The oriented CO (a3Π, v′ = 0, Ω = 1 and 2) beam has been prepared by using an electric hexapole and applied to the energy transfer reaction of CO (a3Π, v′ = 0, Ω = 1 and 2) + NO (X2Π) → NO (A2Σ+, B2Π) + CO (X1Σ+). The emission spectra of NO (A2Σ+, B2Π) have been measured at three orientation configurations (C-end, O-end, random). The shape of the emission spectra (and/or the internal excitation of products) turns out to be insensitive to the molecular orientation. The vibrational distributions of NO (A2Σ+, v′ = 0–2) and NO (B2Π, v′ = 0–2) are determined to beNv′=0:Nv′=1:Nv′=2= 1:0.40 ± 0.05:0.10 ± 0.05 andNv′=0:Nv′=1:Nv′= 2= 1:0.6 ± 0.1:0.7 ± 0.1, respectively, and the branching ratio γ/β [=NO (A2Σ+)/NO (B2Π)] is estimated to be γ/β ∼ 0.3 ± 0.1 by means of spectral simulation. These vibrational distributions of NO (A, B) can be essentially attributed to the product-pair correlations between CO (X, v″) and NO (A2Σ+, v′ = 0–2), NO (B2Π, v′ = 0–2) due to energetic restriction under the vibrational distribution of CO (X, v″) produced from the vertical transition of CO (a3Π, v′ = 0) → CO (X, v″) in the course of energy transfer. The steric opacity function has been determined at two wavelength regions: 220 < λ < 290 nm [NO (A → X) is dominant]; 320 < λ < 400 nm [NO (B → X) is dominant]. For both channels NO (A2Σ+, B2Π), a significant CO (a3Π) alignment effect is recognized; the largest reactivity at the sideways direction with the small reactivity at the molecular axis direction is observed. These CO (a3Π) alignment effects can be essentially attributed to the steric asymmetry on two sets of molecular orbital overlap, [CO (2π) + NO (6σ (2π))] and [CO (5σ)+NO (1π (2π))]. All experimental observations support the electron exchange mechanism that is operative through the formation of a weakly bound complex OCNO.
