Abstract

The reactions of Zn(4¹P₁) with CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈ and C(CH₃)₄ were studied by employing a laser pump-and-probe technique. The nascent rotational state distributions of ZnH (X ²Σ⁺, v″ = 0) were determined. The rotational distributions could be approximated by Boltzmann distributions in all cases. The corresponding Boltzmann temperature decreased with the size of the hydrocarbons; 9000 K for CH₄, 5000 K for C₂H₆, 2900 K for C₃H₈ and 1600 K for C (CH₃)₄. These distributions were compared with those predicted by a statistical model.
