SynopsisThe writer's theory of unimolecular dissociation rates, based on the treatment of the molecule as a harmonically vibrating system, is put in a form which covers quantum as well as classical mechanics. The classical rate formulæ are as before, and are also the high-temperature limits of the new quantum formulæ. The high-pressure first-order rate k∞ is found first from the Gaussian distribution of co-ordinates and momenta of harmonic systems, and is justified for the quantum-mechanical case by Bartlett and Moyal's phase-space distributions. This leads to a re-formulation of k∞ as a molecular dissociation probability averaged over a continuum of states, and to a general rate for any pressure of the gas.The high-pressure rate k∞ is of the form ve-F/kT, where v and F depend, in the quantum case, on the temperature T; but v is always between the highest and lowest fundamental vibration frequencies of the molecule. Concerning the decline of the general rate k with pressure at fixed temperature, k/k∞ is to a certain approximation the same function of as was tabulated earlier for the classical case, apart from a constant factor changing the pressure scale in the quantum case.

A status report and update of the instrumentation necessary to obtain spectra of molecules at high pressures are presented. The optical pressure cells used, the spectrophotometer needed to obtain the spectra, the optical link between the two, high pressure spectroscopic windows, pressure calibration methods, and future outlook of the technique will be determined. The use of the high pressure cells with the interferometric technique and for Raman spectroscopy is outlined.
