✦ Synopsis

Rates of cydobutene i~merisation induced by excilation or the 6-O =C-H strelching overtone al 16603 cm-' have been measured as a funcrion of the pressure of lhe bath gases He. Ar. CO,, CH,, SF6 and cyclobutene These data have been used LO compare energy transfer paramelers obtained from au approximate treatment of the efkzls ol weak collisions w~lh values Irom numend soldions of the collisional master equation. Comparisons with data from previous photoaclivalion studies are also made. IL is found that the combination of RRKM lhwry and an adequate treatment or inefficient interrnolecrular energy uarder can satisfaclordy account [or he observed red&
