Abstract
The hydrogen abstraction reaction of OH + CH3OH plays a great role in combustion and atmospheric and interstellar chemistry and has been extensively studied theoretically and experimentally. Theoretically, the numerical gradients with respect to the Cartesian coordinates of atoms in molecular simulations on our recent potential energy surface (PES) for the title reaction trained using the permutationally invariant polynomial neural network (PIP-NN) approach hinder the extensive calculation because of the unaffordable computation cost. To address this issue, we in this work report a new full-dimensional accurate analytical PES for the title reaction using the fundamental invariant neural network (FI-NN) approach based on 140,192 points of the quality UCCSD(T)-F12a/AVTZ. Besides, the spin-orbit (SO) corrections of OH in the entrance channel were determined at the level of complete active space self-consistent field with the AVTZ basis set. As a compromise between computational cost and efficiency, the Δ-machine learning approach was employed to construct the SO-corrected PES. Based on this new FI-NN PES with analytical forces, thermal rate coefficients and various dynamic properties, including the integral cross sections, the differential cross sections, and the product energy partitioning, were determined by running a total of 5.5 million trajectories. The use of analytical gradients of the FI-NN PES accelerated simulations and about 99% of computation cost was saved, compared to that for the PIP-NN PES with numerical gradients. Such a significant acceleration is achieved mainly by replacing PIPs with FIs.

[PMID: 38807530 PMCID: PMC11163425 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpca.4c02042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
We report a full-dimensional ab initio analytical potential energy surface (PES), which accurately describes the HCl + C2H5 multichannel reaction. The new PES is developed by iteratively adding selected configurations along HCl + C2H5 quasi-classical trajectories (QCTs), thereby improving our previous Cl(2P3/2) + C2H6 PES using the Robosurfer program package. QCT simulations for the H'Cl + C2H5 reaction reveal hydrogen-abstraction, chlorine-abstraction, and hydrogen-exchange channels leading to Cl + C2H5H', H' + C2H5Cl, and HCl + C2H4H', respectively. Hydrogen abstraction dominates in the collision energy (Ecoll) range of 1-80 kcal/mol and proceeds with indirect isotropic scattering at low Ecoll and forward-scattered direct stripping at high Ecoll. Chlorine abstraction opens around 40 kcal/mol collision energy and becomes competitive with hydrogen abstraction at Ecoll = 80 kcal/mol. A restricted opening of the cone of acceptance in the Cl-abstraction reaction is found to result in the preference for a backward-scattering direct-rebound mechanism at all energies studied. Initial attack-angle distributions show mainly side-on collision preference of C2H5 for both abstraction reactions, and in the case of the HCl reactant, H/Cl-side preference for the H/Cl abstraction. For hydrogen abstraction, the collision energy transfer into the product translational and internal energy is almost equally significant, whereas in the case of chlorine abstraction, most of the available energy goes into the internal degrees of freedom. Hydrogen exchange is a minor channel with nearly constant reactivity in the Ecoll range of 10-80 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Controlling the outcome of chemical reactions by exciting specific vibrational and/or rotational modes of the reactants is one of the major goals of modern reaction dynamics studies. In the present Perspective, we focus on first-principles vibrational and rotational mode-specific dynamics computations on reactions of neutral and anionic systems beyond six atoms such as X + C2H6 [X = F, Cl, OH], HX + C2H5 [X = Br, I], OH- + CH3I, and F- + CH3CH2Cl. The dynamics simulations utilize high-level ab initio analytical potential energy surfaces and the quasi-classical trajectory method. Besides initial state specificity and the validity of the Polanyi rules, mode-specific vibrational-state assignment for polyatomic product species using normal-mode analysis and Gaussian binning is also discussed and compared with experiment.

Abstract
Experimental characterization of the transition state poses a significant challenge due to its fleeting nature. Negative ion photodetachment offers a unique tool for probing transition states and their vicinity. However, this approach is usually limited to Franck-Condon regions. For example, high-lying Feshbach resonances with an excited HF stretching mode (vHF = 2-4) were recently identified in the transition-state region of the F + NH3 → HF + NH2 reaction through photo-detaching FNH3- anions, but the direct photodetachment failed to observe the lower-lying vHF = 0,1 resonances and bound states due apparently to negligible Franck-Condon factors. Indeed, these weak transitions can be resonantly enhanced via a dipole-bound state (DBS) formed between an electron and the polar FNH3 species. In this study, we unveil a series of Feshbach resonances and bound states along the F + NH3 reaction path via a DBS by combining high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy with high-level quantum dynamical computations. This study presents an approach for probing the activated complex in a reaction by negative ion photodetachment through a DBS.

