A time-dependent wave packet quantum scattering study of the reaction HD+ (v = 0 - 3;j0 = 1) + He --> HeH+(HeD+) + D(H)

Time-dependent wave packet quantum scattering (TWQS) calculations are presented for HD(+) (v = 0 - 3;j(0)=1) + He collisions in the center-of-mass collision energy (E(T)) range of 0.0-2.0 eV. The present TWQS approach accounts for Coriolis coupling and uses the ab initio potential energy surface of Palmieri et al. [Mol. Phys. 98, 1839 (2000)]. For a fixed total angular momentum J, the energy dependence of reaction probabilities exhibits quantum resonance structure. The resonances are more pronounced for low J values and for the HeH(+) + D channel than for the HeD(+) + H channel and are particularly prominent near threshold. The quantum effects are no longer discernable in the integral cross sections, which compare closely to quasiclassical trajectory calculations conducted on the same potential energy surface. The integral cross sections also compare well to recent state-selected experimental values over the same reactant and translational energy range. Classical impulsive dynamics and steric arguments can account for the significant isotope effect in favor of the deuteron transfer channel observed for HD(+)(v<3) and low translational energies. At higher reactant energies, angular momentum constraints favor the proton-transfer channel, and isotopic differences in the integral cross sections are no longer significant. The integral cross sections as well as the J dependence of partial cross sections exhibit a significant alignment effect in favor of collisions with the HD(+) rotational angular momentum vector perpendicular to the Jacobi R coordinate. This effect is most pronounced for the proton-transfer channel at low vibrational and translational energies.

Quantum and classical studies of the O(3P) + H2(v = 0-3,j = 0) --> OH + H reaction using benchmark potential surfaces

We present results of time-dependent quantum mechanics (TDQM) and quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) studies of the excitation function for O(3P) + H2(v = 0-3,j = 0) --> OH + H from threshold to 30 kcal/mol collision energy using benchmark potential energy surfaces [Rogers et al., J. Phys. Chem. A 104, 2308 (2000)]. For H2(v = 0) there is excellent agreement between quantum and classical results. The TDQM results show that the reactive threshold drops from 10 kcal/mol for v = 0 to 6 for v = 1, 5 for v = 2 and 4 for v = 3, suggesting a much slower increase in rate constant with vibrational excitation above v = 1 than below. For H2(v > 0), the classical results are larger than the quantum results by a factor approximately 2 near threshold, but the agreement monotonically improves until they are within approximately 10% near 30 kcal/mol collision energy. We believe these differences arise from stronger vibrational adiabaticity in the quantum dynamics, an effect examined before for this system at lower energies. We have also computed QCT OH(v',j') state-resolved cross sections and angular distributions. The QCT state-resolved OH(v') cross sections peak at the same vibrational quantum number as the H2 reagent. The OH rotational distributions are also quite hot and tend to cluster around high rotational quantum numbers. However, the dynamics seem to dictate a cutoff in the energy going into OH rotation indicating an angular momentum constraint. The state-resolved OH distributions were fit to probability functions based on conventional information theory extended to include an energy gap law for product vibrations.     

The relaxation of OH (v=1) and OD (v=1) by H2O and D2O at temperatures from 251 to 390 K

We report rate coefficients for the relaxation of OH(v=1) and OD(v=1) by H2O and D2O as a function of temperature between 251 and 390 K. All four rate coefficients exhibit a negative dependence on temperature. In Arrhenius form, the rate coefficients for relaxation (in units of 10(-12) cm3 molecule-1 s-1) can be expressed as: for OH(v=1)+H2O between 263 and 390 K: k=(2.4+/-0.9) exp((460+/-115)/T); for OH(v=1)+D2O between 256 and 371 K: k=(0.49+/-0.16) exp((610+/-90)/T); for OD(v=1)+H2O between 251 and 371 K: k=(0.92+/-0.16) exp((485+/-48)/T); for OD(v=1)+D2O between 253 and 366 K: k=(2.57+/-0.09) exp((342+/-10)/T). Rate coefficients at (297+/-1 K) are also reported for the relaxation of OH(v=2) by D2O and the relaxation of OD(v=2) by H2O and D2O. The results are discussed in terms of a mechanism involving the formation of hydrogen-bonded complexes in which intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution can occur at rates competitive with re-dissociation to the initial collision partners in their original vibrational states. New ab initio calculations on the H2O-HO system have been performed which, inter alia, yield vibrational frequencies for all four complexes: H2O-HO, D2O-HO, H2O-DO and D2O-DO. These data are then employed, adapting a formalism due to Troe (J. Troe, J. Chem. Phys., 1977, 66, 4758), in order to estimate the rates of intramolecular energy transfer from the OH (OD) vibration to other modes in the complexes in order to explain the measured relaxation rates-assuming that relaxation proceeds via the hydrogen-bonded complexes.     

