Notes:
The atom–atom encounter model developed in the accompanying paper [M. G. Sceats, J. Chem. Phys. 91, 0000 (1989)] is applied to the collisional deactivation of highly vibrationally excited triatomic molecules CS2 and SO2 by the monatomic colliders He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe at 300 K. The molecular inputs are a crude normal mode analysis, vibrational frequencies and effective anharmonicities, while the collisional inputs are parameters of the atom–atom potentials. The results for CS2 are compared with the simulations of Bruehl and Schatz and the experiments of Dove, Hippler, and Troe, while those for SO2 are compared with the simulations of Schranz and Troe and the experimental results of Heymann, Hippler, and Troe. Excellent agreement is found with experiment, and the superlinear energy dependence of the average energy transfer is attributed to anharmonicity of the triatomic molecule.
