Rates of quenching of NO (A2Σ+, v = 0) have been measured for the rare gases, and infrared emission used to observe vibrationally excited quenching products. The figure shows emission following quenching by O2, a potential contaminant.

Ozone yields have been measured from the Febetron irradiation of mixtures containing 1–50 mol% oxygen and each of the five rare gases. The maximum values of G(O3) calculated using the energy absorbed only in the rare gas are obtained with the addition of less than 10% oxygen and are for: He, 16; Ne, 14; Ar, 11; Kr, 10; Xe, 12; each with an uncertainty of less than ±10%. On the addition of 0.2 mol% SF6 these yields are reduced to 6,5,1,2, and 2.5 respectively.These values are compared with those derived from ion and excited state yields and the contributions of subexcitation electrons.

The collision-induced spectra of mixtures of ethane and each of the rare gases He, Ar, Kr, and Xe in the 40–360 cm−1 region have been obtained using a Michelson Fourier transform spectrometer. In addition, the temperature dependence of the absorption in ethane and ethane–xenon mixtures is reported. All results have been analyzed according to the theory for quadrupole induced rotation–translation absorption. The absolute value of the quadrupole moment of ethane is estimated to be less than 1.0 B and most likely less than 0.5 B. Various speculations are made concerning the induction mechanisms (other than quadrupolar) for each of the mixtures.

A technique is described for the study of collisional deexcitation of highly vibrationally excited polyatomic molecules by use of externally activated competitive unimolecular reaction systems. This method has some advantages and is illustrated by the decomposition of chemically activated hexyl-3 radicals in the presence of H2 and CF4 as heat bath molecules. The former removes ~1.2 kcal mole−1 per successful collision; while for the latter a value in excess of 4.6 kcal is found so that CF4 behaves operationally like a strong collider.

In the two chondrites Kapoeta and Abee outstanding rare gas content have been found. From the amount and isotopic composition it is concluded that primordial rare gases have been included in these meteorites. Kapoeta contains all rare gases in excess, while Abee has mainly the heavier rare gases as primordial component. The Ne20/Ne22—and A36/A38—ratios show large deviations from atmospheric Neon and Argon. No such large deviations could be found for Krypton and Xenon.

Abstract The influence of the surroundings on the linear dipole polarizability α and second hyperpo-larizability γ is discussed in terms of the density ϱM of isotropically distributed matter as well as the density ϱp of thermal black-body radiation photons, α and γ of the rare gas atoms are studied as examples. At standard conditions, both effects are of comparable size for the rare gases. Possible consequences for ion-molecule reaction rate constants in astronomical environments are suggested.
