empirical Correlation and Comparison of V-V Transfers Involving the Hydrogen Halides.

Abstract

The author presents an empirical correlation of room temperature data for V-V energy exchanges between the hydrogen halides and several groups of molecules. The probabilities for exothermic energy exchange between two hydrogen halide molecules are correlated along a single line when they are normalized by the squares of the permanent dipole moments and plotted versus the fraction of initial vibrational energy converted to rotational or translational energy in the exchange. The normalized probabilities for hydrogen halide V-V exchanges with CO and CO2 fall along similar but separate lines. The data for V-V exchanges between hydrogen halides and homonuclear molecules are correlated by plotting the exchange probabilities versus the energy fraction converted in the exchange. The correlation of such data makes it possible to estimate other unmeasured exchange probabilities and the contributions of double-quantum transitions.
