One- and Two-proton Transfer Reactions with Vibrational Nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend a semiclassical model of transfer reactions to the case in which one of the collision partners is a vibrational nucleus. The model is applied to oneand two-proton stripping reactions in the Cl + Mo system, for which a rapid transition from normal to anomalous slope in the two proton transfer reaction at energies around the Coulomb barrier is experimentally observed. This behavior is satisfactorily reproduced by the present extension of the model. PACS number(s): 25.70.Hi, 24.10.Ht

Mixed Quantum/Classical Dynamics of Hydrogen Transfer Reactions
This article presents the methodology we have developed for the simulation of hydrogen transfer reactions, including multiple proton transfer and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. The central method discussed is molecular dynamics with quantum transitions (MDQT), which is a mixed quantum/classical surface hopping method that incorporates nonadiabatic transitions between the proton vib...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics with quantum transitions for proton transfer: Quantum treatment of hydrogen and donor–acceptor motions
The mixed quantum/classical molecular dynamics with quantum transitions ~MDQT! method is extended to treat the donor–acceptor vibrational motion as well as the hydrogen motion quantum mechanically for proton transfer reactions. The quantum treatment of both the hydrogen and the donor–acceptor motions requires the calculation of two-dimensional vibrational wave functions. The MDQT surface hoppin...
متن کاملDerivation of rate expressions for nonadiabatic proton-coupled electron transfer reactions in solution
This paper presents a derivation of rate expressions for nonadiabatic proton-coupled electron transfer ~PCET! reactions in solution. The derivation is based on a multistate continuum theory in which the solvent is described by a dielectric continuum, the solute is represented by a multistate valence bond model, and the transferring proton~s! are treated quantum mechanically. In this formulation...

متن کاملParallel proton transfer pathways in aqueous acid-base reactions.
We study the mechanism of proton transfer (PT) between the photoacid 8-hydroxy-1,3, 6-pyrenetrisulfonic acid (HPTS) and the base chloroacetate in aqueous solution. We investigate both proton and deuteron transfer reactions in solutions with base concentrations ranging from 0.25 M to 4 M. Using femtosecond midinfrared spectroscopy, we probe the vibrational responses of HPTS, its conjugate photob...
