Abstract
Rate constants for OH(X 2Πi, v=1–3) vibrational relaxation induced by nonreactive collision with O2 have been measured. OH(v) is created by the H+O3 →OH(v≤9)+O2 reaction in an electron‐irradiated O3, H2, Ar mixture. OH(v) fundamental and first overtone IR emission is observed using time‐resolved Fourier spectroscopy. Spectral fitting followed by kinetic fitting of the resultant populations using a single‐quantum relaxation model yields rate constants of kv=1 =(1.3±0.4)×10−13, kv=2=(2.1±0.3)×10−13, kv=3=(2.9±0.8) ×10−13 (all units are in cm3 /s). Our measurements are consistent with and extend published results on the same system, as well as predictions made by Schwartz–Slawsky–Herzfeld theory.Keywords
