In this work, the detailed reaction mechanism of the astrochemically relevant exoergic and barrierless H + LiH+ → H2 + Li+ reaction is investigated by both time-dependent wave packet and quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) methods on the ab initio electronic ground state potential energy surface reported by Martinazzo et al. [Martinazzo et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2003, 119, 11241]. The interference terms due to the coherence between the partial waves are quantified. When plotted along the scattering angle they reveal interference of constructive or destructive nature. Significant interference was found in the differential cross-section (DCS) which is a symbolic of the non-statistical nature of the reaction. This is further complemented by calculating the lifetime of the collision complex by the QCT method. It is found that the reaction follows a direct stripping mechanism at higher collision energies and yields forward scattered products from collisions involving high total angular momentum. At low collision energies, the reaction follows a mixed direct/indirect mechanism but with a dominant indirect contribution. The product state-resolved DCSs reveal that two opposite mechanisms co-exist, both at low and high collision energies. The microscopic scattering mechanism of the reaction is found to be unaffected by the ro-vibrational excitation of the reagent diatom.

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.