Photodissociation dynamics of phenol

The photodissociation of phenol at 193 and 248 nm was studied using multimass ion-imaging techniques and step-scan time-resolved Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The major dissociation channels at 193 nm include cleavage of the OH bond, elimination of CO, and elimination of H(2)O. Only the former two channels are observed at 248 nm. The translational energy distribution shows that H-atom elimination occurs in both the electronically excited and ground states, but elimination of CO or H(2)O occurs in the electronic ground state.

Acid-Base Properties of the Ground and Excited States of Ruthenium(II) Bis(2,2'-bipyridine) 3-Carboxyl-2,2'-bipyridine

Acid-base properties for ruthenium(II) bis(2,2'-bipyridine) 3-carboxyl-2,2'-bipyridine reveal a ground state pK(a) of 0.82 +/- 0.07 and an excited state pK(a) of 2.31 +/- 0.05, a 1.5 pH unit increase from the ground state. The excited state pK(a) is temperature independent while the ground state pK(a)(0) increases with temperature and has DeltaH(0) and DeltaS(0) values of -990 +/- 149 cm(-)(1) and -4.57 +/- 0.48 cm(-)(1) K(-)(1), respectively. The acidic form of the complex emits at lower energy than the basic form at both 296 and 77 K. The emission energy maxima are solvent dependent and decrease in energy when the solvent changes from 4:1 (v/v) 2-MeTHF-CH(2)Cl(2) to water and when the pH decreases. Changes in excited state lifetimes with emission energy follow the energy gap law with an intercept of 49 +/- 1 and a slope of (2.11 +/- 0.09) x 10(-)(3). Emission quantum yields for protonated and deprotonated species in 4:1 (v/v) 2-MeTHF-CH(2)Cl(2) are 0.023 +/- 0.001 and 0.110 +/- 0.002, respectively. The temperature dependence of the emission lifetimes gives energy barriers of 270 cm(-)(1) for the complex in aqueous solution at pH -0.5, and 990 cm(-)(1) in aqueous solution at pH 4.5, and 1920 cm(-)(1) in 4:1 (v/v) 2-MeTHF-CH(2)Cl(2.)     

Time-dependent Quantum Wave Packet Study of F+HCl and F+DCl Reactions

The F+HCl and F+DCl reactions are studied by the time-dependent quantum wave packet method, using the most recent potential energy surface reported by Deskevich et al.. Total reaction probabilities for a number of initial ro-vibrational states of HCl and DCl diatomic moiety are presented in the case of total angular momentum J=0. It is found that for both reactions the initial rotational excitation of the diatomic moiety enhances greatly the reaction probabilities but this e?ect is more signiˉcant for F+HCl system. This is mainly due to larger rotational constant of the HCl reagent. The initial vibrational excitation of the diatomic moiety has little e?ect on the reactivity for both systems except shifting down the collision energy threshold. The results indicate that the reaction coordinates for these two systems are e?ectively along rotational freedom degree. More quantum phenomena, such as tunneling and resonance, are observed in F+HCl reaction than F+DCl reaction, and for the initial states studied, the reactivity of the later is lower. Di?erent skewing angles of these two systems account for these isotopic di?erences.     

