Steric effect in the energy transfer reaction of oriented CO (a 3Π, v'=0, Ω=1 and 2) + NO (X 2Π) → NO (A 2Σ+, B 2Π) + CO (X 1Σ+)

The oriented CO (a (3)Π, v' = 0, Ω = 1 and 2) beam has been prepared by using an electric hexapole and applied to the energy transfer reaction of CO (a (3)Π, v' = 0, Ω = 1 and 2) + NO (X (2)Π) → NO (A (2)Σ(+), B (2)Π) + CO (X (1)Σ(+)). The emission spectra of NO (A (2)Σ(+), B(2)Π) 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 (A (2)Σ(+), v' = 0-2) and NO (B (2)Π, v' = 0-2) are determined to be N(v'=0):N(v'=1):N(v'=2) = 1:0.40 ± 0.05:0.10 ± 0.05 and N(v'=0):N(v'=1):N(v'= 2) = 1:0.6 ± 0.1:0.7 ± 0.1, respectively, and the branching ratio γ/β [=NO (A (2)Σ(+))/NO (B (2)Π)] 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 (A (2)Σ(+), v' = 0-2), NO (B (2)Π, v' = 0-2) due to energetic restriction under the vibrational distribution of CO (X, v″) produced from the vertical transition of CO (a (3)Π, 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 (A (2)Σ(+), B(2)Π), a significant CO (a (3)Π) alignment effect is recognized; the largest reactivity at the sideways direction with the small reactivity at the molecular axis direction is observed. These CO (a (3)Π) 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.     

Optical stark spectroscopy of the D1Π-X1Σ+(0,0) band of scandium monohydride

The laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of the D(1)Π-X(1)Σ(+)(0,0) band of a rotationally cold (<20 K) molecular beam sample of scandium monohydride, ScH, and scandium monodeuteride, ScD, were recorded without and in the presence of a static electric field. The fine and magnetic hyperfine parameters for the X(1)Σ(+)(v=0) and D(1)Π(v=0) states of ScH and ScD were determined from the analysis of the field-free spectra. An unexpected isotopic dependence of the (45)Sc(I=7/2) magnetic hyperfine interaction was observed. The lowest J-levels of the D(1)Π( v=0) state of ScH are not perturbed, but the corresponding levels for ScD are strongly perturbed. The observed electric field induced splitting, broadenings, and shifts were analyzed to produce permanent electric dipole moments, μ(e), of 1.74 ± 0.15 and 2.177 ± 0.006 D for the X(1)Σ(+)(v=0) and D(1)Π(v=0) states, respectively. The trend in μ(e) for the 3d-metal monohydrides is discussed.     

Stereo correlated dynamics in the energy transfer process of aligned N(2) (A (3)Σ(u) (+)) + oriented NO (X (2)Π, Ω = 1∕2) → NO (A (2)Σ(+)) + N(2) (X (1)Σ(g) (+))

Steric effect for the NO (A (2)Σ(+)) formation in the aligned N(2) (A (3)Σ(u) (+)) + oriented NO (X (2)Π, Ω = 1∕2) reaction has been observed as a function of the mutual orientational configurations between the two molecular reactants in the collision frame. Multidimensional molecular steric opacity function has been determined. A significant NO (X (2)Π) alignment dependence is recognized in contrast with little dependence on NO (X (2)Π) orientation. The NO alignment selectivity turns out to depend on the N(2) (A (3)Σ(u) (+)) alignment: The axial configuration of NO (X (2)Π) is favorable for the axial and sideways configurations of N(2) (A (3)Σ(u) (+)), while the sideways configuration of NO (X (2)Π) is favorable for the oblique configuration of N(2) (A (3)Σ(u) (+)) at an orientation angle of θ(v(R) ) ～ 45°. with respect to the relative velocity (v(R)).     

