Observation of enhanced rate coefficients in the H$_2^+$ + H$_2$ $\rightarrow$ H$_3^+$ + H reaction at low collision energies (1612.07232v1)

Published 21 Dec 2016 in physics.chem-ph

Abstract: The energy dependence of the rate coefficient of the H$2+\ + {\rm H}_2 \rightarrow {\rm H}_3+ + {\rm H}$ reaction has been measured in the range of collision energies between $k\mathrm{B}\cdot 10$ K and $k_\mathrm{B}\cdot 300$ mK. A clear deviation of the rate coefficient from the value expected on the basis of the classical Langevin-capture behavior has been observed at collision energies below $k_\mathrm{B}\cdot 1$ K, which is attributed to the joint effects of the ion-quadrupole and Coriolis interactions in collisions involving ortho-H$_2$ molecules in the $j = 1$ rotational level, which make up 75% of the population of the neutral H$_2$ molecules in the experiments. The experimental results are compared to very recent predictions by Dashevskaya, Litvin, Nikitin and Troe (J. Chem. Phys., in press), with which they are in agreement.
