Abstract

Reactions of both main group and transition metal atomic ions with H2, D2, and HD have been studied as a function of kinetic energy by using guided ion beam mass spectrometry. For most ions, the observed behavior falls into several distinct groups (statistical, direct and impulsive) that can be used to characterize the potential energy surfaces for the reactions. These categories facilitate the comparison of the reactivity of the main group metals to that for the transition metals.
