    Notes: The chemical dynamics to form cyanopropyne, CH3CCCN (X 1A1), and cyanoallene, H2CCCHCN (X 1A′), via the neutral–neutral reaction of the cyano radical, CN (X 2Σ+), with methylacetylene, CH3CCH (X 1A1), is investigated under single collision conditions in a crossed molecular beam experiment at a collision energy of 24.7 kJ mol−1. The laboratory angular distribution and time-of-flight spectra of the C4H3N products are recorded at m/e=65, 64, 63, and 62. The reaction of d3-methylacetylene, CD3CCH (X 1A1), with CN radicals yields reactive scattering signal at m/e=68 and m/e=67 demonstrating that two distinct H(D) atom loss channels are open. Forward-convolution fitting of the laboratory data reveal that the reaction dynamics are indirect and governed by an initial attack of the CN radical to the π electron density of the β carbon atom of the methylacetylene molecule to form a long lived CH3CCHCN collision complex. The latter decomposes via two channels, i.e., H atom loss from the CH3 group to yield cyanoallene, and H atom loss from the acetylenic carbon atom to form cyanopropyne. The explicit identification of the CN vs H exchange channel and two distinct product isomers cyanoallene and cyanopropyne strongly suggests the title reaction as a potential route to form these isomers in dark molecular clouds, the outflow of dying carbon stars, hot molecular cores, as well as the atmosphere of hydrocarbon rich planets and satellites such as the Saturnian moon Titan. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reaction between ground state carbon atoms, C(3Pj), and acetylene, C2H2(X 1Σg+), is studied at three collision energies between 8.8 and 45.0 kJ mol−1 using the crossed molecular beams technique. Product angular distributions and time-of-flight spectra of C3H at m/e=37 are recorded. Forward-convolution fitting of the data yields weakly polarized center-of-mass angular flux distributions decreasingly forward scattered with respect to the carbon beam as the collision energy rises from 8.8 to 28.0 kJ mol−1, and isotropic at 45.0 kJ mol−1. Reaction dynamics inferred from the experimental data and ab initio calculations on the triplet C3H2 and doublet C3H potential energy surface suggest two microchannels initiated by addition of C(3Pj) either to one acetylenic carbon to form s-trans propenediylidene or to two carbon atoms to yield triplet cyclopropenylidene via loose transition states located at their centrifugal barriers. Propenediylidene rotates around its B/C axis and undergoes [2,3]-H-migration to propargylene, followed by C–H bond cleavage via a symmetric exit transition state to l-C3H(X 2Πj) and H. Direct stripping dynamics contribute to the forward-scattered second microchannel to form c-C3H(X 2B2) and H. This contribution is quenched with rising collision energy. The explicit identification of l-C3H(X 2Πj) and c-C3H(X 2B2) under single collision conditions represents a one-encounter mechanism to build up hydrocarbon radicals in the interstellar medium and resembles a more realistic synthetic route to interstellar C3H isomers than hitherto postulated ion–molecule reactions. Relative reaction cross sections to the linear versus cyclic isomer correlate with actual astronomical observations and explain a higher [c-C3H]/[l-C3H] ratio in the molecular cloud TMC-1 ((approximate)1) as compared to the circumstellar envelope surrounding the carbon star IRC+10216 ((approximate)0.2) via the atom-neutral reaction C(3Pj)+C2H2(X 1Σg+). © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The chemical reaction dynamics to form phenylmethylacetylene, C6H5CCCH3(X 1A′), via reactive collisions of the phenyl radical C6H5(X 2A1) with methylacetylene, CH3CCH(X 1A1), are unraveled under single collision conditions in a crossed molecular beam experiment at a collision energy of 140 kJ mol−1. The laboratory angular distribution and time-of-flight spectra of C9H8+ at m/e=116 indicate the existence of a phenyl radical versus hydrogen replacement pathway. Partially deuterated methylacetylene, CH3CCD(X 1A1), was used to identify the site of the carbon–hydrogen bond cleavage. Only the loss of the acetylenic hydrogen atom was observed; the methyl group is conserved in the reaction. Electronic structure calculations reveal that the reaction has an entrance barrier of about 17 kJ mol−1. Forward-convolution fitting of our data shows that the chemical reaction dynamics are on the boundary between an osculating complex and a direct reaction and are governed by an initial attack of the C6H5 radical to the π electron density of the C1 carbon atom of the methylacetylene molecule to form a short lived, highly rovibrationally excited (C6H5)HCCCH3 intermediate. The latter loses a hydrogen atom to form the phenylmethylacetylene molecule on the 2A′ surface. The phenylallene isomer channel was not observed experimentally. The dynamics of the title reaction and the identification of the phenyl versus hydrogen exchange have a profound impact on combustion chemistry and chemical processes in outflows of carbon stars. For the first time, the reaction of phenyl radicals with acetylene and/or substituted acetylene is inferred experimentally as a feasible, possibly elementary reaction in the stepwise growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon precursor molecules and alkyl substituted species in high temperature environments such as photospheres of carbon stars and oxygen poor combustion systems. