Vibrational magnetic dipole transition moments, and hence rotational strengths and vibrational circular dichroism intensities, are determined by the atomic axial tensors. The electronic contributions to the latter, I&, are related via a sum rule to the paramagnetic susceptibility tensor, ,&. Their a

โฆ Synopsis
For simple models of the relaxation of highly vibrationally excited molecules the average energy transferred per collision <At} i for molecules with initial energy e, is a significant quantity. For more realistic models (Ae)i is generalized to a quantity [Aqe], which is not strictly an average. We derive a number of sum rules which show the theoretical significance of quantities [Aqu],
where ai may be some quantity other than c;. For example, if the vibrational relaxation is coupled to reaction, the quantities [ AUK] ; are of importance, xi being the rate constant for reaction of molecules with energy e,.
