Abstract
The Doppler broadened R(0) and R(1) lines of the (2-0) vibrational band of HD have been measured at liquid nitrogen temperature and at pressures of 2 Pa, with a comb referenced continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectrometer set-up. Transition frequencies of 214905335185 kHz and 217105181898 kHz were derived from 33 and 83 recordings, with corresponding root mean squared deviation of 53 and 33 kHz for the R(0) and R(1) transition, respectively. This is the first sub-MHz frequency determination of the R(0) transition frequency and represents a three order of magnitude accuracy improvement compared to literature. The R(1) transition frequency is in very good agreement with previous determinations in saturation regime reported with similar accuracy. To achieve such accuracy, the transition frequency of the (101)-(000) 211-312 line of H216O interfering with the R(0) line had to be precisely determined and is reported with a standard error of 100 Hz at 214904329826.49(10) kHz (relative uncertainty of 5 × 10-13). These measurement sets provide stringent reference values for validating future advances in the theoretical description of the hydrogen (and water) molecule.

Abstract
We present measurements of the product-channel branching ratios of the reactions (i) HD+ + HD forming H2D+ + D (38.1(30)%) and HD2+ + H (61.9(30)%), (ii) HD+ + D2 forming HD2+ + D (61.4(35)%) and D3+ + H (38.6(35)%), and (iii) D2+ + HD forming HD2++ D (60.5(20)%) and D3+ + H (39.5(20)%) at collision energies Ecoll near zero, i.e., below kB × 1 K. These branching ratios are compared with branching ratios predicted using three simple models: a combinatorial model (M1), a model (M2) describing the reactions as H-, H+-, D-, and D+-transfer processes, and a statistical model (M3) that relates the reaction rate coefficients to the translational and rovibrational state densities of the HnD3-n+ + H/D (n = 0, 1, 2 or 3) product channels. The experimental data are incompatible with the predictions of models M1 and M2 and reveal that the branching ratios exhibit clear correlations with the product state densities.

Abstract
Accurately monitoring and effectively controlling the tritium compounds based on their ro-vibrational energy structure are important issues in various nuclear systems. Because of their radioactivity, it is difficult to obtain the corresponding energies directly through experiments. In this paper, the potential energy curves and the corresponding ro-vibrational full spectrum of DT, HT and T2 systems are derived by ab initio methods. However, it is difficult to verify the reliability of the calculated results due to the lack of direct experimental support. Therefore, a data-driven reliability analysis method is proposed, which can confirm the reliability by extracting information from the relevant calculations and multiple experimental data (the vibrational level, rotational level, and molar heat capacity) of similar systems (HD, H2, D2). The results show that: 1) The potential energy curves obtained by the ab initio method can provide the full ro-vibrational energy spectrum with an accuracy of approximately 10 cm-1; 2) Macroscopic heat capacity information can be used to distinguish and calibrate the overall reliability of microscopic ro-vibrational energies; 3) For the isotopic energy level structure of hydrogen, the influence of isotopes is mainly mass effect.

Abstract
We report the 2018 self-consistent values of constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data of the International Science Council. The recommended values can also be found at physics.nist.gov/constants. The values are based on a least-squares adjustment that takes into account all theoretical and experimental data available through 31 December 2018. A discussion of the major improvements as well as inconsistencies within the data is given. The former include a decrease in the uncertainty of the dimensionless fine-structure constant and a nearly two orders of magnitude improvement of particle masses expressed in units of kg due to the transition to the revised International System of Units (SI) with an exact value for the Planck constant. Further, because the elementary charge, Boltzmann constant, and Avogadro constant also have exact values in the revised SI, many other constants are either exact or have significantly reduced uncertainties. Inconsistencies remain for the gravitational constant and the muon magnetic-moment anomaly. The proton charge radius puzzle has been partially resolved by improved measurements of hydrogen energy levels.

