The formation of KrX* and XeX* (X=F, Cl, Br, and I) from the reaction of the (/sup 3/P/sub 1/) resonance states of the rare gases with halogen donors is reported. The experimental procedure is described. The low pressure emission spectra of XeX and KrX from these reactions are compared to that from the (/sup 3/P/sub 2/) metastable atom reactions. Relative rate constants are estimated for formation of the B and C states of XeCl for a series of chlorinated reagents. From the pressure dependence of the XeCl and XeF B/C ratios, values are assigned for the transfer rate constants for He, Ne, and Ar bath gases. (BLM)
