Electronic-to-Vibrational Energy Transfer Studies of Singlet Molecular Oxygen and Hydrogen Halides.
Abstract
The first two excited states of molecular oxygen are interesting candidates for electronic-to-vibrational (E-V) energy studies because high concentrations can be conveniently generated by chemical means. The iodine-oxygen chemical laser is evidence for the possible utility of singlet oxygen, if a good E-V transfer system could be discovered. Interest in reactions of singlet 02 was initially aroused in this laboratory by the accidental observation of infrared emission from HF, HCl and HBr during a study of the reaction of 0 atoms with HI. This report presents the study of E-V energy transfer from 02 to hydrogen halides and HCN at the state-to-state level.
