The stereodynamics calculation of F + HO → HF + O(1D) was carried out using the quasi-classical trajectory method on the 11A′ potential energy surface provided by Gomez-Carrasco et al. (Chem. Phys. Lett. 2007, 435, 188). The effect of the collision energy, isotopic substitution, and different initial ro-vibrational states on the reaction is discussed. It is found that for the initial ground state of HO (v = 0, j = 0), the degree of the forward scattering and the product polarizations remarkably change as the collision energy varies. Isotopic effect leads to the increase of alignment and decrease of orientation of product rotational angular momentum. Moreover, the P(θr) distribution and P(φr) distribution change noticeably by varying the initial vibrational number. The initial vibrational excitation plays a more important role in the enhancement of alignment and orientation distribution of j′ for the title reaction. Although the influence of the initial rotational excitation effect on the aligned and oriented distribution of product is not stronger than that of the initial vibrational excitation effect, the initial rotational excitation makes the alignment of the product rotational angular momentum decrease to some extent. The probabilities show that the reactivity of the title reaction strongly depends on the initial vibrational state.

Reactant vibrational energy in K + H2 reaction is significantly more effective in promoting the reaction than translational energy.

In this work, using a recently derived refined potential energy surface for [Formula: see text] thiophosgene, we perform large scale vibrational calculations to explore the IVR characteristics and vibrational mixing at very high vibrational excitation energies, ranging up to the dissociation limit (at [Formula: see text]20,000[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]). The results from our calculations have been compared to the conclusions based on the available experimentally measured dataset (obtained from SEP and LIF spectra) as well as to the conclusions from the analyses by other authors using local coupling models.

Abstract. Accurate reference spectroscopic information for the water molecule from the microwave to the near-ultraviolet is of paramount importance in atmospheric research. A semi-empirical potential energy surface for the ground electronic state of H216O has been created by refining almost 4000 experimentally determined energy levels. These states extend into regions with large values of rotational and vibrational excitation. For all states considered in our refinement procedure, which extend to 37 000 cm−1 and J=20 (total angular momentum), the average root-mean-square deviation is approximately 0.05 cm−1. This potential energy surface offers significant improvements when compared to recent models by accurately predicting states possessing high values of J. This feature will offer significant improvements in calculated line positions for high-temperature spectra where transitions between high J states become more prominent. Combining this potential with the latest dipole moment surface for water vapour, a line list has been calculated which extends reliably to 37 000 cm−1. Obtaining reliable results in the ultraviolet is of special importance as it is a challenging spectral region for the water molecule both experimentally and theoretically. Comparisons are made against several experimental sources of cross sections in the near-ultraviolet and discrepancies are observed. In the near-ultraviolet our calculations are in agreement with recent atmospheric retrievals and the upper limit obtained using broadband spectroscopy by Wilson et al. (2016, p. 194), but they do not support recent suggestions of very strong absorption in this region.

We report a new global potential energy surface (PES) for H 2 CO, based on precise fitting of roughly 67 000 MRCI/cc-pVTZ energies. This PES describes the global minimum, the cis - and trans -HCOH isomers, and barriers relevant to isomerization, formation of the molecular (H 2 +CO) and radical (H+HCO) products, and the loose so-called roaming transition-state saddle point. The key features of the PES are reviewed and compared with a previous PES, denoted by PES04, based on five local fits that are ‘stitched’ together by switching functions (Zhang et al. 2004 J. Phys. Chem. A 108 , 8980–8986 ( doi:10.1021/jp048339l )). Preliminary quasi-classical trajectory calculations are performed at the total energy of 36 233 cm −1 (103 kcal mol −1 ), relative to the H 2 CO global minimum, using the new PES, with a particular focus on roaming dynamics. When compared with the results from PES04, the new PES findings show similar rotational distributions, somewhat more roaming and substantially higher H 2 vibrational excitation. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Theoretical and computational studies of non-equilibrium and non-statistical dynamics in the gas phase, in the condensed phase and at interfaces’.
