Research Abstract |
Chemical reaction dynamics of elementary gas phase reactions have been studied via Dopplerresolved polarization spectroscopy. By using this technique, differential cross sections can be measured state-resolved manner. Furthermore, this method enables us to measure the polarization of the rotational angular momentum of reaction products. Collision-free diatomic product molecules were probed with high-resolution dye laser excitation and its Doppler-broadened line profiles were analyzed to extract the information of vector properties such as differential cross sections and rotational angular momentum polarization, We investigated the reaction of O(^1D) atom with some several simple molecules. Following results are shown. 1) For H_2 reaction, differential cross sections and collision energy dependence of reaction probability strongly depend on ro-vibrational states of product OH molecules.

io potential energy surfaces. 2) For N_2O reaction, efficient energy randomization within all the degrees of freedom of reaction intermediates leads apparent statistical ro-vibrational state distribution of product NO molecules despite the absence of a deep potential well. Such a behavior is generally interpreted in terms of intermolecular vibrational-energy redistribution, with the emphasis of the light (hydrogen) atom effect. 3) For C_2H_4 and C_2H_6 reaction, the difference of the structural change of reactive intermediates after the insertion of 0 atom forming alcohol type intermediates is reflected in the difference of the polarization of rotational angular momentum of product OH molecules. 4) For H_2O reaction, the main reaction path is an insertion of O atom into HO bond of H_2O forming HOGH as an intermediate. To obtain such findings becomes possible only by the use of the state-resolved polarized Doppler spectroscopy. In addition, some of the findings in this study give new understandings which are opposite to the previous ones based on insufficient state-resolved measurements. The study elucidating elementary bimolecular reactions in this manner is essential for the fundamental understanding of chemical reaction dynamics. Less
