Coriolis coupling as a source of non-RRKM effects in ozone molecule: Lifetime statistics of vibrationally excited ozone molecules.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A theory that describes the non-RRKM (non-Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus) effects in the lifetime statistics of activated ozone molecules is derived. The non-RRKM effects are shown to originate due to the diffusive energy exchange between vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom in ozone molecule. The lifetime statistics is found to be intramolecular diffusion controlled at long times. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the direct MD simulations of lifetime statistics.

Coriolis coupling as a source of non-RRKM effects in triatomic near-symmetric top molecules: Diffusive intramolecular energy exchange between rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom.
A classical theory is proposed to describe the non-RRKM effects in activated asymmetric top triatomic molecules observed numerically in classical molecular dynamics simulations of ozone. The Coriolis coupling is shown to result in an effective diffusive energy exchange between the rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. A stochastic differential equation is obtained for the K-component o...
متن کاملDoes symmetry drive isotopic anomalies in ozone isotopomer formation?
Gao and Marcus (1) presented a modified Rice, Ramsperger, Kassel, Marcus (RRKM)– based theory to explain the strange and unconventional ozone isotope effect that has puzzled scientists for years. In earlier studies, mass spectrometric (2, 3) and diode laser (4) measurements of ozone isotopomers in “scrambled” oxygen mixtures pointed toward a symmetry origin for isotope fractionation. Kinetic st...
متن کاملOn the theory of the strange and unconventional isotopic effects in ozone formation
The strange mass-independent isotope effect for the enrichment of ozone and the contrastingly unconventional strong mass-dependent effect of individual reaction rate constants are studied using statistical ~RRKM!-based theory with a hindered-rotor transition state. Individual rate constant ratios of recombination reactions and enrichments are calculated. The theory assumes ~1! an ‘‘h-effect,’’ ...
متن کاملStability and Dissociation Dynamics of the Low-Lying Excited States of Ozone
This paper reports an investigation of the stability and dissociation dynamics of the low-lying singlet and triplet states of ozone (O3) using coincident photoelectron and photofragment translational spectroscopy. These experiments provide an upper limit of 0.5 μs for the lifetime of the low-lying excited states of O3. The A2 and B2 states dissociate with nearly all available energy appearing i...
متن کاملAn intramolecular theory of the mass-independent isotope effect for ozone. II. Numerical implementation at low pressures using a loose transition state
A theory is described for the variation in the rate constants for formation of different ozone isotopomers from oxygen atoms and molecules at low pressures. The theory is implemented using a simplified description which treats the transition state as loose. The two principal features of the theory are a phase space partitioning of the transition states of the two exit channels after formation o...