The dynamics of allyl radical dissociation

Dissociation of the allyl radical, CH(2)CHCH(2), and its deuterated isotopolog, CH(2)CDCH(2), have been investigated using trajectory calculations on an ab initio ground-state potential energy surface calculated for 97,418 geometries at the coupled cluster single and double and perturbative treatment of triple excitations, with the augmented correlation consistent triple-ζ basis set level (CCSD(T)/AVTZ). At an excitation energy of 115 kcal/mol, corresponding to optical excitation at 248 nm, the primary channel is hydrogen loss with a quantum yield of 0.94 to give either allene or propyne in a ratio of 6.4:1. The total dissociation rate for CH(2)CHCH(2) is 6.3 × 10(10) s(-1), corresponding to a 1/e time of 16 ps. Methyl and C(2)H(2) are produced with a quantum yield of 0.06 by three different mechanisms: a 1,3 hydrogen shift followed by C-C cleavage to give methyl and acetylene, a double 1,2 shift followed by C-C cleavage to give methyl and acetylene, or a single 1,2 hydrogen shift followed by C-C cleavage to give methyl and vinylidene. In this last channel, the vinylidene eventually isomerizes to give internally excited acetylene, and the kinetic energy distribution is peaked at much lower energy (6.4 kcal/mol) than that for the other two channels (18 kcal/mol). The trajectory results also predict the v-J correlation, the anisotropy of dissociation, and distributions for the angular momentum of the fragments. The v-J correlation for the CH(3) + HCCH channel is strongest for high rotational levels of acetylene, where v is perpendicular to J. Methyl elimination is anisotropic, with β = 0.66, whereas hydrogen elimination is nearly isotropic. In the hydrogen elimination channel, allene is rotationally excited with a total angular momentum distribution peaked near J = 17. In the methyl elimination channel, the peak of the methyl rotational distribution is at J ≈ 12, whereas the peak of the acetylene rotational distribution is at J ≈ 28.     

Distribution of internal states of CO from O (1D) + CO determined with time-resolved fourier transform spectroscopy

Following collisions of O (1D) with CO, rotationally resolved emission spectra of CO (1 < or = v < or = 6) in the spectral region 1800-2350 cm(-1) were detected with a step-scan Fourier transform spectrometer. O (1D) was produced by photolysis of O3 with light from a KrF excimer laser at 248 nm. Upon irradiation of a flowing mixture of O3 (0.016 Torr) and CO (0.058 Torr), emission of CO (v < or = 6) increases with time, reaches a maximum approximately 10 micros. At the earliest applicable period (2-3 micros), the rotational distribution of CO is not Boltzmann; it may be approximately described with a bimodal distribution corresponding to temperatures approximately 8000 and approximately 500 K, with the proportion of these two components varying with the vibrational level. A short extrapolation from data in the period 2-6 micros leads to a nascent rotational temperature of approximately 10170 +/- 600 K for v = 1 and approximately 1400 +/- 40 K for v = 6, with an average rotational energy of 33 +/- 6 kJ mol(-1). Absorption by CO (v = 0) in the system interfered with population of low J levels of CO (v = 1). The observed vibrational distribution of (v = 2):(v = 3):(v = 4):(v = 5):(v = 6) = 1.00:0.64:0.51:0.32:0.16 corresponds to a vibrational temperature of 6850 +/- 750 K. An average vibrational energy of 40 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1) is derived based on the observed population of CO (2 < or = v < or = 6) and estimates of the population of CO (v = 0, 1, and 7) by extrapolation. The observed rotational distributions of CO (1 < or = v < or = 3) are consistent with results of previous experiments and trajectory calculations; data for CO (4 < or = v < or = 6) are new.     

Structure and magnetism of the tetra-copper(II)-substituted heteropolyanion [Cu(4)K(2)(H(2)O)(8)(alpha-AsW(9)O(33))(2)](8-)

