Abstract
Dissociating autoionizing states for dissociative recombination of electrons with N2H+ have been calculated using block diagonalization. Multi-reference CI calculations for collinear N2H and N2H+ were performed to assess the branching ratio to the product channels. The effects of the strong Rydberg-valence mixing in the N2H excited states were disentangled from the changes in the molecular orbitals arising solely from N2 bond stretching and breaking. The results suggest that N2+H should be favored over NH+N, because of the absence of a favorable dissociating state for the N2 bond breaking.
