✦ Synopsis
The radiative lifetime of the NO (b 4~-, U' = 4) state has been measured using the high frequency deflection technique. The result, 9.23 + 0.90 Ixs, is in reasonable agreement with ab initio calculations but a factor of two larger than an earlier experimental determination.

Calculations using large atomic natural orbital (ANO) basis sets and high levels of correlation treatment are employed to determine the radiative lifetime for the t= I-5 levels of the X 'Z+ state ofNO+. The theoretical lifetimes, which agree well with prewous theoretical estimates, are estimated to
The 193 nm photolysis of acetylene has been used as a source of &(B 'Z: ) radicals, which are subsequently detected by laserinduced fluorescence technique. The pressure-dependent collisional lifetimes of this radical are experimentally determined by delaying the probe laser with respect to the photo
The fragment HCO, produced from acetaldehyde by photolysis at 300 nm, was detected by laser-induced fluorescence of B 'A'g 'A' transitions. The fluorescence lifetimes of the HCO B state decrease rapidly as the photolysis energy increases, indicating strong predissociation of the B state. The radiati
The potential curves for the X 'II, A %+ and B 2A states of the CF molecule have been determined using large Gaussian basis sets and accounting for electron correlation with the CASSCF/multireference CI method. The transition moment function between the X \*II and A %+ state is found to undergo a dr