Abstract
SO2 (Sulfur dioxide) is the major precursor to the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), contributing to acid rain and atmospheric aerosols. Sulfuric acid formed from SO2 generates light-reflecting sulfate aerosol particles in the atmosphere. This property has prompted recent geoengineering proposals to inject sulfuric acid or its precursors into the Earth's atmosphere to increase the planetary albedo to counteract global warming. SO2 oxidation in the atmosphere by the hydroxyl radical HO to form HOSO2 is a key rate-limiting step in the mechanism for forming acid rain. However, the dynamics of the HO + SO2 → HOSO2 reaction and its slow rate in the atmosphere are poorly understood to date. Herein, we use photoelectron spectroscopy of cryogenically cooled HOSO2- anion to access the neutral HOSO2 radical near the transition state of the HO + SO2 reaction. Spectroscopic and dynamic calculations are conducted on the first ab initio-based full-dimensional potential energy surface to interpret the photoelectron spectra of HOSO2- and to probe the dynamics of the HO + SO2 reaction. In addition to the finding of a unique pre-reaction complex (HO⋯SO2) directly connected to the transition state, dynamic calculations reveal that the accessible phase space for the HO + SO2 → HOSO2 reaction is extremely narrow, forming a key reaction bottleneck and slowing the reaction rate in the atmosphere, despite the low reaction barrier. This study underlines the importance of understanding the full multidimensional potential energy surface to elucidate the dynamics of complex bimolecular reactions involving polyatomic reactants.

Abstract
Electrocyclic reactions are characterized by the concerted formation and cleavage of both σ and π bonds through a cyclic structure. This structure is known as a pericyclic transition state for thermal reactions and a pericyclic minimum in the excited state for photochemical reactions. However, the structure of the pericyclic geometry has yet to be observed experimentally. We use a combination of ultrafast electron diffraction and excited state wavepacket simulations to image structural dynamics through the pericyclic minimum of a photochemical electrocyclic ring-opening reaction in the molecule α-terpinene. The structural motion into the pericyclic minimum is dominated by rehybridization of two carbon atoms, which is required for the transformation from two to three conjugated π bonds. The σ bond dissociation largely happens after internal conversion from the pericyclic minimum to the electronic ground state. These findings may be transferrable to electrocyclic reactions in general.

Abstract
Slow electron velocity-map imaging of cryogenically cooled anions (cryo-SEVI) is a high-resolution variant of anion photoelectron spectroscopy that has been applied with considerable success over the years to the study of radicals, size-selected clusters, and transition states for unimolecular and bimolecular reactions. Cryo-SEVI retains the versatility of conventional anion photoelectron spectroscopy while offering sub-meV resolution, thereby enabling the resolution of vibrational structure in the photoelectron spectra of complex anions. This Feature Article describes recent experiments in our laboratory using cryo-SEVI, including a new research direction in which anions are vibrationally pre-excited with an infrared laser pulse prior to photodetachment.

Abstract
The transition state of a chemical reaction is a dividing surface on the reaction potential energy surface (PES) between reactants and products and is thus of fundamental interest in understanding chemical reactivity. The transient nature of the transition state presents challenges to its experimental characterization. Transition-state spectroscopy experiments based on negative-ion photodetachment can provide a direct probe of this region of the PES, revealing the detailed vibrational structure associated with the transition state. Here we study the F + NH3 → HF + NH2 reaction using slow photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy of cryogenically cooled FNH3- anions. Reduced-dimensionality quantum dynamical simulations performed on a global PES show excellent agreement with the experimental results, enabling the assignment of spectral structure. Our combined experimental-theoretical study reveals a manifold of vibrational Feshbach resonances in the product well of the F + NH3 PES. At higher energies, the spectra identify features attributed to resonances localized across the transition state and into the reactant complex that may impact the bimolecular reaction dynamics.

