The dynamic studies of the C<superscript>+</superscript> + HD reaction using the time-dependent wave packet method.

The dynamic calculations of the C+ + HD (v0 = 0, j0 = 0) → D/H + CH+/CD+ reaction in the collision energy range of 0.001–1.80 eV are carried out by using a time-dependent wave packet. The intramolecular isotope effect of the C+ + HD reaction is discussed in detail. Some meaningful dynamic properties of the C+ + HD reaction are reported and compared with available theoretical and experimental results. The results indicated that present values are, in general, in better agreement with experimental data than previous theoretical reports. However, due to the lack of consideration of rotational excitation of reactant and non-adiabatic effect, the present results are always smaller than the experimental results. Differential cross-sections of the D + CH+ and H + CD+ product channels exhibit forward–backward symmetric behaviour, which indicates that the 'complex-forming' mechanism plays a dominant role in the reaction. Highlights The dynamic calculations of the C+ + HD (v0 = 0, j0 = 0) → D/H + CH+/CD+ reaction are performed using a time-dependent wave packet method based on the newly reported potential energy surface. The dynamicl properties, such as integral cross-sections, rate constants, etc., are calculated and compared with previous theoretical and experimental results. The rovibrational state distributions of the product are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
