Ap. Milce et al., COLLISION-INDUCED STATE-TO-STATE ENERGY-TRANSFER IN THE NU(2)-NU(3) ROVIBRATIONAL MANIFOLD OF GAS-PHASE ACETYLENE(3), The Journal of chemical physics, 100(3), 1994, pp. 2398-2401
Time-resolved infrared-ultraviolet double resonance spectroscopy is us
ed to measure collision-induced rovibrational energy transfer in the v
(2)+3v(3) region (similar to 11 600 cm(-1)) of gas-phase acetylene. Of
particular interest is rotationally resolved V-V transfer between the
Fermi-coupled 2(1)3(3) and 1(1)2(3)4(3)5(1) levels, for which the rat
e is relatively high (approximately 13% of the Lennard-Jones collision
rate) and the relevant rovibrational states markedly perturbed.
