Infrared Fluorescence Studies of Electronic-to-Vibrational Energy Transfer in a Br2:NO System
Abstract
Steady-state photolysis techniques were used to study electronic-to- vibrational energy transfer mechanisms from atomic bromine to nitric oxide. Molecular bromine was photodissociated by 488nm radiation to produce equal parts Br(2pp sub 1/2) and Br(2p sub 3/2). Side fluorescence intensity from Br(2p sub 1 /2) at 2.7 microns and from No (v =1 and 2 around 5.3 microns measured as a function of bromine pressure and nitric oxide pressure. The branching ratio collisional transfer into the first and second states of NO was determined, and previously reported rates for quenching of NO by molecular bromine were verified.
