Collisional energy transfer at 300 K of vibrationally highly excited CS/sub 2/ molecules (excitation energies 28 660 and 32 640 cm/sup -1/) is studied directly by time resolved UV absorption spectroscopy after laser excitation at 351 and 308 nm. Average energies <..delta..E> transferred per collision for 27 bath gases are derived. A marked dependence of <..delta..E> on the excitation energy is noted; the steepness of this dependence is not the same for all bath gases. The results are compared with energy transfer data for vibrationally highly excited large molecules.
