Title: Potential energy surfaces and quasiclassical trajectory study of the O + H2(+)→ OH(+) + H, OH + H(+) proton and hydrogen atom transfer reactions and isotopic variants (D2(+), HD(+)). Author: Paniagua M, Martínez R, Gamallo P, González M. Journal: Phys Chem Chem Phys; 2014 Nov 21; 16(43):23594-603. PubMed ID: 25127319. Abstract: The rate constants (k; T: 200-900 K) and cross-sections (σ; Ecol: 0.010-0.50 eV) of the O + H2(+)→ OH(+) + H (1), OH + H(+) (2) reactions, which occur on the ground (1(2)A'') and first excited (1(2)A') potential energy surfaces (PESs), respectively, were investigated for the first time, considering also the rate constants for D2(+) and HD(+). Ab initio multireference configuration interaction calculations were performed on both barrierless PESs (where the minimum energy path involves the insertion of the O atom into the middle of the H2(+) bond), and suitable analytical expressions were developed for the first time and used in quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) calculations. k(1) ≈ 3k(2) independent of the isotopic variant, k(H2(+)) > k(HD(+)) > k(D2(+)) for , and the intermolecular and intramolecular isotopic effects are essentially independent of T. Comparison with the Langevin-Gioumousis-Stevenson (LGS) simple capture model shows that these results are similar to the QCT ones, especially for ; and the isotopic effects are coincident with the QCT ones for both reactions. For O + H2(+), σ(1) ≈ 3σ(2) at Ecol≤ 0.10 eV, and σ(1) = 1.5σ(2) at 0.40 and 0.50 eV. The larger value of σ(1(2)A'') with respect to σ(1(2)A') arises from the larger value of bmax(1(2)A'') with respect to bmax(1(2)A'), and this results from the more attractive character of the former PES. Besides, the reaction probabilities are quite large [0.78-0.98 (1(2)A'') and 0.78-0.93 (1(2)A')], and the decreasing trend of both cross-sections as Ecol increases arises from the barrierless character of both PESs. We expect that these results (in particular, the competition between proton transfer and hydrogen atom transfer) will encourage experimentalists to carry out investigations on this interesting reaction.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
