We show the use of exponential forms of ladder operators in solving the time dependent wave equation for simultaneous vibration--vibration and vibration--translation transitions in diatomic molecules. A general form for such transitions involving one-quantum processes is obtained and applied to D/sub 2/+D/sub 2/. The VT steps strongly couple with VV processes at collision energies several times h..omega.. to reduce the overall VV energy exchange probability substantially.
