The principal route for decay of Hg 6s6~(~P,) in xenon is shown to be bimolecular deactivation to the mercury ground state, with rate coefficient 9.1 x lo-l3 cm3 molecule-' s-l. , relaxation to the 3Po state plays a negligible role. The equilibrium constant of the reaction Hg(3P,) + Xe # HgXe(A 30')
The rate coefficient of the process Hg 6s6p( 'P 0-+3P, ) induced by nitrogen collisions has been measured over the range 285 to 340 K. The temperature variation closely matches that of the concentration of Nz( u= 1). The results support the electronic to vibrational energy-transfer mechanism for the
