Abstract

Chemiluminescence associated with excimer states of XeO, KrO, ArO, XeS and XeSe has been generated through the reaction of electronically excited rare gas atoms, Rg(ns, ³P₂, ³P₁, or ¹P₁) with N₂O, SCO, SCNH or SeCO. Branching ratios into the atom-transfer channels for reactions of Rg(³P₂) are < 1%. Experiments using a superthermal reagent beam of Xe(³P₂) indicate translational threshold behaviour for the reaction Xe(³P₂) + N₂O → (Xe⁺O^-)^{{black star}} + N₂. Estimates of the initial vibrational population distributions and spectroscopic parameters of XeO and KrO have been achieved through a preliminary analysis of their chemiluminescence spectra.
