Abstract

Quasi-classical trajectory calculations based on a full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface have been performed at different collision energies to analyze the role of symmetric (ν1 = 1) and antisymmetric (ν3 = 1) stretch modes of methane in reactivity and dynamics of the O(3P) + CH4 (νi = 0, 1; i = 1, 3) gas-phase reactions. Both CH stretch modes increase reactivity with respect to the methane vibrational ground-state by factors between 1.5 and 3. Additionally, the ν1 = 1 mode is slightly more reactive than the ν3 = 1 mode by factors between 1.4 and 1.1 depending on the collision energy. Both stretch modes give similar pictures of OH product vibrational and angular distributions. The former finding shows inverted OH (0, 1) vibrational population, discarding mode selectivity, and the latter shows a shift of the scattering angle from backward to sideways with the vibrational excitation and therefore a change in the mechanism. For the dynamic properties analyzed, the theoretical results for the ν3 = 1 mode reproduce the experimental evidence, while those for the ν1 = 1 mode await confirmation.

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.