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The chemical reaction dynamics to form cyanobenzene C6H5CN(X 1A1), and perdeutero cyanobenzene C6D5CN(X 1A1) via the neutral–neutral reaction of the cyano radical CN(X 2Σ+), with benzene C6H6(X 1A1g) and perdeutero benzene C6D6(X 1A1g), were investigated in crossed molecular beam experiments at collision energies between 19.5 and 34.4 kJ mol−1. The laboratory angular distributions and time-of-flight spectra of the products were recorded at mass to charge ratios m/e=103–98 and 108–98, respectively. Forward-convolution fitting of our experimental data together with electronic structure calculations (B3LYP/6−311+G**) indicate that the reaction is without entrance barrier and governed by an initial attack of the CN radical on the carbon side to the aromatic π electron density of the benzene molecule to form a Cs symmetric C6H6CN(C6D6CN) complex. At all collision energies, the center-of-mass angular distributions are forward–backward symmetric and peak at π/2. This shape documents that the decomposing intermediate has a lifetime longer than its rotational period. The H/D atom is emitted almost perpendicular to the C6H5CN plane, giving preferentially sideways scattering. This experimental finding can be rationalized in light of the electronic structure calculations depicting a H–C–C angle of 101.2° in the exit transition state. The latter is found to be tight and located about 32.8 kJ mol−1 above the products. Our experimentally determined reaction exothermicity of 80–95 kJ mol−1 is in good agreement with the theoretically calculated one of 94.6 kJ mol−1. Neither the C6H6CN adduct nor the stable iso cyanobenzene isomer C6H5NC were found to contribute to the scattering signal. The experimental identification of cyanobenzene gives a strong background for the title reaction to be included with more confidence in reaction networks modeling the chemistry in dark, molecular clouds, outflow of dying carbon stars, hot molecular cores, as well as the atmosphere of hydrocarbon rich planets and satellites such as Saturn's moon Titan. This reaction might further present a barrierless route to the formation of heteropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via cyanobenzene in these extraterrestrial environments as well as hydrocarbon rich flames. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reaction between ground state carbon atoms, C(3Pj), and hydrogen sulfide, H2S(X1A1), was studied at four average collision energies between 16.7 and 42.8 kJ mol−1 using the crossed molecular beam technique. The reaction dynamics were deducted from time-of-flight spectra and from laboratory angular distributions combined with ab initio calculations. These data suggest that the reaction proceeds through an addition of C(3Pj) to the sulfur atom to form a triplet CSH2 van der Waals complex. Successive H atom migration on the triplet or singlet surface forms a thiohydroxycarbene intermediate, HCSH, which decomposes through a tight exit transition state to HCS(X2A′)+H(2S1/2). At lower collision energies, a weak L-L′ coupling leads to isotropic center-of-mass angular distributions. As the collision energy rises, the angular distributions show increasing forward scattering thereby documenting that the reaction goes through an osculating HCSH complex. Identification of the HCS isomer under single collision conditions is a potential one-step pathway by which to form organo-sulfur molecules in interstellar environments during the collision of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter, and in combustion flames of sulfur containing fuels. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The chemical dynamics to cyanoacetylene, HCCCN(X 1Σ+), formation via the neutral–neutral reaction of cyanogen, CN(X 2Σ+), with acetylene, C2H2(X 1Σg+), is investigated in a crossed molecular beams experiment at a collision energy of 21.1 kJ mol−1. The laboratory angular distribution and time-of-flight spectra of the HCCCN product are recorded at m/e=51 and 50. Forward-convolution fitting of our data reveals that the reaction dynamics are governed by an initial attack of the CN radical to the π electron density of the acetylene molecule to form a HCCHCN collision complex on the 2A′ surface. The four heavy atoms are rotating in plane almost perpendicular to the total angular momentum vector J around the C axis of the complex which undergoes C–H bond rupture through a tight transition state to HCCCN and H. The H atom is emitted almost perpendicular to the HCCCN axis to yield a nearly "sideways" peaking of T(θ). The explicit identification of the cyanoacetylene reaction product represents a solid background for the title reaction to be included with more confidence in reaction networks modeling the chemistry in dark, molecular clouds, outflow of dying carbon stars, hot molecular cores, as well as the atmosphere of hydrocarbon rich planets and satellites such as the Saturnian moon Titan. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reaction of atomic carbon, C(3Pj) with per-deutero benzene, C6D6 is investigated at an average collision energy of 32.1 kJ mol−1 using the crossed molecular beams technique combined with a universal mass spectrometric detector. Product angular distributions and time-of-flight spectra of C7D5 and C7D6 are recorded. Forward-convolution fitting of our time-of-flight data (TOFs) and laboratory angular distribution (LAB) together with high level electronic structure calculations on the singlet and triplet C7D6 potential energy surfaces are consistent with the formation of the per-deutero-1,2-didehydrocycloheptatrienyl radical, C7D5. No C7D6 adduct is found experimentally. Our investigations indicate that the carbon atom attacks the benzene molecule face without an entrance barrier to form an initial complex. This undergoes a ring opening to give triplet cycloheptatrienylidene as a C7D6 intermediate. The latter fragments without exit barrier via a C–D bond rupture to yield the per-deutero-1,2-didehydrocycloheptatrienyl isomer, C7D5, and a D atom. This barrierless route for the destruction of benzene may be involved in the synthesis of higher cyclic hydrocarbon derivatives in the interstellar medium, in outflows of dying carbon stars, in hydrocarbon-rich planetary atmospheres, as well as in oxygen-poor combustion flames. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The reaction dynamics to form the 1-cyano-1-methylallene isomer CNCH3CCCH2 in its 1A′ ground state via the radical–closed shell reaction of the cyano radical CN(X 2Σ+) with dimethylacetylene CH3CCCH3 (X 1A1′) are unraveled in a crossed molecular beam experiment at a collision energy of 20.8 kJ mol−1 together with state-of-the-art electronic structure and Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) calculations. Forward convolution fitting of the laboratory angular distribution together with the time-of-flight spectra verify that the reaction is indirect and proceeds by addition of the CN radical to the π orbital to form a cis/trans CH3CNC(Double Bond)CCH3 radical intermediate. This decomposes via a rather lose exit transition state located only 6–7 kJ mol−1 above the products to CNCH3CCCH2 and atomic hydrogen. The best fit of the center-of-mass angular distribution is forward–backward symmetric and peaks at π/2 documenting that the fragmenting intermediate holds a lifetime longer than its rotational period. Further, the hydrogen atom leaves almost perpendicular to the C5H5N plane resulting in sideways scattering. This finding, together with low frequency bending and wagging modes, strongly support our electronic structure calculations showing a H–C–C angle of about 106.5° in the exit transition state. The experimentally determined reaction exothermicity of 90±20 kJ mol−1 is consistent with the theoretical value, 80.4 kJ mol−1. Unfavorable kinematics prevent us from observing the CN versus CH3 exchange channel, even though our RRKM calculations suggest that this pathway is more important. Since the title reaction is barrierless and exothermic, and the exit transition state is well below the energy of the reactants, this process might be involved in the formation of unsaturated nitriles even in the coldest interstellar environments such as dark, molecular clouds and the saturnian satellite Titan. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The crossed molecular beams technique was employed to investigate the reaction between ground state carbon atoms, C(3Pj), and allene, H2CCCH2(X 1A1), at two averaged collision energies of 19.6 and 38.8 kJ mol−1. Product angular distributions and time-of-flight spectra of C4H3 were recorded. Forward-convolution fitting of the data yields weakly polarized center-of-mass angular flux distributions isotropic at lower, but forward scattered with respect to the carbon beam at a higher collision energy. The maximum translational energy release and the angular distributions combined with ab initio and RRKM calculations are consistent with the formation of the n-C4H3 radical in its electronic ground state. The channel to the i-C4H3 isomer contributes less than 1.5%. Reaction dynamics inferred from the experimental data indicate that the carbon atom attacks the π-orbitals of the allenic carbon–carbon double bond barrierless via a loose, reactant-like transition state located at the centrifugal barrier. The initially formed cyclopropylidene derivative rotates in a plane almost perpendicular to the total angular momentum vector around its C-axis and undergoes ring opening to triplet butatriene. At higher collision energy, the butatriene complex decomposes within 0.6 ps via hydrogen emission to form the n-C4H3 isomer and atomic hydrogen through an exit transition state located 9.2 kJ mol−1 above the products. The explicit identification of the n-C4H3 radical under single collision represents a further example of a carbon–hydrogen exchange in reactions of ground state carbon atoms with unsaturated hydrocarbons. This channel opens a barrierless route to synthesize extremely reactive hydrocarbon radicals in combustion processes, interstellar chemistry, and hydrocarbon-rich atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, as well as Triton. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
