Popis: Radiative lifetimes of vibrationally excited H2O+ and D2O+ ions in their ground electronic state (X 2B1) have been determined using the monitor ion technique in a triple cell ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer with Fourier transform detection. The monitor reactions are proton or deuteron transfer from H(D)2O+ to CO2 and N2O. The lifetimes are corrected for collisional deactivation and reactions with the background gases occurring during the relaxation time of the ions. N2O probes all the excited vibrational levels of H2O+ and D2O+. For H2O+ only the bending modes (0,v≥1,0) contribute to the decay curve. The corresponding overall lifetime, 26.8±3 ms, is in very good agreement with the computer simulated overall lifetime including the theoretical lifetimes of Weis et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 91, 2818 (1989)] and estimated populations of the bending vibrational levels. For D2O+, the overall lifetime of the (0,v≥1,0) bending modes, 99.5±15 ms, and the lifetime of the (1,0,0) stretching mode, 27.5±4.5 ms, are obs...
