Collision-induced rototranslational absorption spectra of binary methane complexes (CH4CH4)

Existing rototranslational collision-induced absorption (CIA) spectra of methane pairs are analyzed with the help of spectral profiles computed from quantum mechanics. Dipoles induced by octopolar and hexadecapolar fields, hexadecapolar overlap, and the gradient of the octopolar field are considered. The spectral contributions of both bound and free pairs of molecules are accounted for. The analysis which suggests a centrifugal distortion of rotating methane molecules permits one to reproduce from theory the measured CIA spectra at all temperatures (126–300 K) and over the full range of frequencies (> 700 cm⁻¹ at high temperatures) with rms deviations that are smaller than the experimental uncertainties. The values of the octopole and hexadecapole moments of (nonrotating) CH₄ molecules needed for that purpose are consistent with state-of-the-art ab initio computations for the first time in such work.     

A high level computational study of the CH4/CF4 dimer: how does it compare with the CH4/CH4 and CF4/CF4 dimers?

The interaction within the methane–methane (CH₄/CH₄), perfluoromethane–perfluoromethane (CF₄/CF₄) methane–perfluoromethane dimers (CH₄/CF₄) was calculated using the Hartree–Fock (HF) method, multiple orders of Møller–Plesset perturbation theory [MP2, MP3, MP4(DQ), MP4(SDQ), MP4(SDTQ)], and coupled cluster theory [CCSD, CCSD(T)], as well as the PW91, B97D, and M06-2X density functional theory (DFT) functionals. The basis sets of Dunning and coworkers (aug-cc-pVxZ, x?=?D, T, Q), Krishnan and coworkers [6-311++G(d,p), 6-311++G(2d,2p)], and Tsuzuki and coworkers [aug(df, pd)-6-311G(d,p)] were used. Basis set superposition error (BSSE) was corrected via the counterpoise method in all cases. Interaction energies obtained with the MP2 method do not fit with the experimental finding that the methane–perfluoromethane system phase separates at 94.5?K. It was not until the CCSD(T) method was considered that the interaction energy of the methane–perfluoromethane dimer (?0.69?kcal?mol^?1) was found to be intermediate between the methane (?0.51?kcal?mol^?1) and perfluoromethane (?0.78?kcal?mol^?1) dimers. This suggests that a perfluoromethane molecule interacts preferentially with another perfluoromethane (by about 0.09?kcal?mol^?1) than with a methane molecule. At temperatures much lower than the CH₄/CF₄ critical solution temperature of 94.5?K, this energy difference becomes significant and leads perfluoromethane molecules to associate with themselves, forming a phase separation. The DFT functionals yielded erratic results for the three dimers. Further development of DFT is needed in order to model dispersion interactions in hydrocarbon/perfluorocarbon systems.     

Equation of state and structural characterization of Cu4I4{PPh2(CH2CH = CH2)}4 under pressure

Combined high pressure single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and ab initio simulations based on the density functional theory have been performed on a copper(I) iodide cluster formulated [Cu₄I₄{PPh₂(CH₂CH?=?CH₂)}₄] under high pressure up to 5?GPa. An exhaustive study of compressibility has been done by means of determination of isothermal equations of state and structural changes with pressure at 298?K taking advantage of the single crystal is more precise than powder X-ray diffraction for this type of experiments. It allows us to report the evidence of the existence of an isostructural phase transition of second order at 2.3?GPa not detected so far.     

Der Einfluß der Eigenraumladung auf die Trägervermehrung einer Lawine in N2, CH4 und N2+CH4

In gases with highγ, e.g. N₂, in which the carrier amplification is max. 10⁴ at the static breakdown, electron avalanches with a carrier amplification up to 10⁹ are produced by overvoltage. These avalanches allow to investigate the influence of the own space charge on the carrier amplification above 10⁶. In the homogeneous field of a pulsed 3 cm discharge gap avalanches were produced in N₂, CH₄ and N₂+CH₄. The investigation of avalanches shows an exponential growth according to\(e^{\alpha _0 \nu _ - \cdot t} \) up to 10⁶. Between 10⁶ and ?5·10⁸ the electron avalanches increase underexponentially owing to the own space charge. These results are in accordance with former measurements in vapours. A comparison of the lowering ofα/α ₀ by the space charge with the theory allows the calculation of avalanche diameters and of the thermal energies of the electrons. The calculated values of the electron temperature vary from 2·0 to 2·5 eV for N₂, and from 1·0 to 2·0 eV for CH₄ and N₂+CH₄ atn<10⁷. Above ?·10⁷ the avalanche diameter increases considerably.

Time-Dependent Quantum Dynamics of T＋CH4 → CH3＋HT Reaction

Reaction probability, cross section and rate constant are studied for polyatomic reaction T CH4 → CH3 HT using the semirigid vibrating rotor target (SVRT) model. The numerical calculation for the reaction system is carried out using the time-dependent wavepacket method, and the wavepacket is propagated by the splitoperator method. The calculation exhibits a variety of features that can be used for comparison with future experimental investigations. The reaction probability as a function of the translational energy shows slight oscillatory structures, similar to those observed in H abstraction reactions H H2 and H CH4. The comparisons with the H CH4 reaction are described.

