Decomposition Pathways of Tetrahydrogen.
Abstract
Bound excited states of small molecules are of both practical and theoretical interest. Stabilized and vacuum-stored excited-state molecules have been postulated as a new energy source. In their multireference single and double excitation configuration interaction (MR-SDCI) study, a species researchers labeled a maximum ionicity excited state (MIES) of pyramidal geometry with equilateral triangle base was found for which the coulomb attraction between the ionic fragments hydrogen ion governed stability. In experiments by Moore and collaborators, however, large quenching cross sections have been measured for the interaction of excited-state hydrogen molecule with ground-state molecules.
