F+H2→HF+H反应的全量子态分辨的散射动力学研究

A crossed molecular beams, state-to-state scattering study was carried out on the F+H2→HF+H reaction at the collision energy of 5.02 kJ/mol, using the highly sensitive H atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight method. All the peaks in the TOF spectra can be clearly assigned to the ro-vibrational structures of the HF product. The forward scattering of the HF product at v′=3 has been observed. The small forward scattering of the HF product at v′=2 has also been detected. Detailed theoretical analysis is required in order to fully understand the dynamical origin of these forward scattering products at this high collision energy.

关于反应分子数定义的讨论

There are two different views on the definition of reaction molecularity in physical chemistry textbooks and related literatures so far. We give a deep discussion about this conception herein. Starting with the development of chemical kinetics and the definition of elementary reaction and state-state reaction, we clarify that elementary reaction and state-state reaction are the conceptions belonging to macro-and micro-systems, respectively, and reaction molecularity is also belonging to micro-conception. Based on this conclusion, we think that the more reasonable definition of reaction molecularity should be "the number of chemical particles that take part in a state-state reaction (or an elementary chemi-physical reaction) as a reactant".     

碰撞参量和碰撞能量对化学反应的影响

通过交叉分子束与高分辨、高稳定的激光光谱方法研究运动学限制的态－态反应：Ba(^1So) HI(X1∑^ ,υ,J）→BaI(X2∑^ ,υ,J） H（^2S1/2）,并测得在Ba与HI的相对运动速度从850到1300m/s范围内产物BaI(υ=0,1,2)振动态的转动分布,得到碰撞参量对平动速度的依赖关系。如对BaI(υ=0）振动态,碰撞参量极大值从0.460变为0.390nm,碰撞参量的几率函数为截去头的高斯函数,较小的碰撞参量产生较高振动态和较低的转动态。叟相对运动速度为940m/s时,BaI（υ＝0,1,2）的碰撞参量极大值分别为0.460,0.453和0.446nm。该态－态反应截面随着碰撞能量的变化而变化。当BaI与HI的相对运动速度从850m/s变化到1300m/s时,反应截面先增大,达到极大值后逐步减小,在相对运动速度为1100m/s时,反应截面有一极大值,在较低相对运动速度时反应截面的变化趋势展现了反应有一能垒。     

Some Attempts to Employ the Singlet Oxygen Generated from H2O2

Plane wave packet formulation of atom-plus-diatom quantum reactive scattering

We recently interpreted several reactive scattering experiments using a plane wave packet (PWP) formulation of quantum scattering theory [see, e.g., S. C. Althorpe, F. Fernandez-Alonso, B. D. Bean, J. D. Ayers, A. E. Pomerantz, R. N. Zare, and E. Wrede, Nature (London) 416, 67 (2002)]. This paper presents the first derivation of this formulation for atom-plus-diatom reactive scattering, and explains its relation to conventional time-independent reactive scattering. We generalize recent results for spherical-particle scattering [S. C. Althorpe, Phys. Rev. A 69, 042702 (2004)] to atom-rigid-rotor scattering in the space-fixed frame, atom-rigid-rotor scattering in the body-fixed frame, and finally A+BC rearrangement scattering. The reactive scattering is initiated by a plane wave packet, describing the A+BC reagents in center-of-mass scattering coordinates, and is detected by projecting onto a series of AC+B (or AB+C) plane wave "probe" packets. The plane wave packets are localized at the closest distance from the scattering center at which the interaction potential can be neglected. The time evolution of the initial plane wave packet provides a clear visualization of the scattering into space of the reaction products. The projection onto the probe packets yields the time-independent, state-to-state scattering amplitude, and hence the differential cross section. We explain how best to implement the PWP approach in a numerical computation, and illustrate this with a detailed application to the H+D2 reaction.     

State-to-state quantum reactive scattering for four-atom chemical reactions: differential cross section for the H+H2O-->H2+OH abstraction reaction

The time-dependent wave packet method was extended to calculate the state-to-state differential cross section for the title four-atom abstraction reaction with H2O in the ground rovibrational state. One spectator OH bond length was fixed in the study, but the remaining five degrees of freedom were treated exactly. It was found that (a) the differential cross section changes from being strongly backward peaked at low collision energy to sideward scattering at E = 1.4 eV, and (b) the rotational state-resolved differential cross section for H2 differs substantially from that for OH.     

