On the signal depletion induced by stretching excitation of methane in the reaction with the F atom
Literature Information
Yuan Cheng, Huilin Pan
Exciting a stretching mode of a chemical bond should help its breaking during a chemical reaction, according to conventional wisdom. In several recent studies of the reactions of stretch-excited methane (and isotopologues) with the F atom, counterintuitively, we found that the induced reactant vibrations instead inhibit the bond rupture and slow down the overall reaction rate. This intriguing observation has been qualitatively ascribed to the vibrationally induced steric effects of the reaction in previous reports. However, quantitative determination of the reactivity suppression in terms of reaction cross sections remains lacking. In this report, we scrutinize the physical meaning of this (product) signal depletion phenomenon and fill the gap. Through a systematic investigation we further elucidate the additional reaction dynamics information that can be retrieved from the depletion measurements. The resultant rotationally state-selected reaction cross sections for both the vibrational ground and excited states are presented, and the stereodynamical implications are delineated.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
