Abstract
Thermal vibrational relaxation times (τ) are calculated for two properly normalzed exponential transition probability models. If both threshold for reaction ( E 0 and a constant related to average energy lost in a collision (γ) are assumed to be temperature independent, τ increases sharply with temperature. A simple analytic formula is derived for τ, valid for γ/ kT < 1 and for E 0/ kT ⪢ 15.
