An experimental and quasiclassical trajectory study of the rovibrationally state-selected reactions: HD+(v=0–15,j=1)+He→HeH+(HeD+)+D(H)

Isotopic and quantum-rovibrational-state effects for the ion-molecule reaction in the collision energy range of 0.03-10.00 eV

We report detailed quantum-rovibrational-state-selected integral cross sections for the formation of H₃O⁺via H-transfer (σ_HT) and H₂DO⁺via D-transfer (σ_DT) from the reaction in the center-of-mass collision energy (E_cm) range of 0.03-10.00 eV, where (vvv) = (000), (100), and (020) and . The E_cm inhibition and rotational enhancement observed for these reactions at E_cm < 0.5 eV are generally consistent with those reported previously for H₂O⁺ + H₂(D₂) reactions. However, in contrast to the vibrational inhibition observed for the latter reactions at low E_cm < 0.5 eV, both the σ_HT and σ_DT for the H₂O⁺ + HD reaction are found to be enhanced by (100) vibrational excitation, which is not predicted by the current state-of-the-art theoretical dynamics calculations. Furthermore, the (100) vibrational enhancement for the H₂O⁺ + HD reaction is observed in the full E_cm range of 0.03-10.00 eV. The fact that vibrational enhancement is only observed for the reaction of H₂O⁺ + HD, and not for H₂O⁺ + H₂(D₂) reactions suggests that the asymmetry of HD may play a role in the reaction dynamics. In addition to the strong isotopic effect favoring the σ_HT channel of the H₂O⁺ + HD reaction at low E_cm < 0.5 eV, competition between the σ_HT and σ_DT of the H₂O⁺ + HD reaction is also observed at E_cm = 0.3-10.0 eV. The present state-selected study of the H₂O⁺ + HD reaction, along with the previous studies of the H₂O⁺ + H₂(D₂) reactions, clearly shows that the chemical reactivity of H₂O⁺ toward H₂ (HD, D₂) depends not only on E_cm, but also on the rotational and vibrational states of H₂O⁺(X²B₁). The detailed σ_HT and σ_DT values obtained here with single rovibrational-state selections of the reactant H₂O⁺ are expected to be valuable benchmarks for state-of-the-art theoretical calculations on the chemical dynamics of the title reaction.

Time-dependent wave packet quantum and quasi-classical trajectory study of He + H₂⁺, D₂⁺ → HeH⁺ + H, HeD⁺ + D reaction on an accurate FCI potential energy surface

The quantum scattering dynamics and quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations have been carried out for the title reaction on an accurate potential energy surface (PES) computed using the full configuration interaction (FCI). On the basis of the PES, the integral cross-sections of He + H₂⁺ (v = 0-3, j = 1) → HeH⁺ + H reaction have been calculated, and the results are generally agreed with the experimental cross-sections obtained by Tang et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 2005, 122, 164301] after taking into account the experimental uncertainties, which proves the reliability of implementing dynamics calculations on the FCI PES. The reaction probability of He + D₂⁺ (v = 0-2, j = 0) → HeD⁺ + D reactions for total angular momentum J = 0 and the integral cross-section (ICS) have been calculated. The significant quantum effect has been explored by the comparison between the QCT reaction probabilities (or ICS) and the quantum mechanical (QM) reaction probabilities (or ICS), which may be attributed to the deep well in the PES of this light atoms system. Furthermore, the role of Coriolis coupling (CC) effects has also been found not important by the comparison between the CC calculation and the centrifugal sudden (CS) approximation calculation, except that the CC total cross-sections for the v = 1 and 2 states show the collision energy-dependent behaviors in the low-energy area, which are different from those based on the CS calculation.
