H+O2(n0, j0)→HO+O及C+H2(n0, j0)→CH+H体系选态反应截面的过渡态理论计算

本文用微正则过渡态理论计算了H+O_2(n_0,j_0)→HO+O和C+H_2(n_0, j_0)→CH+H在ab initio势能面上的选态反应截面σ_(n_0,j_0); E.分析了势能面性质对反应截面的影响。计算结果表明, 在指定反应物分子的振动态n_0、转动态j_0时, 两个反应体系的反应截面随相对平动能的增加先是增加后是减小(j_0=1, n_0=0除外); 在给定相对平动能和反应物分子的转动态j_0时, 随反应物分子的振动量子数n_0的增加, 两个体系的选态反应截面均有较显著的增加, 在指定相对平动能和反应物分子的振动态n_0时, H+O_2体系的选态反应截面随j_0的变化较为复杂, 而C+H_2体系则比较简单(j_0=1除外)。对于H+O_2反应体系, 本文得到的反应截面与实验结果及准经典轨迹理论的计算结果符合得很好。     

Electron screening in low energy scattering of muonic hydrogen on hydrogen atoms

Electron screening corrections to the cross sections for low energy scattering of muonic hydrogen on hydrogen atoms are calculated. It is shown that the presence of the electron influences considerably the elastic cross sections at collision energies below 1 eV. This influence is relatively small for the spin-flip and isotopic exchange processes.

Sites of metabolic substitution: investigating metabolite structures utilising ion mobility and molecular modelling

Drug metabolism is an integral part of the drug development and drug discovery process. It is required to validate the toxicity of metabolites in support of safety testing and in particular provide information on the potential to form pharmacologically active or toxic metabolites. The current methodologies of choice for metabolite structural elucidation are liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. There are, in certain cases, examples of metabolites whose sites of metabolism cannot be unequivocally identified by MS/MS alone. Utilising commercially available molecular dynamics packages and known quantum chemistry basis sets, an ensemble of lowest energy structures were generated for a group of aromatic hydroxylated metabolites of the model compound ondansetron. Theoretical collision cross–sections were calculated for each structure. Travelling‐wave ion mobility (IMS) measurements were also performed on the compounds, thus enabling experimentally derived collision cross‐sections to be calculated. A comparison of the theoretical and experimentally derived collision cross‐sections were utilised for the accurate assignment of isomeric drug metabolites. The UPLC/IMS‐MS method, described herein, demonstrates the ability to measure reproducibly by ion mobility, metabolite structural isomers, which differ in collision cross‐section, both theoretical and experimentally derived, by less than 1 Ų. This application has the potential to supplement and/or complement current methods of metabolite structural characterisation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Molecular beam scattering of NO+Ne: a joint theoretical and experimental study

The collision dynamics of the NO+Ne system is investigated in a molecular beam scattering experiment at a collision energy of 1055 cm(-1). Employing resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization of NO, we measured state-resolved integral and differential cross sections for the excitation to various levels of both spin-orbit manifolds. The dependence of the scattered intensity on the laser polarization is used to extract differential quadrupole moments for the collision induced angular momentum alignment. The set of cross section data is compared with results of a full quantum mechanical close coupling calculation using the set of ab initio potential energy surfaces of Alexander et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 114, 5588 (2001)]. In previous work, it was found that the positions and rotational substructures for the lowest bend-stretch vibrational states derived from these surfaces agree very well with the observed spectrum of the NO-Ne complex. For the same potential, we find that the calculated cross sections show a less satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. While the overall Jf dependence and magnitude of the integral and differential cross sections are in good agreement, noticeable discrepancies exist for the angle dependence of the differential cross sections. In general, the calculated rotational rainbow structures are shifted towards larger scattering angles indicating that the anisotropy of the potential is overestimated in the fit to the ab initio points or in the ab initio calculation itself. For most states, we find the measured alignment moments to be in excellent agreement with the results of the calculation as well as with predictions of sudden models. Significant deviations from the sudden models are observed only for those fine-structure changing collisions which are dominated by forward scattering. Results of the full quantum calculation confirm the deviations for these states.     

