We have studied the fate of selectively excited vibrational and rotati
onal NH/ND(c(1) Pi,nu,J) states in inelastic collisions with O-2, The
excited states were produced in a two-step procedure by first photolyz
ing hydrazoic acid to yield NH/ND(a), which then was excited to the c
state. This work presents rate data for rotational relaxation in the c
,nu=0 states, overall quenching of rotational states, intersystem cros
sing to the A(3) Pi state, vibrational relaxation of the ND(c,nu=1) st
ate, and quenching of the vibrational ND(A,nu=0-3) states. Additionall
y the vibrational distributions of the A state products were determine
d as a function of rotation of the c states.
