Abstract
Rate constants for vibrational energy exchange in CO collisions have been c alculated for normal CO and two isomers. The calculations have been carried out using a semiclassical collision model in which translational and rotat ional motions are treated classically. The vibrational degrees of freedom a re quantized. The theoretical predicted rates agree well with recent experi mental data. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)00821-1 ].
