The formation of metastable 02(b'Zg+) in the energy-transfer reaction of NWND(a'A,v) with 0 2 was investigated for different photolysis systems. Rate constants for the energy transfer from the vibrational levels v = 0, 1, 2 of NWND(a) were estimated by quantitatively comparing the phosphorescence intensities of the NWND(a1A4X3Z-) and 02(b1Zg+-X3Zg-) transitions. The values of the rate constants are in the range (4-20) x cm3 s-'. They increase significantly with the vibrational quanta of NH(a,v), while, for ND(a, v), an increase is barely noticeable. A comparison with previously determined rate constants for the quenching of the same vibrational states by 0 2 reveals that the efficiencies of the energy-transfer processes are close to unity. Recent kinetic measurements of the quenching of Oz(b'Xg+) by "3, DN3, HNCO, and DNCO are confirmed.
