Low-pressure flowing afterglow experiments with Ne carrier gas have been performed to obtam the initial Nz(B) vibrational distributions and the Nz@) formation rate constants for Xe(3P2) and Kr(3P,) excitation-transfer reactions to Nz. The N\*(C) formation rate constant for Ar(3Pz) + N2 also was meas

โฆ Synopsis
The reactions of the lowest metast&bIe states of Ar, Rr and Xe with XeF2 were studied in a Bowing after$ow appamtus; XeF emission (from D *111,2 and B 'C* states) was observed in all cases. me toti rate constants (cm3 molecde-r S-I) for XeF* formation were determined as 75 X l@' -Xe(3P2); 64 X lo-" -KI(~P~) and 20 X IOWLL -Ar(3Po of_ The reactions of A@Pe,$ and Krt3P2) with XeF2 also gave ArF * and KrF*, respectively_ Anafysis of these emission; indicates that at least two different mechanisms are operative: reactive quenching by the ionic-covalent curve-crossiu~ mechatdsm and excitation transfer. The AI(~P~;~) + XeF2 reaction is a sufficiently strong source of XeF(D-X) emission that ffie main features of the XeF(D *l~,,~ -X 2 2?) system couId be photographed and tentative assignments of these vibrational bands are given. The XeF(D + B) emission could not be observed and the ratio of the D-X versus the D-B transition probability must be > 1000 : 1.