Abstract
The accurate incorporation of nuclear quantum effects in large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations remains a significant challenge. Recently, we combined constrained nuclear-electronic orbital (CNEO) theory with classical MD and obtained a new approach (CNEO-MD) that can accurately and efficiently incorporate nuclear quantum effects into classical simulations. In this Letter, we provide the theoretical foundation for CNEO-MD by developing an alternative formulation of the equations of motion for MD. In this new formulation, the expectation values of quantum nuclear positions evolve classically on an effective energy surface that is obtained from a constrained energy minimization procedure when solving for the quantum nuclear wave function, thus enabling the incorporation of nuclear quantum effects in classical MD simulations. For comparison with other existing approaches, we examined a series of model systems and found that this new MD approach is significantly more accurate than the conventional way of performing classical MD and generally outperforms centroid MD and ring-polymer MD in describing vibrations in these model systems.

Abstract
We provide compelling experimental and theoretical evidence for the transition state nature of the cyclopropyl cation. Synchrotron photoionization spectroscopy employing coincidence techniques together with a novel simulation based on high-accuracy ab initio calculations reveal that the cation is unstable via its allowed disrotatory ring-opening path. The ring strains of the cation and the radical are similar, but both ring opening paths for the radical are forbidden when the full electronic symmetries are considered. These findings are discussed in light of the early predictions by Longuet-Higgins alongside Woodward and Hoffman; we also propose a simple phase space explanation for the appearance of the cyclopropyl photoionization spectrum. The results of this work allow the refinement of the cyclopropane C-H bond dissociation energy, in addition to the cyclopropyl radical and cation cyclization energies, via the Active Thermochemical Tables approach.

Abstract
The observation of molecular isomerization dynamics is a long-standing goal in physical chemistry. The loosely bound electron in a dipole-bound state (DBS) can be a messenger for probing the isomerization of the neutral core. Here we study the isomerization dynamics of the salt dimer (NaCl)2 from linear to rhombic via a DBS using cryogenic photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with ab initio calculations. Although the energy level of the DBS is below the electron affinity of the linear (NaCl)2, (NaCl)2- in its DBS can autodetach due to the linear-to-rhombic isomerization. (NaCl)2- in the ground DBS has a relatively long lifetime of a few nanoseconds due to the quantum tunneling through a potential barrier during the transformation from linear to rhombic. In contrast, the vibrationally excited DBS has a much shorter lifetime on the order of picoseconds. The energy distribution of autodetachment electrons has an unexpected characteristic of the thermionic emission.

This electronic structure study reveals four exothermic and two endothermic reaction pathways of the F + CH3NH2 system: the barrierless hydrogen abstraction from the methyl/amino group (HF + CH2NH2/CH3NH), amino/methyl substitution (NH2 + CH3F and CH3 + NH2F) and hydrogen substitution from the two functional groups (H + CH2FNH2/CH3NHF). The benchmark classical and adiabatic energies are obtained using a high-accuracy composite ab initio approach, where the gold-standard explicitly-correlated coupled cluster method (CCSD(T)-F12b) is applied with the correlation-consistent polarized valence quintuple-zeta F12 basis set (cc-pV5Z-F12) and further additive energy contributions. Considering indispensable post-(T) correlation, core correlation, scalar relativistic, spin-orbit and harmonic zero-point energy corrections, the obtained global minimum of the potential energy surface is the post-reaction CH2NH2⋯HF complex in the product channel. Although each substitution pathway has a high barrier, the energies of amino-substitution and methyl-hydrogen-substitution products are below the energy of the reactants, as well as the submerged-barrier hydrogen-abstraction pathways.

Abstract
The bimolecular reaction between OH− and CH3F is not just a prototypical SN2 process but also has three other product channels. Here, we develop an accurate full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) based on 191 193 points calculated at the level CCSD(T)-F12a/aug-cc-pVTZ. A detailed dynamics and mechanism analysis were carried out on this PES by using the quasi-classical trajectory approach. It is verified that the trajectories do not follow the minimum energy path (MEP) but directly dissociate to F− and CH3OH. In addition, a new transition state for proton exchange and a new product complex CH2F−‧‧‧H2O for proton abstraction were discovered. The trajectories avoid the transition state or this complex, instead dissociate to H2O and CH2F− directly through the ridge regions of the MEP before the transition state. These non-MEP dynamics become more pronounced at high collision energies. Detailed dynamics simulations provide new insights into the atomic-level mechanisms of the title reaction thanks to the new chemically accurate PES with the aid of the machine learning.

