Rotational state-spcc~fic ra~c constants arc mcasurcd for the clcctronic quenching of the OH(A 'r+. U' = 0) state b> N2, 02. H,. Dz. Hz0 and D,O usin: time-rcsolvcd laser-induced fluorrscencc.
.A significant drcrcasc in rhc electronic quenching mtc constant is obscmed 3s the amount of rotarional excitation in the OH is incrasrd from _V' = 0 IO h" = 7. The dccrcasc is ~60% for tho diatomics and >ZO% for Hz0 and D,O.

The collisional quenching of OH A'Z(u' = 1) by Hz0 was determined from laser-induced fluorescence measurements in the burned-gas region of stoichiometric H,/OJAr flames at low pressure ( 19 and 38 Torr). The collisional quenching was measured as a function of the initial laser-populated rotational l
The vibrational predissociation and electronic quenching dynamics of weakly bound OH-N z (A 2X +) complexes have been examined using laser-induced fluorescence and dispersed fluorescence. We find that predissociation occurs on a ~< 1 ps timescale for complexes prepared in levels correlating with OH
Fluorescence excitation by a tunable dye-laser has been used for measuring the natural iifetime of the OH('ZC) radical, and its chemical lifetime in the presence of atomic hydrogen, molecular hydrogen and argon. For the 0H(2Z+, u = 0, N = 2.J = 3/2) state a natural lifetime of (0.82 + 0.04) wet was
