Abstract
The reaction C( 3 P J)+ C 2 D 2( X 1Σ g +) → C 3 D+ D( 2 S 1/2) has been studied with pulsed, crossed, supersonic molecular beams, in the range of relative translational energies ε tr=4–240 meV. The D( 2 S 1/2) product has been detected by laser-induced fluorescence. The reaction is found to be slightly exoergic, with no barrier. Relative integral cross-sections are proportional to ( ε tr) −0.72±0.03 below ε tr=50 meV. These findings, along with energetics considerations, suggest that the analogous C( 3 P J)+ C 2 H 2( X 1Σ g +) → C 3 H+ H( 2 S 1/2) reaction is also a barrierless process.
