Vibrational energy transfer from OH to other gaseous hydrides
Abstract
Vibrational energy transfer from OH (v=1, 2) to a number of simple hydrides (CH4, NH3, H2O, HCl, H2, D2) has been investigated using a discharge flow apparatus attached to a sensitive EPR spectrometer. Strong similarities between the rate of vibrational energy transfer from OH and the rate of V-V transfer from HCl have been observed. These similarities have been discussed in terms of the mechanism of the energy transfer process.
