✦ Synopsis

Recently, Gilbert and Zare proposed that dynamical quantum effects might explain the poor performance ofclassical trajectory calculations in simulating the vibrational deactivation of excited azulene by the lighter noble gases. They proposed an experimental test: a comparison of 3He and 4He deactivation of azulene. In this Letter, the collisional deactivation of benzene, toluene and toluene-ds by 'He and 'He has berm investigated by infrared fluorescence to assess the importance of dynamical quantum effects. The results show that the proposed dynamical quantum effect is not important for these systems over the range of vibrational energies from x 8000 to ?5 35000 cm-'.

Time dependent thermal lensing has been used to monitor energy transfer from CS 2 (optically excited at 31250 cm-1 ) to Kr gas at 50-600 Tort. The results show that the energy transferred per collision is significantly more efficient at lower collision frequencies: a memory effect. This can be expla
