Abstract
The reactions
NH(a) + NH3(X̃) → products (1)
ND(a) + NH3(X̃) → products (2)
NH(a) + ND3(X̃) → products (3)
ND(a) + ND3(X̃) → products (4)
were studied in a quasi-static reaction cell at room temperature and pressures of 10 and 20mbar with He as the main carrier gas. The electronically excited reactants NH(a) and ND(a) were generated by laser-flash photolysis of HN3 and DN3, respectively, at λ = 308nm and detected by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). Also the ground state species NH(X) and ND(X) as products were detected by LIF.
From the measured concentration-time profiles of NH(a) and ND(a) under pseudo-first order conditions, the following rate constants were obtained:
NH(a) + NH3(X̃) → products (1)
ND(a) + NH3(X̃) → products (2)
NH(a) + ND3(X̃) → products (3)
ND(a) + ND3(X̃) → products (4)

(X̃) radicals (i = 0, 1, 2), whereas quenching processes such as NH(a) + ND3 → NH(X) + ND3 are of minor importance (1%). The isotope exchange NH(a) + ND3 → ND(X) + NHD2 is negligible, and the corresponding channel on the singlet surface NH(a) + ND3(X
~) → ND(a) + NHD2(X̃) contributes with 1% to the overall NH(a) depletion in that reaction. The experimental findings are discussed in terms of a chemical activation mechanism by means of statistical rate theory.
摘要:在室温和10到20mbar的压力下,在He作为主要载气体的条件下,通过激光闪光光解HN3和DN3生成电子激发态反应物NH(a)和ND(a),并通过激光诱导荧光(LIF)进行检测。同时,通过LIF检测到了NH(X)和ND(X)作为产物的基态物种。
通过伪一级条件下测量的NH(a)和ND(a)浓度-时间曲线,得到了以下速率常数:
k1 = (9.1 ± 0.9) × 10^13 cm^3mol^-1s^-1
k2 = (9.6 ± 1.0) × 10^13 cm^3mol^-1s^-1
k3 = (8.0 ± 1.0) × 10^13 cm^3mol^-1s^-1
k4 = (7.2 ± 0.8) × 10^13 cm^3mol^-1s^-1.
主要产物是相应的NH_iD_2−_i(X̃)自由基(i = 0, 1, 2),而NH(a) + ND3 → NH(X) + ND3等猝灭过程的重要性较小(1%)。同位素交换NH(a) + ND3 → ND(X) + NHD2可以忽略不计,而在单线态表面NH(a) + ND3(X̃) → ND(a) + NHD2(X̃)通道对整体NH(a)耗尽的贡献为1%。实验结果通过统计速率理论讨论了化学活化机制。
