Gas Phase Reactions of Some Positive Ions with Atomic and Molecular Oxygen and Nitric Oxide at 300 K
摘要:
Rate coefficients and product ion distributions have been determined for the reactions of HCNH+, HC3N+, H2C3N+, H2O+, N-2(+), HCO+, and HCO2+ with O atoms in a selected ion flow tube at 295 +/- 5 K. Only two of these ions, HC3N+ and N-2(+), were found to react with atomic oxygen, and both ions exhibited multiple reaction channels. Reactions with O atoms may be relevant to synthetic processes occurring in some interstellar clouds. Because of the application of the N + NO titration to determine O atom concentrations, the rate coefficient and product distribution for the reaction of each ion with O-2 and NO was also measured.
Isomers and reactivity of C3N+: an experimental study
摘要:
The C3N+ ion, generated by electron impact on HC3N and C4N2 and as a product in several ion-molecule reactions, was found to exist in two isomeric forms: CCCN+ and cylic C3N+. These forms were distinguished by their different reactivities with a range of neutral reagents in a selected-ion flow tube (SIFT). Isomeric identification was made by reference to existing ab initio calculations. The most reactive isomer, CCCN+, was the major form (greater-than-or-equal-to 90%) of the C3N+ ion from all sources of production examined and was found to undergo collision-rate reactions with most of the neutral molecules studied. c-C3N+ was much less reactive, which implies an activation barrier in its reactions as it is the higher energy form. Product distributions are reported for the reactions of CCCN+, and rate coefficients for the reactions of both isomers with H-2, CH4, NH3, H2O, N2, O2, CO, C2H2, HCN, CO2, and C2N2 at 300 +/- 5 K are also given.

The reactions of the cations CN+, HCN+, HCNH+, HC3N+, HC3NH+, H3+, H2O+, H3O+, N2+, CO+, HCO+, O2+, CO2+, HCO2+, and C2H2+ with atomic and molecular nitrogen have been characterized using a selected ion flow tube (SIFT) operating at room temperature. Rate coefficient and branching ratio data are reported for all ion–neutral reactions studied. Constraints arising from spin conservation considerations are found to be unimportant in cation-N atom processes.
