Dynamics Study of the O2(v) + HO2 Atmospheric Reaction

“…6,18,19,21,27,28,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36] However, remarkably absent from this progress list is HO 2 , which is an important natural species of the atmosphere. In fact, the HO 2 radical is a key intermediate for many chemical reactions such as those involved in atmospheric chemistry, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] stratospheric formation and destruction of ozone, [45][46][47] and photochemical air pollution. [48][49][50][51][52] An investigation of the collisional properties of highly vibrationally excited O 2 with HO 2 radicals is therefore of great interest.…”

Communication: Covalent nature of X⋯H2O (X = F, Cl, and Br) interactions

“…6 In this Communication, we focus on the pre-reaction complexes for gas-phase reactions between open-shell halogen atoms and H 2 O. These reactions are important in atmospheric and interstellar chemistry, and have attracted much recent experimental [7][8][9][10][11][12] and theoretical attention. 6,[13][14][15][16][17] Due to the free-radical nature of halogen atoms, their interactions with other molecules are far more complex than the common van der Waals interactions between closed-shell molecules.…”

Internal Energy Distributions of OH Products in the Reaction of O(3PJ) with HSiCl3

“…The observation of anomalously high populations in the rotationally excited states of OH in its ground vibrational state has led to the suggestion of a possible presence of a reaction intermediate; a pentacoordinate silicon-centered collision complex. 5,6 A recent study 8 of the reaction 3 also revealed a substantial rotational excitation extending to the limit of available reaction exoergicity at each vibrational level, along with the strong vibrational population inversion (P(υ"=0): P(υ"=1): P (υ"=2) = 0:9:1).…”
