A model based on :iemiclassical collision theory is presented to describe the dephasing of vibrationally excited molecules in a Iiquid. It is sholvn that fluctuations of the vibrational frequencies, which are uuzed by the intermolecular interaction, lead to phase rc:laxation of 3 coherently excited
