Prediction of the Temperature-Dependence of K-Changing Rotational Collisional Processes in Ch3Cl
The complexity of rotational energy transfer (RET) in polyatomic molecules has in general precluded prediction of nontrivial temperature and energy related effects. In this paper, experimental measurements of Delta K = 3n RET in CH3Cl between 200 K and 400 K are successfully compared with predictions of an earlier model.