Abstract
The fully state-selected reactions between H2+ molecules in the X+ 2Σg+(v+ = 0, N+ = 0) state and HD molecules in the X 1Σg+(v = 0, J = 0) state forming H3+ + D and H2D+ + H have been studied at collision energies Ecoll between 0 and kB·30 K with a resolution of about 75 mK at the lowest energies. H2 molecules in a supersonic beam were prepared in Rydberg-Stark states with principal quantum number n = 27 and merged with a supersonic beam of ground-state HD molecules using a curved surface-electrode Rydberg-Stark decelerator and deflector. The reaction between H2+ and HD was studied within the orbit of the Rydberg electron to avoid heating of the ions by stray electric fields. The reaction was observed for well-defined and adjustable time intervals, called reaction-observation windows, between two electric-field pulses. The first pulse swept all ions away from the reaction volume and its falling edge defined the beginning of the reaction-observation window. The second pulse extracted the product ions toward a charged-particle detector located at the end of a time-of-flight tube and its rising edge defined the end of the reaction-observation window. Monitoring and analysing the time-of-flight distributions of the H3+ and H2D+ products in dependence of the duration of the reaction-observation window enabled us to obtain information on the kinetic-energy distribution of the product ions and determine branching ratios of the H3+ + D and H2D+ + H reaction channels. The mean product-kinetic-energy release is 0.46(5) eV, representing 27(3)% of the available energy, and the H3+ + D product branching ratio is 0.225(20). The relative reaction rates correspond closely to Langevin capture rates down to the lowest energies probed experimentally (≈kB·50 mK).

Abstract
High-resolution coherent Raman spectroscopic measurements of all three tritium-containing molecular hydrogen isotopologues T2, DT and HT were performed to determine the ground electronic state fundamental Q-branch (v = 0 → 1, ΔJ = 0) transition frequencies at accuracies of 0.0005 cm-1. An over hundred-fold improvement in accuracy over previous experiments allows the comparison with the latest ab initio calculations in the framework of non-adiabatic perturbation theory including nonrelativisitic, relativisitic and QED contributions. Excellent agreement is found between experiment and theory, thus providing a verification of the validity of the NAPT-framework for these tritiated species. While the transition frequencies were corrected for ac-Stark shifts, the contributions of non-resonant background as well as quantum interference effects between resonant features in the nonlinear spectroscopy were quantitatively investigated, also leading to corrections to the transition frequencies. Methods of saturated CARS with the observation of Lamb dips, as well as the use of continuous-wave radiation for the Stokes frequency were explored, that might pave the way for future higher-accuracy CARS measurements.

Abstract
The term values of the rotational levels of the first excited vibrational state of the electronic ground state of He 2 + with a rotational quantum number N + ≤ 13 have been determined with an accuracy of 1.2 × 10-3 cm-1 (∼35 MHz) by multichannel-quantum-defect-theory-assisted Rydberg spectroscopy of metastable He2. Comparison of the experimental term values with the most accurate ab initio results for He 2 + available in the literature [W.-C. Tung, M. Pavanello, and L. Adamowicz, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 104309 (2012)] reveals inconsistencies between the theoretical and experimental results that increase with increasing rotational quantum numbers. The fundamental vibrational wavenumber of He 2 + was determined to be 1628.3832(12) cm-1 by fitting effective molecular constants to the obtained term values.

Abstract
The Schrödinger equation for the ground states of the hydrogen molecules HD and D2 is solved variationally by treating the constituent particles of HD or D2 on the same footing without assuming the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The variational basis sets are constructed using Hylleraas coordinates that are traditionally adopted for few-electron atomic systems. The nonrelativistic energy eigenvalues are converged to the level of 10-6 cm-1. The leading-order relativistic corrections, including relativistic recoil terms, are calculated rigorously. Together with the higher-order relativistic and quantum electrodynamic corrections obtained by the Pachucki's group [Phys. Rev. A., 2017, 95, 052506; Phys. Rev. Lett., 2018, 120, 153001], we determine the dissociation energy of D2 to be 36748.36240(28) cm-1, which agrees with the recent experimental result of Liu et al. [J. Chem. Phys., 2010, 132, 154301] 36748.36286(68) cm-1. For HD, the dissociation energy determined by us is 36405.78252(27) cm-1, which deviates from the most accurate experimental result of Sprecher et al. [J. Chem. Phys., 2010, 133, 111102] 36405.78366(36) cm-1 by about 2σ.

Abstract
The relativistic correction to the dissociation energy of H_{2}, D_{2}, and HD molecules has been accurately calculated without expansion in the small electron-nucleus mass ratio. The obtained results indicate the significance of nonadiabatic effects and resolve the discrepancy of theoretical predictions with recent experimental values for H_{2} and D_{2}. While the theoretical accuracy is now significantly improved and is higher than the experimental one, we observe about 3σ discrepancy for the dissociation energy of HD, which requires further investigation.

