Kinetic study of electronically excited phosphorus atoms, P(3 2DJ, 3 2PJ), by atomic absorption spectroscopy

Abstract
Electronically excited phosphorus atoms, P(32DJ) and P(32PJ), generated by pulsed photolytic initiation, have been monitored photoelectrically in absorption by attenuation of atomic resonance radiation. Rate constants for the collisional deactivation of these two atomic states are reported for the gases H2, O2, and PCl3 and the resulting rate data discussed in terms of the effects of spin and orbital symmetry in the collision intermediate.
