Vibrational energy transfer in methanol and deuterated methanols

The vibrational energy transfer probabilities in methanol and deuterated methanols are calculated by Schwartz, Slawsky and Herzfeld breathing-sphere theory in the temperature range 300–1000 K. The required breathing-sphere parameters are obtained through normal coordinate analysis. All the modes of...

Description
Summary:The vibrational energy transfer probabilities in methanol and deuterated methanols are calculated by Schwartz, Slawsky and Herzfeld breathing-sphere theory in the temperature range 300–1000 K. The required breathing-sphere parameters are obtained through normal coordinate analysis. All the modes of a manifold, either low-lying or upper vibrational levels, are coupled through rapid V-V exchange processes, whereas the cross-coupling transition probabilities between levels in the different manifolds are smaller by several orders of magnitude.