Abstract
The hydrogen molecule has become a test ground for quantum electrodynamical calculations in molecules. Expanding beyond studies on stable hydrogenic species to the heavier radioactive tritium-bearing molecules, we report on a measurement of the fundamental T_{2} vibrational splitting (v=0→1) for J=0-5 rotational levels. Precision frequency metrology is performed with high-resolution coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy at an experimental uncertainty of 10-12 MHz, where sub-Doppler saturation features are exploited for the strongest transition. The achieved accuracy corresponds to a 50-fold improvement over a previous measurement, and it allows for the extraction of relativistic and QED contributions to T_{2} transition energies.

Abstract
Precision spectroscopy of the hydrogen molecule is a test ground of quantum electrodynamics (QED), and it may serve for the determination of fundamental constants. Using a comb-locked cavity ring-down spectrometer, for the first time, we observed the Lamb-dip spectrum of the R(1) line in the overtone of hydrogen deuteride (HD). The line position was determined to be 217 105 182.79±0.03_{stat}±0.08_{syst} MHz (δν/ν=4×10^{-10}), which is the most accurate rovibrational transition ever measured in the ground electronic state of molecular hydrogen. Moreover, from calculations including QED effects up to the order m_{e}α^{6}, we obtained predictions for this R(1) line as well as for the HD dissociation energy, which are less accurate but signaling the importance of the complete treatment of nonadiabatic effects. Provided that the theoretical calculation reaches the same accuracy, the present measurement will lead to a determination of the proton-to-electron mass ratio with a precision of 1.3 parts per billion.

Abstract
We present a new computational method for the determination of energy levels in four-particle systems like H2, HD, and HeH+ using explicitly correlated exponential basis functions and analytic integration formulas. In solving the Schrödinger equation, no adiabatic separation of the nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom is introduced. We provide formulas for the coupling between the rotational and electronic angular momenta, which enable calculations of arbitrary rotationally excited energy levels. To illustrate the high numerical efficiency of the method, we present the results for various states of the hydrogen molecule. The relative accuracy to which we determined the nonrelativistic energy reached the level of 10-12-10-13, which corresponds to an uncertainty of 10-7-10-8 cm-1.

Abstract
Two methyl esters were examined as models for the pyrolysis of biofuels. Dilute samples (0.06-0.13%) of methyl acetate (CH3COOCH3) and methyl butanoate (CH3CH2CH2COOCH3) were entrained in (He, Ar) carrier gas and decomposed in a set of flash-pyrolysis microreactors. The pyrolysis products resulting from the methyl esters were detected and identified by vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry. Complementary product identification was provided by matrix infrared absorption spectroscopy. Pyrolysis pressures in the pulsed microreactor were about 20 Torr and residence times through the reactors were roughly 25-150 μs. Reactor temperatures of 300-1600 K were explored. Decomposition of CH3COOCH3 commences at 1000 K, and the initial products are (CH2═C═O and CH3OH). As the microreactor is heated to 1300 K, a mixture of CH2═C═O and CH3OH, CH3, CH2═O, H, CO, and CO2 appears. The thermal cracking of CH3CH2CH2COOCH3 begins at 800 K with the formation of CH3CH2CH═C═O and CH3OH. By 1300 K, the pyrolysis of methyl butanoate yields a complex mixture of CH3CH2CH═C═O, CH3OH, CH3, CH2═O, CO, CO2, CH3CH═CH2, CH2CHCH2, CH2═C═CH2, HCCCH2, CH2═C═C═O, CH2═CH2, HC≡CH, and CH2═C═O. On the basis of the results from the thermal cracking of methyl acetate and methyl butanoate, we predict several important decomposition channels for the pyrolysis of fatty acid methyl esters, R-CH2-COOCH3. The lowest-energy fragmentation will be a 4-center elimination of methanol to form the ketene RCH═C═O. At higher temperatures, concerted fragmentation to radicals will ensue to produce a mixture of species: (RCH2 + CO2 + CH3) and (RCH2 + CO + CH2═O + H). Thermal cracking of the β C-C bond of the methyl ester will generate the radicals (R and H) as well as CH2═C═O + CH2═O. The thermochemistry of methyl acetate and its fragmentation products were obtained via the Active Thermochemical Tables (ATcT) approach, resulting in ΔfH298(CH3COOCH3) = -98.7 ± 0.2 kcal mol-1, ΔfH298(CH3CO2) = -45.7 ± 0.3 kcal mol-1, and ΔfH298(COOCH3) = -38.3 ± 0.4 kcal mol-1.

