โฆ Synopsis
Direct measurements of statespecific vibrational self-relaxation rates for highly excited HCN are reported at energy contents which range between 6500-10000 cm-'. By combining single photon overtone vibration excitation with a laser-induced fluorescence probe of the vibrationally energized species the following rate constants were obtained (k/cm3 molecule-' s-i): k~,,2,,~=(69f16)~10-'2; k~3,0,,,=(35f4)~10-'2; k (0,0,3j = ( 14 + 4) x 1 O-i2. The role of intermolecular V-V transfer is dip cussed and the possibility of deactivation by complex formation is examined.
