Vibrational relaxation of highly excited diatomics. I. Method, analysis, and application to HCl(v</=7)+CO2 and N2O

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.443391

The infrared chemiluminescence method of Smith and co-workers is adapted to fast flow reactor conditions where a sensitive infrared detector views the vibrationally excited products of various generating reactions through a circularly variable filter in the absence or presence of added quencher molecules.The initial υ-distributions are found to be totally unrelaxed vibrationally but thermalized rotationally.This allows the experimental measurement of vibrational relaxation rates of high υ levels hitherto inaccessible.The modified Stern-Volmer method of analysis is described in detail.Its reference process is the rapid pumping rate constant <5*10³ s^-1 out of the field of view.HCl is generated by any one of four H atom reactions (with Cl2, ICl, ClNO, or SOCl2) or two Cl atom reactions (with HI or HBr), and its quenching rates by CO2 or N2O are m,easured.Quenching probabilities from about 5*10^-3 to 0.5 per gas-kinetic collisions for υ=1 to 7 are found for both gases.The results are compared with the limited published data.Detailed discussion is deferred until the following paper which presents data for 18 additional quenchers.
