A coupled-cluster ab initio study of triplet C3H2 and the neutral–neutral reaction to interstellar C3H
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the initially formed C3H2 collision complexes of molecular beam experiments ab initio calculations are presented. Resolving energetics and properties of these intermediates is essential for the understanding of the reaction of C~P! with C2H2 to form interstellar cyclic and linear isomers of C3H. Computed reaction energies agree with results from molecular beam experiments. The combination of crossed molecular beam experiments and ab initio calculations allows us to identify two reaction channels for the carbon–hydrogen exchange and to explain astronomical observations of a higher c-C3H to 1-C3H ratio in dark clouds as compared to hotter envelopes of carbon stars. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~97!03110-3#

A combined experimental and theoretical study on the formation of interstellar C3H isomers.
The reaction of ground-state carbon atoms with acetylene was studied under single-collision conditions in crossed beam experiments to investigate the chemical dynamics of forming cyclic and linear C3H isomers (c-C3H and l-C3H, respectively) in interstellar environments via an atom-neutral reaction. Combined state-of-the-art ab initio calculations and experimental identification of the carbon-hy...
متن کاملObservation of tricarbon-hydride C3H
The reaction between ground state carbon atoms, C~P j), and acetylene, C2H2~ (g ), was studied at an average collision energy of ~8.460.3! kJ mol using the crossed molecular beam technique. The product angular distribution and time-of-flight spectra of m/z537, i.e., C3H, were recorded. Only m/z537 was detected, but no signal from the thermodynamically accessible C3~ (g )1H2( (g ) channel. Forwa...

The energetics of the atom neutral reaction to form isomers are investiC(3P j ) ] 2 33 gated by ab initio calculations. In cold molecular clouds, the computed reaction endothermicity of 5.8 kJ mol~1 to yield the linear isomer indicates that the reaction energy cannot be covered by the reacl-C3H tantsÏ averaged translational energy of about 0.08 kJ mol~1. This suggests that only the deuterated l...

متن کاملCoupled-cluster ab initio investigation of singlet/triplet CH2S isomers and the reaction of atomic carbon with hydrogen sulfide to HCS/HSC
The reaction of C(P) with H2S to HCS/HSC isomers is investigated with high level ab initio methods. Besides reaction energies to form HCS/HSC, the energetics and properties of different singlet/triplet H2CS reaction intermediates are studied. The combination of ab initio theory and crossed molecular beams experiments leads to the conclusion that mainly HCS is formed under single collision condi...
