Abstract
The electronic structure of the NaN2 and NaC2H2 collision pairs is probed b
y optical excitation. Based on polarization experiments, we measure the ali
gnment tensor of the electronic transition dipole moments. We compare the e
xperimental data with the results of a quantum chemical calculation. The di
fferent geometric properties of the electronic wave functions of the two co
llision pairs are directly visible in the experimental data. (C) 2001 Ameri
