- Abstract
- Statistical adiabatic channel model/classical trajectory (SACM/CT) calculations of the dissociation/recombination dynamics of hydrogen peroxide, H(2)O(2) double left right arrow 2HO, have been performed on an ab initio potential energy surface by Kuhn, Rizzo, Luckhaus, Quack, and Suhm (J. Chem. Phys. 1999, 111, 2565). Specific rate constants k( E, J), thermal rate constants k(infinity)( T), and lifetime distributions are determined. After averaging over J, the derived k( E, J) are in quantitative agreement with non-exponential time-profiles of HO formation recorded after overtone excitation of H(2)O(2) near the dissociation threshold by Scherer and Zewail ( J. Chem. Phys. 1987, 87, 97). The thermal high pressure rate constants for HO recombination agree with experimental data as well and can be represented by k(rec,infinity)/10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) approximate to [0.376 (298 K/T)(0.47) + 0.013 (T/298 K)(0.74)] over the range 60-1500 K. Non-statistical lifetime distributions are suggested not to have been of major relevance for the available experiment.
