Wanted:Collisional rate coefficients
M(j, v) + H2(j2, v2) M(j’, v’) + H2(j2’, v2’)
Collision energies from ~ 1 to 1,000 cm-1, i.e. rotational excitation dominant
As measurements are difficult, numerical models rely on theoretical calculations.

van der Waals interactions
The interaction energy is a negligible fraction of molecular energies:
E(A-B) = E(AB) – E(A) –E(B)
For van der Waals complexes, the bonding energy is ~ 100 cm-1
Wavenumber accuracy (~ 1 cm-1) required !
