The CARS (coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering) technique has been used for the first time to observe directly the vibrational energy transfer between nitrogen N2 (X1Σ, ν = 1, 2) and carbon dioxide. The transfer-rate constants were determined as (1.0 ± 0.1) × 1011 cm3 mol−1 s−1 and (1.7 ± 0.4) × 1011 cm3 mol−1 s−1 for N2(ν = 1) and N2(ν = 2), respectively.

The effects of intramolecular redistribution of vibrational energy on both the fate of an excited complex molecule and the appearance of its electronic spectra are discussed in terms of a three-dimensional energy surface. It is suggested that continuous absorption be used as a criterion for the application of classical methods to intra- and inter-molecular vibrational energy transfer in those cases where fluorescence emission is observed.
