Vibrational Relaxation of HF(v = 1 and 3) in H2, N2, and D2 at 200 and 295 K

Abstract

The vibrational relaxation rates of HF(V = 1) and HF(v = 3) have been measured in H2, N2, and D2 at 200 and 295 K. The v dependence of the relaxation rates is essentially the same for N2, D2, and several other diatomic molecules that deactivate HF by exothermic processes. The rates for HF(v = 3) deactivation are larger than those for HF(v = 1) by a factor of about 18 at both 200 and 295 K.
