Abstract

Extensive studies of a pure electronic transfer

B {}^{1}Π_{u} \to 2 {}^{1}Σ_{g}^{+}

in lithium dimers colliding with Li atoms enable the rates to some 600 (

{}^{7}{Li}_{2}

) or 400 (

{}^{6}{Li}_{2}

) channels from a single level of

B {}^{1}Π_{u}

to be found. This is the first complete direct analysis of pure electronic transfer in a diatomic molecule. The information-theoretic approach points out the main physical facts and clarifies

Δ E

and

Δ J

propensity rules.