Quantum-mechanical calculation of the reactions D + FH(ν = 0, 1, 2) → DF(ν′) + H and H + FD(ν = 0, 1, 2, 3) → HF(ν′) + D on a realistic potential energy surface

Collinear (two-mathematical-dimensional (2MD)) coupled-channel quantum-mechanical calculations have been performed on the reactions D + FH(ν = 0, 1, 2) → DF(ν′) + H and H + FD(ν = 0, 1, 2, 3) → HF(ν′) + D on a potential energy surface with a 40 kcal/mole barrier to exchange. This barrier height is close to that predicted by ab initio calculations and suggested by experiments. The relative effectiveness of reagent vibrational and translational excitation to promote reaction is considered. A one-mathematical-dimensional (1MD) model for these reactions is constructed and is shown to work very well for the D + FH reaction at high temperatures, and less well for that reaction at lower temperatures as well as for the reverse H + FD reaction. Possible reasons for the breakdowns of this model are discussed.     

Spectroscopic analysis of the coupled 1(1)Π, 2(3)Σ+ (Ω = 0-, 1), and b(3)Π (Ω = 0±, 1, 2) states of the KRb molecule using both ultracold molecules and molecular beam experiments

We report the spectroscopic characterization of excited electronic states of KRb by combining spectra from molecular beam (MB) experiments with those from ultracold molecules (UM) formed by photoassociation (PA) of ultracold atoms. Spectra involving the 1(1)Π, 2(3)Σ(+), and b(3)Π states in a strongly perturbed region have been identified. This approach provides a powerful method to identify the vibrational levels of the excited electronic states perturbed globally by neighboring electronic states. This is because the two sets of spectra from the UM and the MB experiments probe the same energy region from very different initial electronic states. The UM experiments utilize high v' levels of the a(3)Σ(+) state with large internuclear separations, while the MB experiments utilize low v' levels of the ground X(1)Σ(+) state with near-equilibrium internuclear separations. Only the Ω = 1 levels of the 2(3)Σ(+) and b(3)Π states are observed in the MB spectra, while the Ω = 0(-), 1 levels of the 2(3)Σ(+) state and the Ω = 0(±), 1, 2 levels of the b(3)Π state are observed in the UM spectra.     

Alignment effect of N2(A3Σu+) in the energy transfer reaction of aligned N2(A3Σu+) + NO(X2Π) → NO(A2Σ+) + N2(X1Σg+)

Steric effect in the energy transfer reaction of N(2)(A(3)Σ(u)(+)) + NO(X(2)Π) → NO(A(2)Σ(+)) + N(2)(X(1)Σ(g)(+)) has been studied under crossed beam conditions at a collision energy of ~0.07 eV by using an aligned N(2)(A(3)Σ(u)(+)) beam prepared by a magnetic hexapole. The emission intensity of NO(A(2)Σ(+)) has been measured as a function of the magnetic orientation field direction (i.e., alignment of N(2)(A(3)Σ(u)(+))) in the collision frame. A significant alignment effect on the energy transfer probability is observed. The shape of the steric opacity function turns out to be most reactive at the oblique configuration of N(2)(A(3)Σ(u)(+)) with an orientation angle of γ(v(R)) ~ 45° with respect to the relative velocity vector (v(R)), which has a good correlation with the spatial distribution of the 2pπ(g)* molecular orbital of N(2)(A(3)Σ(u)(+)). We propose the electron exchange mechanism in which the energy transfer probability is dominantly controlled by the orbital overlap between N(2)(2pπ(g)*) and NO(6σ).     

Collisional relaxation of O2(X3Σg(-), υ = 1) and O2(a1Δg, υ = 1) by atmospherically relevant species

