Intermolecular energy transfer in liquid bromoform and d‐bromoform was investigated by help of picosecond IR and Raman spectroscopy. For a comprehensive interpretation of the corresponding results the study of C‐H bending overtone (2v 4 ) relaxation was necessary; the effective vibrational lifetime of this vibrational mode was determined to T 1 = 3±1 ps. For the intermolecular transfer a dominating process between the intramolecularly equilibrated C‐Br stretching modes v 2 and v 5 of CHBr 3 and CDBr 3 with a rate constant of 4·10 10 s −1 was recognized. Other possible channels, particularly the one between the quasi resonant modes v 1 (C‐D) and 2v 4 (C‐H) were found to be negligible.
