✦ Synopsis
Evcimer laser (AM?) photolysls of dratomic and Qiatomic hydrides produces hydrogen atoms with tmnslaticd euer-Des in excess of 15000 an-l per atom. Subsequent colhsions of these "hot" atoms with CO2 and N20 produces vii=tionally exated molecules which can be detected by their characteristic i&tared emission.

Nascent Doppler profiles are measured for hot H-atom-molecule collisions in numerous rotational sublevels of two symmetric tops. Linewidths for CDF, molecules due to hot H-atom collisions increase with the quantum number K. In contrast, linewidths for CDsF molecules due to hot H-atom collisions decr

If the collisional ionization is chiefly due to energy transfer from the polar-molcculc rotation to an electron in a high Rydberg state of the atom, then theory predicts that the cross section averaged over a thermal distribution of rotational states should show step-like structure as a function of

It is found that the triplet-triplet energy transfer (ET) reaction between triplet benzophenone ('BP\*) and l-naphthol (ROH) is competitive with the hydrogen atom abstraction (HA) reaction. The rate constant of ET is enhanced with an increase of solvent polarity while that of HA is reduced. A possib
