Collisional deactivation of I(2P1/2) by the title compounds was investigated through the use of the time-resolved atomic absorption of excited iodine atoms at 206.2 nm. Rate constants for atomic spin-orbit relaxation by CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl3F, and CCl4 are 3.1±0.3×10-13, 1.28±0.08×10-13, 5.7±0.3×10-14, 3.9±0.4×10-15, and 2.3±0.3×10-15cm3 molecule-1 s-1, respectively, at room temperature (298 K).The higher efficiency observed for relaxation by CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, and CHCl3 reveals a contribution in the deactivation process of the first overtone corresponding to the C(SINGLEBOND)H stretching of the deactivating molecule (which lies close to 7603 cm-1) as well as the number of the contributing modes and certain molecular properties such as the dipole moment. It is believed that, for these molecules, a quasi-resonant (E-v,r,t) energy transfer mechanism operates. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 799-803, 1998
