摘要:

最近的研究表明,在低温下,量子力学隧穿可以增强某些涉及轻原子的复杂形成过程。在这里,我们进行了动力学实验上的活化C(3 P)+ H2O反应,观察到一个令人惊讶的反应性增加低于100 K,只有部分再现的效果时,水被取代的氘代类似物。H-和D-原子形成的产物测量使我们能够量化复合物稳定化对总速率的贡献,同时确认氘的隧穿效率较低。这一结果,这是通过中间复合物和过渡态的统计计算验证了模拟星际水丰度的重要后果,并表明隧道机制可能是无处不在的冷密云。

英文摘要:

Recent studies of neutral gas-phase reactions characterized by barriers show that certain complex forming processes involving light atoms are enhanced by quantum mechanical tunneling at low temperature. Here, we performed kinetic experiments on the activated C(3P) + H2O reaction, observing a surprising reactivity increase below 100 K, an effect which is only partially reproduced when water is replaced by its deuterated analogue. Product measurements of H- and D-atom formation allowed us to quantify the contribution of complex stabilization to the total rate while confirming the lower tunneling efficiency of deuterium. This result, which is validated through statistical calculations of the intermediate complexes and transition states has important consequences for simulated interstellar water abundances and suggests that tunneling mechanisms could be ubiquitous in cold dense clouds.
