Abstract. Contributions of intermolecular electron energy transfers in the electronic
quenching are calculated for molecular collisions N2(A3Σu+, W3Δu)+N2(X1Σg+,
v=0), N2(A3Σu+)+N2(X1Σg+, v≥0), N2(A3Σu+)+O2(X3Σg−, v=0–2),
O2(a1Δg, b1Σg+)+O2(X3Σg−, v=0–2). The calculation has allowed one to
estimate the product branching ratios. It is shown that there is a
dependence of the calculated rate coefficients on the vibrational excitation of
N2(X1Σg+) and O2(X3Σg−) molecules. In many cases, the calculated rate coefficients
have a good agreement with available experimental data.
