Abstract
The relaxation of HCl(ν) in H 2O HCl collisions for ν=1–10 is studied using classical trajectory techniques at thermal collision energies. In the presence of strong attraction, the collision partners form a complex, in which intramolecular energy transfer takes place efficiently. For HCl(ν=0–3) many complexes survive for several picoseconds, but for HCl(ν>3) most of the collisions last for about 1 ps or less. On redissociation, the major part of the energy released by HCl(ν) deposits in the HCl rotations. The rest transfers into translation. The extent of vibrational energy transfer increases linearly with increasing ν.
