• The development of this paper is a generalization of that contained in most of a series on ‘Molecular Collisions’ to include the vibrational degree of freedom in atomdiatom collisions. [See equation (7) of paper V, Curtiss, C. F., and Hardisson, A., 1967, J. chem. Phys., 46, 2618.] It is also a specialization to atom-diatom collisions of a general treatment given in paper XVII of the series Hunter L.W. Curtiss C.F. J. chem. Phys. 1973 58 3884 3884
