The vibrational energy transfer from highly vibrationally excited CO to H 2O molecules is studied by time-resolved Fourier transform infrared emission spectroscopy (TR FTIR). Following the 193 nm laser photolysis of CHBr 3 and O 2 the secondary reactions generate CO(v). The infrared emission of CO(v→v-1) is detected by TR FTIR. The excitation of H 2O molecules is not observed. By the method of the spectral simulation and the differential technique, 8 rate constants for CO(v)/H 2O system are obtained: (1.7±0.1), (3.4±0.2), (6.2±0.4), (8.0±1.0), (9.0±2.0), (12±3), (16±4) and (18±7) (10 -13cm 3·molecule -1·s -1). At least two reasons lead to the efficient energy transfer. One is the contributions of the rotational energy to the vibational energy defect and the other is the result of the complex collision. With the SSH and ab initio calculations, the quenching mechanism of CO(v) by H 2O is suggested.
