Abstract
Rates for rotational transfer, vibrational crossover, and electronic quenching have been determined for specific rotational levels, N′, of A 2Σ +, ν′ = 1, OH radicals in the presence of N 2 and O 2 quenching gases. Measurements of total rates of depletion of specific rotational levels, rates of energy transfer out of the ν′ = 1 state, and fluorescence spectra were made at room temperature utilizing a low-pressure OH flow system. Total rates of depletion and rotational transfer rates for N 2 and O 2 quenching gases show a weak dependence upon N′. The N 2 quenching rates for these processes and for vibrational crossover were faster than the O 2 rates. Conversely, the O 2 rates for electronic quenching were greater than the N 2 rates.
