Rate constants are reported for the vibrational deactivation of the asymmetric stretching mode of NsO in the gas phase over the temperature range 300-150 K. Experimental pressures varied between 10 and 600 Torr. The collision partners studied are NsO itself, 02, N2 and CH+ The measurements were made

โฆ Synopsis
Energy transfer between vibrationally excited CO and
COz has been used to excite the bendini mode of COa. The rate of deactivation of this mode by CO* and by Ar has been measured down to 150 K. The followรฏng processes were considered CO@= 1) + co,(ooo) Ke 5 CO(u=O) + CO,(OOl), AE = t206 crneL ; (1) Ae CO@= 1) + co,(ooo) K12 e CO(u=O) f CO,(mr+O), AE = AE,; c0,(001) + CO K21_CO + CO,(mn'O), AE=AE,; CO,(OOl) + M K2m c_ CO,(mn~O)+ M, AE= AE,;

Vibration to vibration and rotation (WR) exchange occurs between CO and D, over the temperature range 340 K to 230 K, whilst at lower temperatures VT deactivation is dominant. Probabilities for these processes and for D, -D, deactivation are presented.
Probabilities for the (VT) and (VR) deactivation of CO have been calculated from relaxation times measured down to 77 K using laser fluorescence. Only in the case of deactivation by p-H2 is the (VR) process important; its rate exceeds that for (VT) deactivation between 320 K and 110 K.
A photoacoustic method is used under such experimental conditions that the (01'0) level ofC02 gas is not in e@li%rinrn with the other vibrational Ievck The rate mnsta.ntsk;o characterizing the CO2 (01'0) collisional deactivation by Nz, CO aad 02 are measured directly.
