Abstract

The rate constant for the deactivation of HCl(ν = 2) by HCl has been measured in liquid Xe at 208 K. Rate constants for deactivation of HCl(ν = 2) by HClCCl2 were also measured at 208 K in the gas phase and in liquid Xe solutions. Both processes were found to be accelerated by the solution environment. The possible physical reasons for this enhancement are discussed.
