Temperature Dependence of Collisional Deactivation of Highly Vibrationally Excited Biphenylene
نویسنده
چکیده
Collisional energy transfer between highly vibrationally excited biphenylene and a variety of monoand polyatomic bath gases has been measured at temperatures between 333 and 523 K. Biphenylene molecules were initially prepared with an additional vibrational energy of 28 490 cm by electronic absorption at 351 nm followed by fast internal conversion. The collisional deactivation was observed by detection of the energy dependent UV absorption at the red edge of the strong band at 255 nm. A carefully tested empirical energy calibration, based on high temperature shock tube data was used. A negative temperature dependence of k∆El, referred to Lennard-Jones collision numbers ZLJ, was found for the vibrational energies between 10 000 and 30 000 cm in all rare gases, N2, CO2, SF6, ethane, butane and heptane as colliders. This temperature dependence is only very weak in light rare gases and increases systematically with the efficiency of the collider. The absolute values of k∆El are analyzed in comparison with recent data sets on related larger polyatomic molecules and with results of trajectory calculations. In the discussion of the measured temperature dependence the problems with a proper distinction between the T-dependence of k∆El and of the collision number are also addressed.

Energy-dependent collisional deactivation of vibrationally excited azulene
Collisional energy transfer parameters for highly vibrationally excited azulene have been deduced from new infrared fluorescence (lRF) emission lifetime data with an improved calibration relating IRF intensity to vibrational energy [J.

The temperature dependence of the gas-phase collisional relaxation of highly vibrationally excited aromatic molecules has been studied using large scale classical trajectory calculations. The investigations have focused on azulene collisions with different colliders (He, Ar and N2) as well as pyrazine self-collisions providing the moments of energy transfer k∆El and k∆E l in the temperature ran...

متن کاملMultiplex detection of collisional energy transfer using KCSFI.
A new detection method for obtaining collisional transition probabilities P(E',E) of highly vibrationally excited molecules in the gas phase is presented. The technique employs energy-selective probing of the time-dependent vibrational population distribution by "kinetically controlled selective fluorescence (KCSF)". We present experimental results for a test system, the collisional deactivatio...
