The vibrational tnergy dependence of the rate of the gas phase reaction of Na with SF6 has been determined in a diffusion cIoud experiment using CO= laser excitation. The "conversion efficiency" of ca. 40% for vibrational energy suggests a preference for vtbrational over translational energy when co

## It is shown that a high power infrared iaser can enhance a chemical reaction (by lowering the activation energy) even if the reactants are infrared izctive.
This Letter reports a study on the effect of the Stark shift for exchange reactions in intense infrared laser fields. It is shown for the H + H2 exchange reaction that such fields reduce the potential barrier, thus enhancing the reaction rate at low temperatures. Another interesting effect, caused b
Reactions of CH2F2 excited in its C-F stretching mode by a TEA CO 2 laser have been investigated. Chemical reactions of the excited species in the neat show evidence of the difluorocarbene radical involvement. Reactions with molecular chlorine display at least two distinct mechanisms at different pr