Abstract
The large electric dipole moments associated with highly excited Rydberg states of atoms and molecules make gas-phase samples in these states very well suited to deceleration and trapping using inhomogeneous electric fields. The methods of Rydberg-Stark deceleration with which this can be achieved are reviewed here. Using these techniques, the longitudinal motion of beams of atoms and molecules moving at speeds as high as 2500 m/s have been manipulated, with changes in kinetic energy of up to |Δ E kin|=1.3×10-20 J (|Δ E kin|/e=80 meV or |Δ E kin|/h c=650 cm -1) achieved, while decelerated and trapped samples with number densities of 106- 107 cm -3 and translational temperatures of ∼150 mK have been prepared. Applications of these samples in areas of research at the interface between physics and physical chemistry are discussed.

Abstract
The interaction of D(-) with H was studied experimentally and theoretically at low temperatures. The rate coefficients of associative detachment and electron transfer reactions were measured in the temperature range 10-160 K using a combination of a cryogenic 22-pole trap with a cold effusive beam of atomic hydrogen. Results from quantum-mechanical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data. The rate coefficient obtained for electron transfer is increasing monotonically with temperature from 1 × 10(-9) cm(3) s(-1) at 10 K to 5 × 10(-9) cm(3) s(-1) at 160 K. The rate coefficient for associative detachment has a flat maximum of 3 × 10(-9) cm(3) s(-1) between 30 and 100 K.

Abstract
The structure and dynamics of high-n Rydberg states belonging to series converging to the (v(+) = 0, N(+) = 0-2) levels of the X(+) (2)Σ(g)(+)electronic ground state of HD(+) were studied by high-resolution spectroscopy from the GK (1)Σ(g)(+) (v = 1, N = 1) state under field-free conditions. Three effects of g/u-symmetry breaking were detected: (i) Single-photon transitions from the GK (v = 1, N = 1) state of gerade symmetry to the 30d21 and 31g22 Rydberg states of gerade symmetry were observed after careful compensation of the stray electric fields. (ii) The singlet 61p12 Rydberg state of ungerade symmetry was found to autoionize to the N(+) = 0, ℓ = 2 ionization continuum of gerade symmetry with a lifetime of 77(10) ns. (iii) Shifts of up to 20 MHz induced by g/u-symmetry mixing were measured for members of the np11 Rydberg series which lie close to nd21 Rydberg states. These observations were analyzed in the framework of multichannel quantum-defect theory. From the observed level shifts, the off-diagonal eigenquantum-defect element μ(pd) of singlet-π symmetry was determined to be 0.0023(3) and the corresponding autoionization dynamics could be characterized. The ionization energy of the GK (v = 1, N = 1) state of HD was determined to be 12 710.544 23(10) cm(-1).

Abstract
We report mass analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopy of supersonically cooled gas phase carboxylic complexes with 9-hydroxy-9-fluorenecarboxylic acid (9HFCA), an analog of glycolic acid. The vibrationally resolved cation spectrum for the 9HFCA complex with formic acid allows accurate determination of its ionization potential (IP), 64,374 ± 8 cm(-1). This is 545 cm(-1) smaller than the IP of 9HFCA monomer. The IPs of 9HFCA complexes with acetic acid and benzoic acid shift by -1133 cm(-1) and -1438 cm(-1), respectively. Density functional calculations confirm that Cs symmetry is maintained upon ionization of the 9HFCA monomer and its acid complexes, in contrast to the drastic geometric rearrangement attending ionization in complexes of 9-fluorene carboxylic acid. We suggest that the marginal geometry changes and small IP shifts are primarily due to the collective interactions among one intramolecular and two intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the dimer.

Abstract
The fundamental ground tone vibration of H(2), HD, and D(2) is determined to an accuracy of 2×10(-4) cm(-1) from Doppler-free laser spectroscopy in the collisionless environment of a molecular beam. This rotationless vibrational splitting is derived from the combination difference between electronic excitation from the X(1)Σ(g)(+), v=0, and v=1 levels to a common EF(1)Σ(g)(+), v=0 level. Agreement within 1σ between the experimental result and a full ab initio calculation provides a stringent test of quantum electrodynamics in a chemically bound system.

Abstract
Quantum electrodynamic effects have been systematically tested in the progression of rotational quantum states in the X 1Σ(g)(+), v=0 vibronic ground state of molecular hydrogen. High-precision Doppler-free spectroscopy of the EF 1Σ(g)(+)-X 1Σ(g)(+) (0,0) band was performed with 0.005 cm(-1) accuracy on rotationally hot H2 (with rotational quantum states J up to 16). QED and relativistic contributions to rotational level energies as high as 0.13 cm(-1) are extracted, and are in perfect agreement with recent calculations of QED and high-order relativistic effects for the H2 ground state.
