O 2( 1Σ +g) relaxation in collisions. Temperature dependence of the interaction with HBr

Rate constants for the quenching of O 2( 1Σ + g) by HBr have been determined over the temperature range 170 to 400 K and found to show only a very small increase with rising temperature. These experimental values compare favorably with quenching probabilities calculated by assuming both short-range...

Summary:Rate constants for the quenching of O 2( 1Σ + g) by HBr have been determined over the temperature range 170 to 400 K and found to show only a very small increase with rising temperature. These experimental values compare favorably with quenching probabilities calculated by assuming both short-range (repulsive) interactions and long-range (multipolar) interaction induce the relaxation.
