Using a semiclassical model it is shown that the calcuiations cf Stettler and Witriol, which purport to show that short range forces are responsible for the large aoss secttins. and their inverse temperature dependence, of resonant vibrational energy transfer, involve fallacious arguments.

The Sharma and Brau theory for near-resonance, long range force, vibrational enemy transfers is modified so that it is valid for off-resonancl: transfers as well. The modified theory does not contain the assumption in the original version which leads to overestimation of the transition probabilities
A classical model for V-R and V-V energy transfer between two dissimilar diatomic molecules is proposed. For the exponential repulsive potentid, in the limit as the rotation of the mplecules goes to zero, the presenr model reduces to the previous resu!ts for V-T and V-V energy transfer. For the hydr