Laboratory measurements are reported of the rate coefficient for collisional removal of O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) by O((3)P), and the rate coefficients for removal of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) by O(2), CO(2), and O((3)P). A two-laser method is employed, in which the pulsed output of the first laser at 285 nm photolyzes ozone to produce oxygen atoms and O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1), and the output of the second laser detects O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) via resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. The kinetics of O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) + O((3)P) relaxation is inferred from the temporal evolution of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1), an approach enabled by the rapid collision-induced equilibration of the O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) and O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) populations in the system. The measured O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) + O((3)P) rate coefficient is (2.9 ± 0.6) × 10(-12) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and (3.4 ± 0.6) × 10(-12) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. These values are consistent with the previously reported result of (3.2 ± 1.0) × 10(-12) cm(3) s(-1), which was obtained at 315 K using a different experimental approach [K. S. Kalogerakis, R. A. Copeland, and T. G. Slanger, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 194303 (2005)]. For removal of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) by O((3)P), the upper limits for the rate coefficient are 4 × 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and 6 × 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. The rate coefficient for removal of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) by O(2) is (5.6 ± 0.6) × 10(-11) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and (5.9 ± 0.5) × 10(-11) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. The O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) + CO(2) rate coefficient is (1.5 ± 0.2) × 10(-14) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10(-14) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. The implications of the measured rate coefficients for modeling of atmospheric emissions are discussed.     

Laser excitation spectrum of the 0g+(X 1Σg+)−0u+(3Πu) transition in Cd2

Spectroscopic constants and bond strengths of ground-state 0_g⁺(¹Σ_g⁺) and excited state 0_u⁺(³Π_u) Cd₂ van der Waals molecules have been determined by laser excitation of Cd₂ spectra in a supersonic expansion of cadmium vapor.     

The 1(5)Π(g) state of C2

We report ab initio spectroscopic constants for the recently identified 1(5)Π(g) state of C(2) [P. Bornhauser, Y. Sych, G. Knopp, T. Gerber, and P. P. Radi, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 044302 (2011)]. The calculations are performed at the multi-reference configuration interaction level of theory with Davidson's correction using aug-cc-pV6Z basis sets and include core-valence correlation and relativistic corrections obtained with quadruple-zeta bases. Such treatment accurately reproduces the experimentally observed constants of the a(3)Π(u) and other states. Thus, we expect our calculated ω(e) value for the 1(5)Π(g) state to be within a few cm(-1), and rotational constants to be within 0.1% of experiment. Agreement with available spectroscopic data is excellent, with the calculations strongly suggesting that the 1(5)Π(g) vibrational level observed by Bornhauser et al. is v = 0.     

Crossed beam reactions of methylidyne [CH(X2Π)] with D2-acetylene [C2D2(X1Σg(+))] and of D1-methylidyne [CD(X2Π)] with acetylene [C2H2(X1Σg(+))

The crossed molecular beam reactions of ground state methylidyne, CH(X(2)Π), with D2-acetylene, C(2)D(2)(X(1)Σ(g)(+)), and of D1-methylidyne, CD(X(2)Π), with acetylene, C(2)H(2)(X(1)Σ(g)(+)), were conducted under single collision conditions at a collision energy of 17 kJ mol(-1). Four competing reaction channels were identified in each system following atomic 'hydrogen' (H/D) and molecular 'hydrogen' (H(2)/D(2)/HD) losses. The reaction dynamics were found to be indirect via complex formation and were initiated by two barrierless-addition pathways of methylidyne/D1-methylidyne to one and to both carbon atoms of the D2-acetylene/acetylene reactant yielding HCCDCD/DCCHCH and c-C(3)D(2)H/c-C(3)H(2)D collision complexes, respectively. The latter decomposed via atomic hydrogen/deuterium ejection to form the thermodynamically most stable cyclopropenylidene species (c-C(3)H(2), c-C(3)D(2), c-C(3)DH). On the other hand, the HCCDCD/DCCHCH adducts underwent hydrogen/deuterium shifts to form the propargyl radicals (HDCCCD, D(2)CCCH; HDCCCH, H(2)CCCD) followed by molecular 'hydrogen' losses within the rotational plane of the decomposing complex yielding l-C(3)H/l-C(3)D. Quantitatively, our crossed beam studies suggest a dominating atomic compared to molecular 'hydrogen' loss with fractions of 81 ± 23% vs. 19 ± 10% for the CD/C(2)H(2) and 87 ± 30% vs. 13 ± 4% for the CH/C(2)D(2) systems. The role of these reactions in the formation of interstellar isomers of C(3)H(2) and C(3)H is also discussed.     

