Abstract

The formation of complex <TEX>$XeHCl^+$</TEX> in the collision-induced reaction of <TEX>$Xe^+$</TEX> with HCl has been studied by use of classical dynamics procedures using the London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato empirical potential energy surfaces. A small fraction of trajectories on the <TEX>$Xe^+$</TEX> + HCl and Xe + <TEX>$HCl^+$</TEX> surfaces lead to the formation of complex <TEX>$XeHCl^+$</TEX> with life-times of 1-2 ps which is long enough to survive many rotations before redissociating back to the reactant state. The formation of complex <TEX>$XeHCl^+$</TEX> occurs mainly from collision angle of <TEX>$\Theta$</TEX> = <TEX>${45^{\circ}}$</TEX>.