Total cross sections of electron scattering by molecules NF3, PF3, N(CH3)3, P(CH3)3, NH(CH3)2, PH(CH3)2, NH2CH3 and PH2CH3 at 30–5000 eV

Total cross sections of electron scattering by eight molecules NF₃, PF₃, N(CH₃)₃, P(CH₃)₃, NH(CH₃)₂, PH(CH₃)₂, NH₂CH₃ and PH₂CH₃, which have some structural similarities, are calculated at the Hartree-Fork level by the modified additivity rule approach [D.H. Shi, J.F. Sun, Z.L. Zhu, H. Ma, Y.F. Liu, Eur. Phys. J. D 45, 253 (2007); D.H. Shi, J.F. Sun, Y.F. Liu, Z.L. Zhu, X.D. Yang, Chin. Opt. Lett. 4, 192 (2006)]. The modified additivity rule approach takes into considerations that the contributions of the geometric shielding effect vary as the energy of incident electrons, the dimension of target molecule, the number of electrons in the molecule and the number of atoms constituting the molecule. The present investigations cover the impact energy range from 30 to 5000 eV. The quantitative total cross sections are compared with those obtained by experiments and other theories. Excellent agreement is observed even at energies of several tens of eV. It shows that the modified additivity rule approach is applicable to carry out the total cross section calculations of electron scattering by these molecules at intermediate and high energies, in particular over the energy range above 80 eV or so. It proves that the microscopic molecular properties, such as the geometrical size of the target and the number of atoms constituting the molecule, are of crucial importance in the TCS calculations. The new results for PH(CH₃)₂ and PH₂CH₃ are also presented at energies from 30 to 5000 eV, although no experimental and theoretical data are available for comparison. In the present calculations, the atoms are still represented by the spherical complex optical potential, which is composed of static, exchange, polarization and absorption terms.     

激光烧蚀Al热原子与CF4,CCl4,CH2Br2反应中激发态C2的形成

脉冲激光烧蚀平面铝靶产生的热原子与气相CF4,CCl4,CH2Br2的碰撞反应中,在430～600nm之间观测到激发态C2分子的发光光谱,它们可归属为Swan带的d^3Ⅱg=a^3Ⅱu跃迁中△v=2,1,0,-1,-2五个振动序列(v′≤6)。谱强度分析表明,C2激发态可很好的用热平衡描述,其振动温度达6000K左右。同时在△v=0和-1的振动带间观测到振荡的谱峰,它们是转动谱线叠加的结果。激光烧蚀Al产生的等离子体在膨胀中产生的激波及其本身的动能与反应气体碰撞使其解离产生C,然后复合形成C2。C2激发态d可能是通过激发态的Al(^2S)经近共振传能产生,也不排除在有足够碰撞能下优先形成C2激发态b,再通过与d态的v′=6能级交叉无辐射跃迁而进入d态。     

Production of CH （A2△） by multi-photon dissociation of （CH3）2CO,CH3NO2, CH2Br2, and CHBr3 at 213 nm

In order to realize electrostatic Stark deceleration of CH radicals and study cold chemistry, the fifth harmonic of a YAG laser is used to prepare CH(A2△) molecules through using the multi-photon dissociation of(CH3)2CO, CH3NO2, CH2Br2,and CHBr3 at ～ 213 nm. The CH product intensity is measured by using the emission spectrum of CH(A2△→ X2Π). The dependence of fluorescence intensity on laser power is studied, and the probable dissociation channels are analyzed. The relationship between the fluorescence intensity and some parameters, such as the temperature of the beam source, stagnation pressure, and the time delay between the opening of pulse valve and the photolysis laser, are also studied. The influence of three different carrier gases on CH signal intensity is investigated. The vibrational and rotational temperatures of the CH(A2△) product are obtained by comparing experimental data with the simulated ones from the LIFBASE program.     

On the ‘expanded local mode’ approach applied to the methane molecule: isotopic substitutions CH3D ←CH4 and CHD3 ←CH4

Operator perturbation theory and the symmetry properties of the axially symmetric XYZ₃ (C_3v) type molecules are used for the determination of the spectroscopic parameters in the form of functions of structural parameters and parameters of the intramolecular potential function. Several relations between sets of spectroscopic parameters of these molecules are obtained. The ‘expanded local mode’ model and the general isotopic substitution theory are used to estimate the relations between spectroscopic parameters of CH₃D and CHD₃, on one hand, and with the T_d symmetric isotopic species, CH₄, on the other hand. Test calculations with the isotopic relations show that even without including prior information about the CH₃D and CHD₃ species, numerical results of calculations are in a good agreement both with experimental data and with results of ab initio calculations.

Stereodynamics in reaction O（1D） ＋ CH4 〉OH ＋ CH3

A theoretical study of the stereodynamics for reaction O(1D) + CH4→OH + CH3 has been carried out using the quasiclassical trajectory method(QCT) on a potential energy surface structured by Gonzalez et al. The integral cross sections(ICSs), differential cross sections(DCSs) and product rotational angular momentum polarization have been calculated. With the collision energy increasing, the ICS decreases. There is no threshold energy, because no barrier is found on the minimum energy path. The DCS results show that the backward and forward scatterings exist at the same time. With the collision energy increasing, the dominant rotation of the product changes from the right-handed direction to the left-handed direction in planes parallel to the scattering plane. In the isotopic effect study, the decrease of the mass factor weakens the polarization degree of the rotational angular momentum vectors of the products.