Chemical dynamics of the CH(X2Π) + C2H4(X1A1g), CH(X2Π) + C2D4(X1A1g), and CD(X2Π) + C2H4(X1A1g) reactions studied under single collision conditions

The crossed beam reactions of the methylidyne radical with ethylene (CH(X(2)Π) + C(2)H(4)(X(1)A(1g))), methylidyne with D4-ethylene (CH(X(2)Π) + C(2)D(4)(X(1)A(1g))), and D1-methylidyne with ethylene (CD(X(2)Π) + C(2)H(4)(X(1)A(1g))) were conducted at nominal collision energies of 17-18 kJ mol(-1) to untangle the chemical dynamics involved in the formation of distinct C(3)H(4) isomers methylacetylene (CH(3)CCH), allene (H(2)CCCH(2)), and cyclopropene (c-C(3)H(4)) via C(3)H(5) intermediates. By tracing the atomic hydrogen and deuterium loss pathways, our experimental data suggest indirect scattering dynamics and an initial addition of the (D1)-methylidyne radical to the carbon-carbon double bond of the (D4)-ethylene reactant forming a cyclopropyl radical intermediate (c-C(3)H(5)/c-C(3)D(4)H/c-C(3)H(4)D). The latter was found to ring-open to the allyl radical (H(2)CCHCH(2)/D(2)CCHCD(2)/H(2)CCDCH(2)). This intermediate was found to be long lived with life times of at least five times its rotational period and decomposed via atomic hydrogen/deuterium loss from the central carbon atom (C2) to form allene via a rather loose exit transition state in an overall strongly exoergic reaction. Based on the experiments with partially deuterated reactants, no compelling evidence could be provided to support the formation of the cyclopropene and methylacetylene isomers under single collision conditions. Likewise, hydrogen/deuterium shifts in the allyl radical intermediates or an initial insertion of the (D1)-methylidyne radical into the carbon-hydrogen/deuterium bond of the (D4)-ethylene reactant were found to be-if at all-of minor importance. Our experiments propose that in hydrocarbon-rich atmospheres of planets and their moons such as Saturn's satellite Titan, the reaction of methylidyne radicals should lead predominantly to the hitherto elusive allene molecule in these reducing environments.     

Syntheses of (C_5H_9C_5H_4)_2LnCl(THF)_n (Ln=Nd, Sm, Er, Yb) and crystal structure of [(C_5H_9C_5H_4)_2-LnCl(THF)_n]_2(Ln=Sm, n=1; Ln=Er, n=0)

Reactions of lanthanoid trichlorides with sodium cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl in THFafford bis(cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl) lanthanoid chloride complexes (C_5H_9C_5H_4)_2LnCl(THF)_n (Ln=Nd, Sm, n=1; Ln= Er, Yb, n= 0). The compound [CP'_2SmCl(THF)]_2 (2) (Cp' =cyclopentylcy-clopentadienyl) crystallizes from mixed solvent of hexane and THF in monoclinic space group P_2_1/cwith a = 11.583 (3), b = 23.019(6), c = 8.227 (2), β= 90.26 (2)°, V= 2194 (1)~3, D_c= 1.59 g/cm~3.μ= 28.6 cm~(-1), F(000) = 1060, Z= 2 (dimers). Its crystal molecule is a dimer with a crystallographicsymmetry center. The central metal atom Sm is coordinated to two Cp' rings, two bridging chlorineatoms and one THF forming a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The crystal of [Cp'_2ErCl]_2 (3) belongs tothe triclinic space group P with a = 11.264 (2), b= 13.296(5), c = 14.296(6), a = 96.99 (3), β=112.47(2), γ= 102.78(2)°, V= 1865(1)~3, D_c= 1.67 g /cm~3, μ= 48.0 cm~(-1), F(000) = 924, Z = 2 (dimers).The molecule is a dimer consisting of two Cp'_2 ErCl species bridged by two Cl atoms. The centralmetal atom Er is coordinated to two Cp' rings and two bridging chlorine atoms forming a pseudo-tetrahedron. All these complexes are soluble in THF, DME, Et_2O, toluene and hexane.     

