  • Title: Rotationally inelastic collisions of CN(A(2)Pi) with small molecules.
    Author: Khachatrian A, Dagdigian PJ.
    Journal: J Phys Chem A; 2009 Nov 26; 113(47):13390-4. PubMed ID: 19405498.
    Abstract:
    An optical-optical double resonance technique has been utilized to investigate rotational energy transfer of selected rotational/fine-structure levels of CN(A(2)Pi, v = 3) in collisions with the molecular partners CO(2) and CH(4). Total removal rate constants for several rotational/fine-structure levels were measured for both collision partners. State-to-state relative rate constants were determined for several initial levels. These show a strikingly strong collisional propensity to conserve the fine-structure/Lambda-doublet label, akin to our previous observations with the N(2) collision partner. The possible origin of this propensity is discussed.
