The temperature dependence of the gas-phase collisional relaxation of highly vibrationally excited aromatic molecules has been studied using large scale classical trajectory calculations. The investigations have focused on azulene collisions with different colliders (He, Ar and N

AbstractSimplified representations of branching fractions for thermal unimolecular two-channel reactions are discussed. The dissociation of formaldehyde serves as an illustrative example. Quantum-corrected classical trajectory calculations on an ab initio potential energy surface are combined with master equation calculations for collisional energy transfer. The treatment accounts for roaming atom dynamics. The dependence of the channel branching fractions on the bath gas pressure and temperature, on the collision efficiencies, and on the difference of channel threshold energies, are explored. It is discussed to what extent the derived simplified representations of channel branching fractions can be generalized.

Collisional energy transfer between highly vibrationally excited biphenylene and a variety of mono- and polyatomic bath gases has been measured at temperatures between 333 and 523 K. Biphenylene molecules were initially prepared with an additional vibrational energy of 28490 cm