Abstract
The accurate and efficient calculation of the rate coefficients of chemical reactions is a key issue in the research of chemical dynamics. In this work, by applying the dimension-free ultrastable Cayley propagator, the thermal rate coefficients of a prototypic high dimensional chemical reaction OH + CH4 → H2O + CH3 in the temperature range of 200 to 1500 K are investigated with ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) on a highly accurate full-dimensional potential energy surface. Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) for three isotopologues of the title reaction are also studied. The results demonstrate excellent agreement with experimental data, even in the deep tunneling region. Especially, the Cayley propagator shows a high calculation efficiency with little loss of accuracy. The present results confirmed the applicability of the RPMD method, particularly the speed-up using a Cayley propagator, in theoretical calculations of bimolecular reaction rates.

Abstract
We develop a full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface (PES) for the OH + C2H6 reaction using the Robosurfer program system, which automatically (1) selects geometries from quasi-classical trajectories, (2) performs ab initio computations using a CCSD(T)-F12/triple-zeta-quality composite method, (3) fits the energies utilizing the permutationally-invariant monomial symmetrization approach, and iteratively improves the PES via steps (1)−(3). Quasi-classical trajectory simulations on the new PES reveal that hydrogen abstraction leading to H2O + C2H5 dominates in the collision energy range of 10−50 kcal/mol. The abstraction cross sections increase and the dominant mechanism shifts from rebound (small impact parameters and backward scattering) to stripping (larger impact parameters and forward scattering) with increasing collision energy as opacity functions and scattering angle distributions indicate. The abstraction reaction clearly favors side-on OH attack over O-side and the least-preferred H-side approach, whereas C2H6 behaves like a spherical object with only slight C−C-perpendicular side-on preference. Collision energy efficiently flows into the relative translation of the products, whereas product internal energy distributions show only little collision energy dependence. H2O/C2H5 vibrational distributions slightly/significantly violate zero-point energy and are nearly independent of collision energy, whereas the rotational distributions clearly blue-shift as collision energy increases.

Abstract
Δ-machine learning, or the hierarchical construction scheme, is a highly cost-effective method, as only a small number of high-level ab initio energies are required to improve a potential energy surface (PES) fit to a large number of low-level points. However, there is no efficient and systematic way to select as few points as possible from the low-level data set. We here propose a permutation-invariant-polynomial neural-network (PIP-NN)-based Δ-machine learning approach to construct full-dimensional accurate PESs of complicated reactions efficiently. Particularly, the high flexibility of the NN is exploited to efficiently sample points from the low-level data set. This approach is applied to the challenging case of a HO2 self-reaction with a large configuration space. Only 14% of the DFT data set is used to successfully bring a newly fitted DFT PES to the UCCSD(T)-F12a/AVTZ quality. Then, the quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) calculations are performed to study its dynamics, particularly the mode specificity.

Abstract
Inelastic scattering processes have proven a powerful means of investigating molecular interactions, and much current effort is focused on the cold and ultracold regime where quantum phenomena are clearly manifested. Studies of collisions of the open shell nitric oxide (NO) molecule have been central in this effort since the pioneering work of Houston and co-workers in the early 1990s. State-to-state scattering of vibrationally excited molecules in the cold regime introduces challenges that test the suitability of current theoretical methods for ab initio determination of intermolecular potentials, and concomitant electronically nonadiabatic processes raise the bar further. Here we report measurements of differential cross sections for state-to-state spin-orbit changing collisions of NO (v = 10, Ω″ = 1.5, and j″ = 1.5) with neon from 2.3 to 3.5 cm-1 collision energy using our recently developed near-copropagating beam technique. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from quantum scattering calculations on a high-level set of coupled cluster potential energy surfaces and are shown to be in good agreement. The theoretical results suggest that distinct backscattering in the 2.3 cm-1 case arises from overlapping resonances.