The novel heteropolyanion [Cu(4)K(2)(H(2)O)(8)(alpha-AsW(9)O(33))(2)](8)(-) (1) has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and magnetic studies. Single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on [K(7)Na[Cu(4)K(2)(H(2)O)(6)(alpha-AsW(9)O(33))(2)].5.5H(2)O](n)(K(7)Na-1), which crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P42(1)m, with a = 16.705(4) A, b = 16.705(4) A, c = 13.956(5) A, and Z = 2. Interaction of the lacunary [alpha-AsW(9)O(33)](9)(-) with Cu(2+) ions in neutral, aqueous medium leads to the formation of the dimeric polyoxoanion 1 in high yield. Polyanion 1 consists of two alpha-AsW(9)O(33) units joined by a cyclic arrangement of four Cu(2+) and two K(+) ions, resulting in a structure with C(2)(v)() symmetry. All copper ions have one terminal water molecule, resulting in square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Three of the copper ions are adjacent to each other and connected via two micro(3)-oxo bridges. EPR studies on K(7)Na-1 and also on Na(9)[Cu(3)Na(3)(H(2)O)(9)(alpha-AsW(9)O(33))(2)].26H(2)O (Na(9)-2) over 2-300 K yielded g values that are consistent with a square-pyramidal coordination around the copper(II) ions in 1 and 2. No hyperfine structure was observed due to the presence of strong spin exchange, but fine structure was observed for the excited (S(T) = 3/2) state of Na(9)-2 and the ground state (S(T) = 1) of K(7)Na-1. The zero-field (D) parameters have also been determined for these states, constituting a rare case wherein one observes EPR from both the ground and the excited states. Magnetic susceptibility data show that Na(9)-2 has antiferromagnetically coupled Cu(2+) ions, with J = -1.36 +/- 0.01 cm(-)(1), while K(7)Na-1 has both ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically coupled Cu(2+) ions (J(1) = 2.78 +/- 0.13 cm(-)(1), J(2) = -1.35 +/- 0.02 cm(-)(1), and J(3) = -2.24 +/- 0.06 cm(-)(1)), and the ground-state total spins are S(T) = 1/2 in Na(9)-2 and S(T) = 1 in K(7)Na-1.     

Rotationally selected product pair correlation: F+CD4 --> DF(nu')+CD3(nu2 = 0 and 2, N)

The product pair correlation of the title reaction was measured with rotational selection for both the vibrationally ground CD3(nu = 0) and umbrella-excited CD3(nu2 = 2) products. A striking linear relationship was found between the rotational energy of the selected CD3 product and the correlated kinetic energy release (or the average vibrational energy of the DF coproduct). Such a linearly correlated (or anticorrelated) dependence appears to be stronger for CD3(nu2 = 2,N) than for CD3(nu = 0,N). The mechanistic implication of the observation is that the rotational motion N of the CD3 product tends to lie antiparallel to the orbital angular momentum l' of the two departing products. The dependency on the K quantum number--the projection of N on the top axis--is, on the other hand, less significant yet noticeable.     

Time-dependent quantum mechanical wave packet study of the He+H(2) (+)(v,j)-->HeH(+)+H reaction

A detailed three-dimensional time-dependent quantum dynamical study of the He+H(2) (+)(v=0-3,j=0)-->HeH(+)+H reaction is reported for different vibrational v states of H(2) (+) in its ground rotational (j=0) state over a range of translational E(trans) energies on an accurate ab initio potential energy surface published by Palmieri et al. Plots of reaction probability as a function of total energy E reveal a large number of oscillations indicating the presence of a number of reactive scattering resonances. When averaged over total angular momentum J, some of the oscillations survive, indicating that they may be amenable to experimental observation. A comparison of our present results with our earlier results on the McLaughlin-Thompson-Joseph-Sathyamurthy surface and the experimental results from different research groups reveal a good deal of agreement as well as some discrepancies between theory and experiment at the level of state-selected gas phase dynamics.     

Competitive partitioning of rotational energy in gas ensemble equilibration

A wide-ranging computational study of equilibration in binary mixtures of diatomic gases reveals the existence of competition between the constituent species for the orbital angular momentum and energy available on collision with the bath gas. The ensembles consist of a bath gas AB(v;j), and a highly excited minor component CD(v';j'), present in the ratio AB:CD = 10:1. Each ensemble contains 8000 molecules. Rotational temperatures (T(r)) are found to differ widely at equilibration with T(r)(AB)/T(r)(CD) varying from 2.74 to 0.92, indicating unequal partitioning of rotational energy and angular momentum between the two species. Unusually, low values of T(r) are found generally to be associated with diatomics of low reduced mass. To test effects of the equi-partition theorem on low T(r) we undertook calculations on HF(6;4) in N(2)(0;10) over the range 100-2000 K. No significant change in T(r)(N2)/T(r)(HF) was found. Two potential sources of rotational inequality are examined in detail. The first is possible asymmetry of -Δj and +Δj probabilities for molecules in mid- to high j states resulting from the quadratic dependence of rotational energy on j. The second is the efficiency of conversion of orbital angular momentum, generated on collision with bath gas molecules, into molecular rotation. Comparison of these two possible effects with computed T(r)(AB)/T(r)(CD) shows the efficiency factor to be an excellent predictor of partitioning between the two species. Our finding that T(r) values for molecules such as HF and OH are considerably lower than other modal temperatures suggests that the determination of gas ensemble temperatures from Boltzmann fits to rotational distributions of diatomics of low reduced mass may require a degree of caution.     

