We demonstrate that the electronic deactivation overtakes the vibrational relaxation processes in the energy relaxation processes from the initially excited vibronic state manifolds in highly conjugated molecular systems.

We present a very simple theoretical model aimed at the analysis of non-linear relaxation processes in molecular gases in the presence of partial molecular dissociation induced by vibrational–vibrational exchange between highly excited molecules. The model has a phenomenological character, since it analyzes the behavior of a system of anharmonic diatomic molecules, which is a very rough approximation of a polyatomic molecule such as SF6. Nonetheless, it provides an interesting key for the interpretation of a number of peculiar features characterizing our experimental observation, with which a comparison is made. In particular, the model takes realistic account of the influence of dissociation processes on the relaxation time.