Abstract
![]()
We investigate the
reaction pathways of the Cl + CH3CN system: hydrogen abstraction,
methyl substitution, hydrogen substitution,
and cyanide substitution, leading to HCl + CH2CN, ClCN/CNCl
+ CH3, ClCH2CN + H, and CH3Cl + CN,
respectively. Hydrogen abstraction is exothermic and has a low barrier,
whereas the other channels are endothermic with high barriers. The
latter two can proceed via a Walden inversion or front-side attack
mechanism, and the front-side attack barriers are always higher. The
C-side methyl substitution has a lower barrier and also a lower endothermicity
than the N-side reaction. The computations utilize an accurate composite
ab initio approach and the explicitly correlated CCSD(T)-F12b method.
The benchmark classical and vibrationally adiabatic energies of the
stationary points are determined with the most accurate CCSD(T)-F12b/aug-cc-pVQZ
energies adding further contributions of the post-(T) and core correlation,
scalar relativistic effects, spin–orbit coupling, and zero-point
energy corrections. These contributions are found to be non-negligible
to reach subchemical accuracy.

Abstract
Ion-molecule reactions play key roles in the field of ion related chemistry. As a prototypical multi-channel ion-molecule reaction, the reaction H2 + NH2- → NH3 + H- has been studied for decades. In this work, we develop a new globally accurate potential energy surface (PES) for the title system based on hundreds of thousands of sampled points over a wide dynamically relevant region that covers long-range interacting configuration space. The permutational invariant polynomial-neural network (PIP-NN) method is used for fitting and the resulting total root mean squared error (RMSE) is extremely small, 0.026 kcal mol-1. Extensive dynamical and kinetic calculations are carried out on this PIP-NN PES. Impressively, a unique phenomenon of significant reactivity suppression by exciting the rotational mode of H2 is reported, supported by both the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) and quantum dynamics (QD) calculations. Further analysis uncovers that exciting the H2 rotational mode would prevent the formation of the reactant complex and thus suppress the reactivity. The calculated rate coefficients for H2/D2 + NH2- agree well with the experimental results, which show an inverse temperature dependence from 50 to 300 K, consistent with the capture nature of this barrierless reaction. The significant kinetic isotope effect observed by experiments is well reproduced by the QCT computations as well.

Abstract
We investigate the mode-specific dynamics of the ground-state, C-Cl stretching (v10), CH2 wagging (v7), sym-CH2 stretching (v1), and sym-CH3 stretching (v3) excited F- + CH3CH2Cl(vk = 0, 1) [k = 10, 7, 1, 3] → Cl- + CH3CH2F (SN2), HF + CH3CHCl-, FH⋯Cl- + C2H4, and Cl- + HF + C2H4 (E2) reactions using a full-dimensional high-level analytical global potential energy surface and the quasi-classical trajectory method. Excitation of the C-Cl stretching, CH2 stretching, and CH2/CH3 stretching modes enhances the SN2, proton abstraction, and FH⋯Cl- and E2 channels, respectively. Anti-E2 dominates over syn-E2 (kinetic anti-E2 preference) and the thermodynamically-favored SN2 (wider reactive anti-E2 attack angle range). The direct (a) SN2, (b) proton abstraction, (c) FH⋯Cl- + C2H4, (d) syn-E2, and (e) anti-E2 channels proceed with (a) back-side/backward, (b) isotropic/forward, (c) side-on/forward, (d) front-side/forward, and (e) back-side/forward attack/scattering, respectively. The HF products are vibrationally cold, especially for proton abstraction, and their rotational excitation increases for proton abstraction, anti-E2, and syn-E2, in order. Product internal-energy and mode-specific vibrational distributions show that CH3CH2F is internally hot with significant C-F stretching and CH2 wagging excitations, whereas C2H4 is colder. One-dimensional Gaussian binning technique is proved to solve the normal mode analysis failure caused by methyl internal rotation.

Abstract
Transition state dynamics of bimolecular reactions can be probed by photodetachment of a precursor anion when the Franck-Condon region of the corresponding neutral potential energy surface is near a saddle point. In this study, photodetachment of anions at m/z = 49 enabled investigation of the exit channel of the OH + CH3OH → H2O + CH3O reaction using photoelectron-photofragment coincidence spectroscopy. High-level coupled-cluster calculations of the stationary points on the anion surface show that the methoxide-water cluster CH3O-(H2O) is the stable minimum on the anion surface. Photodetachment at a 3.20 eV photon energy leads to long-lived H2O(CH3O) complexes and H2O + CH3O products consistent with both direct dissociative photodetachment and resonance mediated processes on the neutral surface. The partitioning of total kinetic energy in the system indicates that water stretch and bend excitation is induced in dissociative photodetachment and evidence for long-lived complexes consistent with vibrational Feshbach resonances is reported.

