Abstract
Vibrational-rotational coupling, due to the fact that the center of interaction is displaced from the center of mass in a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, provides a mechanism for nonradiative vibrational relaxation of diatomic impurities in matrices. A theoretical expression for the rate constant in semiquantitative agreement with experiment is derived.
