Kinetics of metastable excited state products in a beam--gas chemiluminescent reaction

  • 1. Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139

Description

The kinetics of a beam--gas chemiluminescent experiment are investigated. The first observations of collision induced emission from within an excited molecular electronic state are presented. The importance of a ''loss mechanism'' whereby metastable molecules are deactivated in wall collision is discussed. Comparisons with beam--beam chemiluminescent experiments are presented and the role of the excited state radiative lifetime is demonstrated