Dynamics of (H(-), H(2)) collisions: a time-dependent quantum mechanical investigation on a new ab initio potential energy surface

A global analytical potential energy surface for the ground state of H(3)(-) has been constructed by fitting an analytic function to the ab initio potential energy values computed using coupled cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] method and Dunning's augmented correlation consistent polarized valence triple zeta basis set. Using this potential energy surface, time-dependent quantum mechanical wave packet calculations were carried out to calculate the reaction probabilities (P(R)) for the exchange reaction H(-)+H(2)(v, j)-->H(2)+H(-), for different initial vibrational (v) and rotational (j) states of H(2), for total angular momentum equal to zero. With increase in v, the number of oscillations in the P(R)(E) plot increases and the oscillations become more pronounced. While P(R) increases with increase in rotational excitation from j=0 to 1, it decreases with further increase in j to 2 over a wide range of energies. In addition, rotational excitation quenches the oscillations in P(R)(E) plots.     

Quantum-state resolved reaction dynamics at the gas-liquid interface: direct absorption detection of HF(v,J) product from F(2P)+squalane

Exothermic reactive scattering of F atoms at the gas-liquid interface of a liquid hydrocarbon (squalane) surface has been studied under single collision conditions by shot noise limited high-resolution infrared absorption on the nascent HF(v,J) product. The nascent HF(v,J) vibrational distributions are inverted, indicating insufficient time for complete vibrational energy transfer into the surface liquid. The HF(v=2,J) rotational distributions are well fit with a two temperature Boltzmann analysis, with a near room temperature component (T(TD) approximately equal to 290 K) and a second much hotter scattering component (T(HDS) approximately equal to 1040 K). These data provide quantum state level support for microscopic branching in the atom abstraction dynamics corresponding to escape of nascent HF from the liquid surface on time scales both slow and fast with respect to rotational relaxation.     

Nearside-farside and local angular momentum analyses of time-independent scattering amplitudes for the H + D2 (vi = 0, ji = 0) --> HD (vf = 3, jf = 0) + D reaction

The scattering dynamics of the state-to-state reaction H + D2 (v(i) = 0, j(i) = 0, m(i) = 0) --> HD (v(f) = 3, j(f) = 0, m(f) = 0) + D is investigated, where vi, ji, mi and vf, jf, mf are initial and final vibrational, rotational, and helicity quantum numbers, respectively. We use accurate quantum scattering matrix elements for total energies in the range 1.52-2.50 eV (calculated stepwise in 0.01 eV increments). The theoretical tools used are a nearside-farside (NF) analysis of the partial wave series (PWS) for the scattering amplitude, together with NF local angular momentum (LAM) theory. We find that the backward scattering, which is the energy-domain analog of the time-direct reaction mechanism, is N dominated, whereas the forward scattering (time-delayed analog) is a result of NF interference between the more slowly varying N and F subamplitudes. The LAM analysis reveals the existence of a "trench-ridge" structure. We also resum the PWS up to three times prior to making the NF decomposition. We show that such resummations usually provide an improved physical interpretation of the NF differential cross sections (DCSs) and NF LAMs. We analyze two resummed scattering amplitudes in more detail, where particular values of the resummation parameters give rise to unexpected unphysical behavior in the N and F DCSs over a small angular range. We analyze the cause of this unphysical behavior and describe viable workarounds to the problem. The energy-domain calculations in this paper complement the time-domain results reported earlier by Monks, P. D. D.; Connor, J. N. L.; Althorpe, S. C. J. Phys. Chem. A 2006, 110, 741.