Influence of collision energy and reagent rotation on the cross sections and product polarizations of the reaction F + HCl

Quasiclassical trajectory calculations have been carried out for the F+HCl reaction in three dimensions on a recent DHSN PES of the ground 1(2)A' electronic state [M. P. Deskevich, M. Y. Hayes, K. Takahashi, R. T. Skodje, and D. J. Nesbitt, J. Chem. Phys. 124, 224303 (2006)]. The effects of the collision energy and the reagent initial rotational excitation on the cross sections and product polarization are studied for the v = 0 and j ≤ 10 states of HCl over a wide collision energy range. It has been found that either the collision energy or the HCl rotational excitation increase remarkably reaction cross sections. The QCT-calculated integral cross sections are in good agreement with previous QM results. A detailed study on product polarization for the title reaction is also performed. The calculated results show that the product rotational angular momentum j' is not only aligned, but also oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane. The orientation of the HF product rotational angular momentum vector j' depends very sensitively on the collision energy and also affected by the reagent rotation. The theoretical findings and especially the roles of the collision energy and initial rotational momentum on the product polarization are discussed and reasonably explained by the HLH mass combination, the property of the PES, as well as the reactive mechanism.     

Influence of collision energy and reagent vibrational excitation on the dynamics of the reaction H + LiH

We present a detailed quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) study of the dynamics corresponding to the reaction H + LiH proceeding via depletion and H‐exchange paths on a new potential energy surface of the electronic ground state. The effects of collision energy and reagent initial vibrational excitation on the reaction probability and cross sections are studied over a wide range of collision energies. The QCT‐calculated reaction probability and cross sections are in good agreement with previous time‐dependent wave packet results. More importantly, we found that the vibrational excitation of LiH molecule inhibits the LiH depletion reaction, whereas it promotes the H‐exchange reaction. In addition, the differential cross sections calculated for the depletion reaction at different collision energies and excitation states indicate a strong forward scattering of the product molecule H₂. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Argon plasma transport properties at reduced pressures

Argon plasma transport properties at low pressures (0.01 atm) are calculated using a modified Debve length suggested by T. Kihara et al. Electrons and heavy species are treated as two different gases, and the method of calculation is based on the simplified theory (or transport properties developed by R. S. Devoto. A generalized Saha equation is used to calculate the species composition, and experimental data by Y. Itikawa for momentum transfer cross sections are adapted for the evaluation of electron-atom collision cross sections.     

Time-dependent wave packet theory for state-to-state differential cross sections of four-atom reactions in full dimensions: application to the HD + OH → H2O + D reaction

Time-dependent wave packet method has been developed to calculate differential cross section for four-atom reactions in full dimension, utilizing an improved version of reactant-product-decoupling scheme. Differential cross sections for the title reaction were calculated for collision energy up to 0.4 eV. It is found that the differential cross sections for the reaction are all peaked in the backward direction. The majority of H(2)O is produced in the first stretch excited state, with a large fraction of available energy for the reaction going into H(2)O internal motion. As compared in a previous report by Xiao et al. [Science 333, 440 (2011)], the differential cross section at E(c) = 0.3 eV and the differential cross section at the backward direction as a function of collision energy agree with experiment very well, indicating it is possible now to calculate complete dynamical information for some simple four-atom reactions, as have been done for three-atom reactions in the past decades.     

Transport properties of boron and aluminum

Transport cross sections and collision integrals are tabulated for a wide range of energies and temperatures for the interactions B–B and Al–Al. For aluminum, a semiclassical approximation was used to determine the scattering phase shifts from which the transport cross sections were calculated. For boron, the smaller reduced mass and the deep potential wells required the phase shifts at lower energies to be determined from a numerical solution of the time-independent Schroedinger equation; the semiclassical approximation was used at higher energies where the two methods agree. The variations of the collision integrals for viscosity and diffusion are presented graphically as a function of temperature. The results are applied to estimate the transport properties of gallium.

