Thermal rates for the C(3P) + O2(3Σg−) ↔ CO(1Σ+)+ O(1D)/O(3P) reaction are investigated over a wide temperature range based on quasi classical trajectory (QCT) simulations on 3-dimensional, reactive potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the 1A′, (2)1A′, 1A′′, 3A′ and 3A′′ states. These five states are the energetically low-lying states of CO2 and their PESs are computed at the MRCISD+Q/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory using a state-average CASSCF reference wave function. Analysis of the different electronic states for the CO2 → CO + O dissociation channel rationalizes the topography of this region of the PESs. The forward rates from QCT simulations match measurements between 15 K and 295 K whereas the equilibrium constant determined from the forward and reverse rates is consistent with that derived from statistical mechanics at high temperature. Vibrational relaxation, O + CO(ν = 1,2) → O + CO(ν = 0), is found to involve both, non-reactive and reactive processes. The contact time required for vibrational relaxation to take place is τ ≥ 150 fs for non-reacting and τ ≥ 330 fs for reacting (oxygen atom exchange) trajectories and the two processes are shown to probe different parts of the global potential energy surface. In agreement with experiments, low collision energy reactions for the C(3P) + O2(3Σg−, ν = 0) → CO(1Σ+) + O(1D) lead to CO(1Σ+, ν′ = 17) with an onset at Ec ∼ 0.15 eV, dominated by the 1A′ surface with contributions from the 3A′ surface. Finally, the barrier for the COA(1Σ+) + OB(3P) → COB(1Σ+) + OA(3P) atom exchange reaction on the 3A′ PES yields a barrier of ∼7 kcal mol−1 (0.300 eV), consistent with an experimentally reported value of 6.9 kcal mol−1 (0.299 eV).

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.