Abstract
We report a detailed dynamics study on the mode-specificity of the Cl + C2H6 → HCl + C2H5 H-abstraction reaction. We perform quasi-classical trajectory simulations using a recently developed high-level ab initio full-dimensional potential energy surface by exciting five different vibrational modes of ethane at four collision energies. We find that all the studied vibrational excitations, except that of the CC-stretching mode, clearly promote the title reaction, and the vibrational enhancements are consistent with the predictions of the Sudden Vector Projection (SVP) model, with the largest effect caused by the CH-stretching excitations. Intramolecular vibrational redistribution is also monitored for the differently excited ethane molecule. Our results indicate that the mechanism of the reaction changes with increasing collision energy, with no mode-specificity at high energies. The initial translational energy mostly converts into product recoil, while a significant part of the excess vibrational energy remains in the ethyl radical. An interesting competition between translational and vibrational energies is observed for the HCl vibrational distribution: the effect of exciting the low-frequency ethane modes, having small SVP values, is suppressed by translational excitation, whereas a part of the excess vibrational energy pumped into the CH-stretching modes (larger SVP values) efficiently flows into the HCl vibration.

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) techniques applied to chemical reactions have a long history. The present contribution discusses applications ranging from small molecule reaction dynamics to computational platforms for reaction planning. ML-based techniques can be particularly relevant for problems involving both computation and experiments. For one, Bayesian inference is a powerful approach to develop models consistent with knowledge from experiments. Second, ML-based methods can also be used to handle problems that are formally intractable using conventional approaches, such as exhaustive characterization of state-to-state information in reactive collisions. Finally, the explicit simulation of reactive networks as they occur in combustion has become possible using machine-learned neural network potentials. This review provides an overview of the questions that can and have been addressed using machine learning techniques, and an outlook discusses challenges in this diverse and stimulating field. It is concluded that ML applied to chemistry problems as practiced and conceived today has the potential to transform the way with which the field approaches problems involving chemical reactions, in both research and academic teaching.

Abstract
Moving beyond the six-atomic benchmark systems, we discuss the new age and future of first-principles reaction dynamics, which investigates complex, multichannel chemical reactions. We describe the methodology starting from the benchmark ab initio characterization of the stationary points, followed by full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) developments and reaction dynamics computations. We highlight our composite ab initio approach providing benchmark stationary-point properties with subchemical accuracy, the Robosurfer program system enabling automatic PES development, and applications for the Cl + C2H6, F + C2H6, and OH- + CH3I post-six-atom reactions focusing on ab initio issues and their solutions as well as showing the excellent agreement between theory and experiment.

Abstract
We present the results of quantum dynamics calculations for analyzing the experimentally measured photoelectron spectra of the OH-·NH3 anion complex. Detachment of an excess electron of OH-·NH3 initially produces a molecular arrangement, which is close to the transition-state structure of the neutral OH + NH3→ H2O + NH2 hydrogen abstraction reaction due to the Franck-Condon principle, and thus finally leads to the OH + NH3 or H2O + NH2 asymptotic channel. We used both the path integral method and the reduced-dimensionality quantum wave packet method to simulate the photoelectron spectra of the OH-·NH3 anion. The calculated spectra were found to be in qualitative agreement with the experimental spectra. It was found that the photodetached complex mainly dissociates into the OH + NH3 channel; however, we found that the hydrogen exchange process also contributes to the photodetachment spectra.

Abstract
In addition to its vital significance in combustion and atmospheric chemistry, the reaction between H' and HO2 on the ground triplet state represents a prototype with multiple product channels, including H2 + O2, OH + OH, O + H2O, and H + H'O2. In this work, a full-dimensional accurate potential energy surface (PES) for the title reaction was developed to provide reliable descriptions for all dynamically relevant regions. Using this PES, we adopted the quasi-classical trajectory approach to study the corresponding reaction dynamics, including the reactivity of each product channel and the associated product branching ratio, the product energy distributions, product angular distributions, and associated microscopic mechanisms. For representing distributions of the product energies, such as product translational energy as well as product rotational and vibrational energies, both the traditional histogram and the kernel density estimation (KDE) methods were used and compared. It seems that the features of the resulting distributions in this work are very similar to each other among different methods. The KDE method is suggested for statistics, particularly for those populations with small oscillations in the histogram plot.