Differential and integral cross sections of the N(2D)+H2-->NH+H reaction from exact quantum and quasi-classical trajectory calculations

Exact quantum mechanical state-to-state differential and integral cross sections and their energy dependence have been calculated on an accurate NH2 potential energy surface (PES), using a newly proposed Chebyshev wave packet method. The NH product is found to have a monotonically decaying vibrational distribution and an inverted rotational distribution. The product angular distributions peak in both forward and backward directions, but with a backward bias. This backward bias is more pronounced than that observed previously on a less accurate PES. Both the differential and integral cross sections oscillate mildly with collision energy, indicating the dominance of short-lived resonances. The quantum mechanical results are compared with those obtained from quasi-classical trajectories. The agreement is generally reasonable and the discrepancies can be attributed to the neglect of quantum effects such as tunneling. Detailed analysis of the trajectories revealed that the backward bias in the differential cross section stems overwhelmingly from the fast insertion component of the reaction, augmented with some flux from the abstraction channel, particularly at high collision energies.     

Reduced dimensionality quantum scattering calculations on the F + CH(4) --> FH + CH(3) reaction

The existence of recently observed scattering resonances in the hydrogen abstraction reaction F + CH4 --> FH + CH3 was investigated using the reduced dimensionality rotating line umbrella (RLU) quantum scattering model and employing an analytical potential energy surface, PES-2006, recently developed by our group. The calculations were performed in hyperspherical coordinates. The wells found in the hyperspherical adiabats, the oscillatory pattern in the cumulative and state-to-state reaction probabilities, the forward/backward predominance in the differential cross section at a collision energy of 1.8 kcal mol(-1), and the dramatic change of the scattering angle with energy are related to scattering resonances, and they are assigned to a quasi-bound complex on the vibrationally adiabatic ground-state potential.     

Probing state-to-state reaction dynamics using H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight spectroscopy

In the last decade or so, the H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight (HRTOF) technique has made a significant impact in the study of state-to-state reaction dynamics, and especially in the study of transition state dynamics of elementary chemical reactions and quantum state resolved dynamics of molecular photodissociation of important molecules. In this perspective, we will discuss mainly the state-to-state dynamics of three important elementary reactions: H + H(2), O((1)D) + H(2) and F + H(2) that have been studied in our laboratory in recent years using the HRTOF method. In addition, we will also mention briefly the experimental results of other reactive systems. In the end, we will also present a brief research outlook in the study of molecular reaction dynamics using this powerful experimental method.     

A crossed-beam study of the F+HD-->HF+D reaction: the resonance-mediated channel

This is the last report of our extensive studies on the title reaction. Presented here are the state-to-state differential cross section determinations at 11 collision energies, ranging from 1.30 to 4.53 kcal/mol. Together with previously reported results at six lower energies (0.4-1.18 kcal/mol), this perhaps represents one of the most comprehensive set of data from a single investigation for any chemical reaction. The information contents of this set of data are examined in detail, from which the dynamical consequences of reactive resonances are elucidated. Qualitative interpretations of some of the major findings are proposed. Observations that need further theoretical investigations for better physical understanding are pointed out.     

A state-to-state dynamical study of the Br + H(2) reaction: comparison of quantum and classical trajectory results

We present a detailed theoretical investigation of the dynamics corresponding to the strongly endothermic Br + H(2) (v = 0-1, j = 0) → H + HBr reaction in the 0.85 to 1.9 eV total energy range. State-averaged and state-to-state results obtained through time-independent wave packet (TIWP) and time-independent quantum mechanical (TIQM) calculations and quasiclassical trajectories (QCT) are compared and analyzed. The agreement in the results obtained with both quantum mechanical results is very good overall. However, although QCT calculations reproduce the general features, their agreement with the QM results is sometimes only qualitative. The analysis of the mechanism based on state-averaged results turns out to be deceptive and conveys an oversimplified picture of the reaction consistent with a direct-rebound mechanism. Consideration of state-to-state processes, in contrast, unveils the existence of multiple mechanisms that give rise to a succession of maxima in the differential cross section (DCS). Such mechanisms correlate with different sets of partial waves and display similar collision times when analyzed through the time-dependent DCS.     

Quantum wave-packet calculation of reaction probabilities, cross sections, and rate constants for Li + H2+ reaction

The Li + H2+(upsilon,j) --> LiH(upsilon',j') + H+ reactive scattering has been studied by using quantum real wave-packet method. The state-to-state and state-to-all reaction probabilities for the entitled collision have been calculated. The probabilities show a smooth variation for all initial rotational quantum states. The J-shifting approximation has been employed to estimate the integral cross sections and thermal rate constants have been calculated.
