✦ Synopsis
The rotational distribution of CN( B "C, v=O) dissociated from ICN at I93 nm is well represented by a thermal rotational distribution for T= 250 K, giving an average energy of I75 cm-'. The energy of the highest rotational state detected (N= 28) suggests that some or all of the molecules dissociated have appreciable internal energy. We discuss recent values of the available energy. Polarization of the R( 8) line of the CN(B) fluorescence agrees with other experiments in this absorption feature, and gives the same upper-state symmetry observed at shorter wavelengths. CN( A ZII ) was also detected promptly after the fragmentation.

Electronic relaxation rate constants for specific rotational levels of CH (A 'A and B \*Z-) have been measured. In contrast to similar measurements made earlier for other hydrides, the results obtained in the present work show an increase in the quenching efficiency upon rotational excitation. The e
