Vibrational Energy Transfer within the B 3Pi (0(+) sub u) State of 79BR2 Upon Collision with N2, O2, NO, and SF6

Abstract

Vibrational transfer and electronic quenching in the lower vibrational levels of the 79Br2(B; v'less than or equal 3) were investigated using spectrally resolved, temporally resolved pulsed laser induced fluorescence techniques. Spectrally resolved emissions from collisionally populated BR2(B) vibrational levels were observed for N2, O2, NO, and SF6 collision partners. The vibrational transfer was efficient in the nonpredissociative vibrational levels and is adequately described by the Montroll-Shuler model.
