The zero-pressure lifetimes of the bending vibrational levels from v2′ = 5,6, and 7 of PH2(Ã 2A1) have been measured and are found to be 720, 35 (PQ1), 26 (PP1), and 3 ns, respectively. The self-quenching constants are (11.0 ± 0.9)×10−10 cm3 molecule −1 s−1 for v2′ = 5 and (7.4 ± 1.4) [PQ1] and (7.7 ± 1.4) [PP1]×10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 for v2′ = 6. Evidence of predissociation of PH2(Ã 2A1) is shown by the sudden drop of its lifetime at v2′ = 6, which however should start at v2′ = 4. A model of indirect predissociation mechanism has been proposed. Composite emissions due to simultaneous excitation of v2′ = 5 and v2′ = 6 and resulting in biexponential fluorescence decay curves have been identified in the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation spectrum of v2′ = 5 where the spectroscopic assignment concerning some rotational lines and reported in literature has also been found to likely be incorrect. Besides, the origin of some unassigned peaks recorded in the same spectrum has been found, through fluorescence decay studies, to itself be v2′ = 5.