Abstract
We characterize the exothermic low/submerged-barrier hydrogen-abstraction (HCl + CH2NH2/CH3NH) as well as, for the first time, the endothermic high-barrier amino-substitution (CH3Cl + NH2), methyl-substitution (NH2Cl + CH3), and hydrogen-substitution (CH2ClNH2/CH3NHCl + H) pathways of the Cl + CH3NH2 reaction using an accurate composite ab initio approach. The computations reveal a CH3NH2Cl complex in the entrance channel, nine transition states corresponding to different abstractions, Walden-inversion substitution, and configuration-retaining front-side attack substitution pathways, as well as nine post-reaction complexes. The global minima of the electronic and vibrationally adiabatic potential energy surfaces correspond to the pre-reaction CH3NH2Cl and post-reaction CH2NH2HCl complexes, respectively. The benchmark composite energies of the stationary points are obtained by considering basis-set effects up to the correlation-consistent polarized valence quadruple-zeta basis augmented with diffuse functions (aug-cc-pVQZ) using the explicitly-correlated coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples CCSD(T)-F12b method, post-(T) correlation up to CCSDT(Q) including full triples and perturbative quadruples, core correlation, and scalar relativistic and spin-orbit effects, as well as harmonic zero-point energy corrections.

Abstract
Dynamics of bimolecular reactions in the gas phase are of foundational importance in combustion, atmospheric chemistry, interstellar chemistry, and plasma chemistry. These collision-induced chemical transformations are a sensitive probe of the underlying potential energy surface(s). Despite tremendous progress in past decades, our understanding is still not complete. In this Perspective, we survey the recent advances in theoretical characterization of bimolecular reaction dynamics, stimulated by new experimental observations, and identify key new challenges.

Abstract
The reaction N2O + C2H2 → oxadiazole has been considered as a prototype for 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Here, we report a comprehensive dynamical study of this important reaction on a full-dimensional potential energy surface, which is fitted to about 64 000 high-level ab initio data by a machine learning approach. Comprehensive dynamical simulations are carried out to provide quantitative chemical insight into its reaction dynamics. In addition to confirming the enhancement effect of the N2O bending mode on the reactivity, intricate mode specificity effects of other vibrational modes in reactants are revealed for the first time. The asymmetric stretching mode of N2O and the C-C-H bending mode of C2H2 show no effect. All remaining modes can enhance the reactivity. In particular, the vibrational excitation of the N2O symmetric stretching mode shows similar enhancement effect on the title reaction, compared to its bending mode excitation. Detailed analysis reveals that the concerted mechanism dominates with the reactants propelled sufficiently close to each other to yield product. This study advances our understanding of the chemical dynamics of the title reaction.

Abstract
Resonance states are characterized by an energy that is above the lowest dissociation threshold of the potential energy hypersurface of the system and thus resonances have finite lifetimes. All molecules possess a large number of long- and short-lived resonance (quasibound) states. A considerable number of rotational-vibrational resonance states are accessible not only via quantum-chemical computations but also by spectroscopic and scattering experiments. In a number of chemical applications, most prominently in spectroscopy and reaction dynamics, consideration of rotational-vibrational resonance states is becoming more and more common. There are different first-principles techniques to compute and rationalize rotational-vibrational resonance states: one can perform scattering calculations or one can arrive at rovibrational resonances using variational or variational-like techniques based on methods developed for determining bound eigenstates. The latter approaches can be based either on the Hermitian (L2, square integrable) or non-Hermitian (non-L2) formalisms of quantum mechanics. This Perspective reviews the basic concepts related to and the relevance of shape and Feshbach-type rotational-vibrational resonance states, discusses theoretical methods and computational tools allowing their efficient determination, and shows numerical examples from the authors' previous studies on the identification and characterization of rotational-vibrational resonances of polyatomic molecular systems.

Abstract
Observation of molecular dynamics with quantum state resolution is one of the major challenges in chemical physics. Complete characterization of collision dynamics leads to the microscopic understanding and unraveling of different quantum phenomena such as scattering resonances. Here we present an experimental approach for observing molecular dynamics involving neutral particles and ions that is capable of providing state-to-state mapping of the dynamics. We use Penning ionization reaction between argon and metastable helium to generate argon ion and ground state helium atom pairs at separation of several angstroms. The energy of an ejected electron carries the information about the initial electronic state of an ion. The coincidence detection of ionic products provides a state resolved description of the post-ionization ion-neutral dynamics. We demonstrate that correlation between the electron and ion energy spectra enables us to directly observe the spin-orbit excited Feshbach resonance state of HeAr+. We measure the lifetime of the quasi-bound HeAr+ A2 state and discuss possible applications of our method.