Collisional depolarization of 2P states of alkalies on weak spin—orbital coupling

Depolarization, relaxation and intramultiplet mixing cross sections for Na^*(²P) in collision with He are calculated using the matching approximation; the distortion of relative motion of partners in the fields of ²Σ and ²Π terms are taken into account. The theory provides an interpretation of inelastic events which is consistent both with experimental data on cross sections and the general pattern of adiabatic potentials.     

Collision dynamics of three interacting atoms: foundation of the spectator-stripping model

The atom - diatom reaction A + BC → AB + C is described within the Faddeev formalism using sum of spin- dependent pair potentials. This provides a rigorous basis for the spectator-stripping model in the limit of high collision energies. Reaction cross sections for specific vibration - rotation states of AB are calculated for T + H₂ in the 10 eV region of collision energies.     

Stereodynamics of the F + HD(v = 0, j = 1) reaction: direct vs. resonant mechanisms

The stereodynamics and mechanism of the F + HD(v = 0, j = 1) → HF (DF) + D (H) reactions have been thoroughly analysed at collision energies in the 0-160 meV range. Specifically, this study is focused on (i) the comparison between the stereodynamics of the collisions leading to HF and DF formation, and (ii) the stereodynamical fingerprints of the resonance that occurs at low collision energies in the HF channel and whose manifestation in the total cross section is greatly diminished for initial j > 0. While previous studies were limited to the analysis of integral cross sections (ICS), differential cross sections (DCS) and reaction probabilities, in the present work we have included the analysis of vectorial quantities such as the direction of the initial rotational angular momentum and internuclear axis, and their effect on reactivity. In particular, polarisation parameters (PP) and polarisation dependent differential cross sections (PDDCS), quantities that describe how the intrinsic HD rotational angular momentum and molecular axis polarisations contribute to reaction, are calculated and examined. The evolution of the PPs with the collision energy differs markedly between the two reaction channels. For the DF channel, the PP values are small and change very little in the energy range in which DF formation is appreciable. In contrast, rapid fluctuations in the magnitude and sign of the PPs are observed in the HF channel at low collision energies in and around the resonance. As the collision energy increases, direct (non-resonant) scattering prevails, and the various quantities are reasonably well accounted for by the QCT calculations, as in the case of the DF channel. The intrinsic directional information has been used to access the extent of control that can be achieved through polarisation of the HD molecule prior to collision. It was found that the same extrinsic preparation leads to very different outcomes on the HF channel DCS when the collision energy is close to the resonance. It is also shown that polarisation of the HD internuclear axis along the initial relative velocity enhances the effect of the resonance and allows its clear identification. Finally, the effect of different extrinsic preparations on the angle-velocity DCS is found to be strong, thus allowing considerable control of product angular distributions.     

Quantum dynamics study of Li + HF reaction

We report rigorous quantum dynamics studies of the Li + HF reaction using the time-dependent wavepacket approach. The dynamics study is carried out on a recent ab initio potential energy surface, and state-selected reaction probabilities and cross sections are calculated up to 0.4 eV of collision energy. Many long-lived resonances (as long as 10 ps) at low collision energies (below 0.1 eV) are uncovered from the dynamics calculation. These long-lived resonances play a dominant role in the title reaction at low collision energies (below 0.1 eV). At higher energies, the direct reaction process becomes very important. The reaction probabilities from even rotational states exhibit a different energy dependence than those from odd rotational states. Our calculated integral cross section exhibits a broad maximum near the collision energy of 0.26 eV with small oscillations superimposed on the broad envelope which is reminiscent of the underlying resonance structures in reaction probabilities. The energy dependence of the present CS cross section is qualitatively different from the simple J-shifting approximation, in which a monotonic increase of cross section with collision energy was obtained.

Forbidden Raman bands of Sf6: collision induced Raman scattering

The frequencies, relative scattering cross sections and depolarizations ratios of forbidden fundamental and overtone Raman bands have been measured for the first time in the gaseous state. The absolute scattering cross sections of the allowed bands of gaseous SF₆ are given as well. The characteristic density dependence of the scattering cross sections of the forbidden fundamentals is explained in terms of collision induced Raman scattering. There is evidence for frame distortion of the molecules during the collision.
