Abstract
The ideas which were introduced in our recent theoretical work on collision-induced vibrational–rotational transitions are further developed here so that the resulting theory can be applied without any restrictions on the type of molecule. Moreover, it is shown that the original theory, in which only straight-line trajectories were considered, can be extended to include other trajectories as well. A minor error occuring in the original work is also corrected. As an application, the dependence of the vibrational transition rates of methyl halides upon the mass of the collision partner is studied.
