Abstract
We report small homogeneous widths of high overtones of mode 1 (C-C ring breathing) in benzene and benzene-d6, in contrast with much larger widths of C-H stretch overtones at similar energies. From the uncertainty principle, these widths provide an upper bound to the potential rate of IVR.
