Abstract
The Schwartz, Slawsky, and Herzfeld theory is applied to some previously reported data on substituted methane‐inert‐gas mixtures. It is found that the vibrational relaxation process can be quite adequately explained with this theory and a knowledge of intermolecular force constants. It is also shown that the linear relationship between log(τAB) and μ½, which apparently holds for diatomic dispersive gases, breaks down for more complicated molecules.
