Abstract
Using the LIF method, we have measured the rate constants of rotational energy transfer for I *2 (B 3Π) in several rovibrational levels and for changes inj up to 32, with I2(X 1Σ), Ar and He as collision partners. A new approach of data processing has been employed to deduce the rate constants from the experimental data. These rate constants were then correlated with fitting laws. It was found that the I *2 -I2 and I *2 -Ar pairs follow the power gap law with the restriction of Δm j=0, but the I *2 -He system has to be represented by an intermediate case between the power gap and exponential gap laws.
