| contents | Rotational and vibrational energy relaxation (RER and VER) of N$_2$O embedded in xenon and SF$_6$ environments ranging from the gas phase to the liquid, including the supercritical regime, is studied at a molecular level. Calibrated intermolecular interactions from high-level electronic structure calculations, validated against experiments for the pure solvents were used to carry out classical molecular dynamics simulations corresponding to experimental state points for near-critical isotherms. Computed RER rates in low-density solvent of $k_{\rm rot}^{\rm Xe} = (3.67\pm0.25)\cdot10^{10}$ s$^{-1}$M$^{-1}$ and $k_{\rm rot}^{\rm SF_6} = (1.25\pm0.12)\cdot10^{11}$ s$^{-1}$M$^{-1}$ compare well with rates determined by analysis of 2-dimensional infrared experiments. Simulations find that an isolated binary collision (IBC) description is successful up to solvent concentrations of $\sim 4$ M. For higher densities, including the supercritical regime, the simulations do not correctly describe RER, probably due to neglect of solvent-solute coupling in the analysis of the rotational motion. For VER, the near-quantitative agreement between simulations and pump-probe experiments captures the solvent density-dependent trends. |