Rapid collisional quenching of the N = 1, υ = 2 level of the H2(c3Πu) metastable state by H2

The rate coefficient for collisional quenching of the N = 1, υ = 2 level of the H₂(c³Π_u) metastable state by H₂ is measured to be (2.0 ± 0.2)×10⁻¹⁵ m³/s at 300 K. The metastables are produced by an electric discharge, radiatively quenched by a pulsed laser, and the recovery of metastable population monitored by cw dye laser absorption.     

Formation of ultracold Rb2 molecules in the v' = 0 level of the a(3)Σ+(u) state via blue-detuned photoassociation to the 1(3)Π(g) state

We report on the observation of blue-detuned photoassociation in Rb(2), in which vibrational levels are energetically above the corresponding excited atomic asymptote. (85)Rb atoms in a MOT were photoassociated at short internuclear distance to levels of the 1(3)Π(g) state at a rate of approximately 5 × 10(4) molecules s(-1). We have observed most of the predicted vibrational levels for all four spin-orbit components; 0(+)(g), 0(-)(g), 1(g), and 2(g), including levels of the 0(+)(g) outer well. These molecules decay to the metastable a(3)Σ(+)(u) state, some preferentially to the v' = 0 level, as we have observed for photoassociation to the v' = 8 level of the 1(g) component.     

Nonadiabatic dynamics of O(1D) + N2(X1Σg+) → O(3P) + N2(X1Σg+) on three coupled potential surfaces: symmetry, Coriolis, spin-orbit, and Renner-Teller effects

We present the spin-orbit (SO) and Renner-Teller (RT) quantum dynamics of the spin-forbidden quenching O((1)D) + N(2)(X(1)Σ(g)(+)) → O((3)P) + N(2)(X(1)Σ(g)(+)) on the N(2)O X(1)A', ?(3)A", and b(3)A' coupled PESs. We use the permutation-inversion symmetry, propagate coupled-channel (CC) real wavepackets, and compute initial-state-resolved probabilities and cross sections σ(j(0)) for the ground vibrational and the first two rotational states of N(2), j(0) = 0 and 1. Labeling symmetry angular states by j and K, we report selection rules for j and for the minimum K value associated with any electronic state, showing that ?(3)A" is uncoupled in the centrifugal-sudden (CS) approximation at j(0) = 0. The dynamics is resonance-dominated, the probabilities are larger at low K, σ(j(0)) decrease with the collision energy and increase with j(0), and the CS σ(0) is lower than the CC one. The nonadiabatic interactions play different roles on the quenching dynamics, because the X(1)A'-b(3)A' SO effects are those most important while the ?(3)A"-b(3)A' RT ones are negligible.     

High-resolution spectroscopy on the B2Σ+,ν' = 0→X2Π, ν″ =1 transition in SiCl

High-resolution laser-induced fluorescence spectra of²⁸Si³⁵Cl and ²⁸Si³⁷Cl have been observed in a molecular beam. Accurate constants describing the rotational structure in the X ²Π, ν″ = 1 as well as in the electronically excited B ²Σ⁺, ν' = 0 state are given. An inverted fine structure was found in the excited state with a spin-splitting constant γ = −31.15±0.19 MHz for Si³⁵Cl and γ = −30.62 ±0.61 MHz for Si³⁷Cl.     

Experimental studies of the NaCs 5(3)Π0 and 1(a)3Σ+ states

We report high resolution measurements of 372 NaCs 5(3)Π(0)(v, J) ro-vibrational level energies in the range 0 ≤ v ≤ 22. The data have been used to construct NaCs 5(3)Π(0) potential energy curves using the Rydberg-Klein-Rees and inverted perturbation approximation methods. Bound-free 5(3)Π(0)(v, J) → 1(a)(3)Σ(+) emission has also been measured, and is used to determine the repulsive wall of the 1(a)(3)Σ(+) state and the 5(3)Π(0) → 1(a)(3)Σ(+) relative transition dipole moment function. Hyperfine structure in the 5(3)Π(0) state has not been observed in this experiment. This null result is explained using a simple vector coupling model.
