摘要:

在连续超音速流反应器中,以N(4S)+ OH(X2 ~+)和N(4S)+ CN(X2 ~+)反应为参考,采用相对速率技术,在56 K < T < 296 K范围内,测定了星际间N(4S)+ CH(X2 ~+)反应的速率常数.过量浓度的原子氮产生的拉瓦尔喷嘴和CH和OH自由基的上游的微波放电方法,通过原位脉冲激光光解合适的前体分子。同时,基于HCN和HNC的13 A '和13 A”态的精确全局势能面,通过分级结构方案,对标题反应进行了量子动力学计算。两个绝热势能面都是无势垒的,每一个都有两个深势阱,这表明该反应是由复合物形成机制主导的。的实验和理论工作是inexcellent协议,预测一个积极的温度依赖性的速率常数,在较早的实验工作在低温下。使用密云模型测试了新的低温速率常数对星际N2形成的影响,得到的N2丰度比以前预测的低10- 20%。

英文摘要:

Rate constants for the potentially important interstellar N(4S) + CH(X2Πr) reaction have been measured in a continuous supersonic flow reactor over the range 56 K < T < 296 K using the relative rate technique employing both the N(4S) + OH(X2Πi) and N(4S) + CN(X2Σ+) reactions as references. Excess concentrations of atomic nitrogen were produced by the microwave discharge method upstream of the Laval nozzle and CH and OH radicals were created by the in-situ pulsed laser photolysis of suitable precursor molecules. In parallel, quantum dynamics calculations of the title reaction have been performed based on accurate global potential energy surfaces for the 13A' and 13A" states of HCN and HNC, brought about through a hierarchical construction scheme. Both adiabatic potential energy surfaces are barrierless, each one having two deep potential wells suggesting that this reaction is dominated by a complex-forming mechanism. The experimental and theoretical work are inexcellent agreement, predicting a positive temperature dependence of the rate constant, in contrast to earlier experimental work at low temperature. The effects of the new low temperature rate constants on interstellar N2 formation are tested using a dense cloud model, yielding N2 abundances 10-20 % lower than previously predicted.