Abstract
In this Perspective, we review recent advances in constructing high-fidelity potential energy surfaces (PESs) from discrete ab initio points, using machine learning tools. Such PESs, albeit with substantial initial investments, provide significantly higher efficiency than direct dynamics methods and/or high accuracy at a level that is not affordable by on-the-fly approaches. These PESs not only are a necessity for quantum dynamical studies because of delocalization of wave packets but also enable the study of low-probability and long-time events in (quasi-)classical treatments. Our focus here is on inelastic and reactive scattering processes, which are more challenging than bound systems because of the involvement of continua. Relevant applications and developments for dynamical processes in both the gas phase and at gas-surface interfaces are discussed.

Abstract
It has been established that the noble-metal-H analogue has been found in a large number of noble-metal-ligand clusters in view of geometric and electronic structures. Here, we demonstrated a different view of noble-metal-H analogue between noble-metal and hydrogen in M(SCH3)2 - (M = Cu, Ag, Au and H) systems. Although H(SCH3)2 - is a typical ion-hydrogen bonding cluster dramatically different from the chemical bonding clusters of M(SCH3)2 - (M = Cu, Ag and Au), the comparison of the two typical bonding patterns has not yet been fully investigated. Through a series of chemical bonding analyses, it is indicated that the evolution has been exhibited from typical ionic bonding in Cu(SCH3)2 - to a significant covalent bonding nature in Au(SCH3)2 - and hydrogen bonding dominating in H(SCH3)2 -. The comparison of M(SCH3)2 - (M = Cu, Ag and Au) with H(SCH3)2 - illustrates the differences in bonding between noble metals and hydrogen, which are mainly related to their diverse atomic orbitals participating in chemical bonding.

Abstract
We present a theoretical study of the hydrogen abstraction reaction from 2-propanol by ground-state oxygen atoms. First, ab initio calculations are used to characterize the stationary points of the potential energy surface. Rotation around the C-C-O-H dihedral affords two conformers in 2-propanol, which gives rise to 13 hydrogen abstraction reaction pathways grouped into three channels, Cα, Cβ, and O, depending on the abstraction site. Reaction at Cα exhibits the lowest barrier and largest exothermicity, followed by reaction at Cβ, and at 2-propanol's oxygen atom. Additional ab initio calculations beyond the stationary points are employed to obtain a grid of energies with which a specific-reaction-parameters (SRP) PM6 semiemipirical Hamiltonian is derived for the title reaction. The SRP-PM6 model captures the energetics of the reaction with higher accuracy than some conventional first-principles methods but is efficient enough to allow for extensive reaction dynamics calculations. Quasiclassical trajectories are subsequently propagated with the SRP-PM6 Hamiltonian to obtain reaction dynamics properties that are compared to experiments. Product translational energy and angular distributions for reaction at Cα with the two conformers of 2-propanol are in good agreement with recent molecular-beam measurements, and they exhibit largely backward scattering with modest energy release to relative translation. Most of the energy is deposited into the organic product, substantiating a reaction mechanism dominated by rebound dynamics.

Abstract
Comprehensive dynamical simulations of a prototypical multi-channel reaction on a globally accurate potential energy surface show that the non-statistical product branching is dictated by unique stereodynamics in the entrance channels.
Hydrogen abstraction from methanol (CH3OH) by F atoms presents an ideal proving ground to investigate dynamics of multi-channel reactions, because two types of hydrogen can be abstracted from the methanol molecule leading to the HF + CH3O and HF + CH2OH products. Using the quasi-classical trajectory approach on a globally accurate potential energy surface based on high-level ab initio calculations, this work reports a comprehensive dynamical investigation of this multi-channel reaction, yielding measurable attributes including integral and differential cross sections, as well as branching ratios. It is shown that while complex-forming and direct mechanisms coexist at low collision energies, these barrierless reaction channels are dominated at high energies by the direct mechanism, in which the reaction is only possible for trajectories entering into the respective dynamical cones of acceptance. Perhaps more importantly, the non-statistical product branching is found to be dictated by unique stereodynamics in the entrance channels.
