A combined crossed-beam and theoretical investigation of radical-radical reaction dynamics of O(P3)+t-C4H9→OH+iso-C4H8

Abstract: The oxidation reaction dynamics of a saturated hydrocarbon radical t-butyl leading to the isobutene +OH (X 2Pi:v"=0, 1, 2) products in the gas phase were first investigated by applying a combination of high-resolution spectroscopy in a crossed-beam configuration and ab initio calculations. By comparing the nascent OH populations with the statistical theory, the reaction mechanism at the molecular level can be described in terms of two competing dynamic pathways: the major direct abstraction process leading to … Show more

“…10 The radical-radical dynamics of O( 3 P 2 ) + t-C 4 H 9 → OH + iso-C 4 H 8 under crossed beam conditions was studied by Choi and coworkers. 11 Density functional theoretic (DFT) calculations using the complete basisset (CBS) have been carried out, with special attention to the reaction pathways and the major product channels. Their microscopic kinetics has been followed within the framework of Rice-RamspergerKassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory.…”

“…The nascent internal distributions of the OH products demonstrate substantial rovibrational excitations without any noticeable spin-orbit or L-doublet propensities. [17,18] The population analyses also reveal that the ground vibrational level (u" = 0) is composed of bimodal low-and high-rotational components, whereas the excited vibrational levels (u" = 1 and 2), which are significantly populated, exhibit unimodal distributions.…”

“…Recently, Choi and co-workers examined the exothermic OH channel (5) utilizing high-resolution, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in a crossed-beam configuration. [17,18] The nascent rovibrational distributions of the OH products obtained under single-collision conditions were found to be described in terms of two competing dynamic pathways: the major direct abstraction process leading to the inversion of the vibrational populations, and the minor short-lived addition-complex forming process responsible for the hot rotational distributions.…”
