要旨

We present the results of nonadiabatic quantum wave packet calculations to analyze the experimental transition state spectra for the I(2P3/2,1/2) + XI (X = H and D) hydrogen exchange reactions based on photodetachment of the IXI− anion. We developed (3 × 3) diabatic potential energy surfaces that can reasonably describe the nonadiabatic transitions induced by spin–orbit interactions. A good agreement was obtained between theory and experiment and it was found that nonadiabatic transitions play a role in the reaction dynamics. We also found that the calculated spectra showed very sharp resonance states with a vibrational bonding character, where the resonance wavefunctions are highly localized around the transition state region. Our calculated results suggest that one may experimentally detect these vibrational bonding resonances using time-domain transition state spectroscopy techniques since those states have picosecond-order lifetimes.

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.
