State-to-state inelastic scattering of OH by HI:A comparison with OH-HCI and OH-HBr

摘要

Relative state-to-state cross sections and steric asymmetries have been measured for the scattering process:OH (X 2II_(3/2),v=0,J=3/2,M_J=3/2,f)+HI (1SUM,v=0,J<4)->OH (X2II,v=0,OMEGA=1/2,J=1/2-5/2 and OMEGA=3/2,J=3/2-9/2,e/f)+HI,at 690 cm-1 collision energy.Comparison with the previously studied systems OH-HCl and OH-HBr reveals relevant features of the potential energy surfaces of these molecular systems.Some measured differences concerning the internal energy distribution after collision and the propensities for the impact with one or the other side of the OH molecule in scattering by HCl,HBr,and HI molecules are discussed.
