Nascent rovibrational distributions of CO(d (3)Delta(i),e (3)Sigma(-),a ' (3)Sigma(+)) produced in the dissociative recombination of CO2+ With electrons
The d (3) Delta(i)-a (3) Pi(r), e (3) Sigma(-)-a (3) Pi(r), and a' (3) Sigma(+)-a (3) Pi(r), transitions of CO resulting from the dissociative recombination of CO2+((X) over tilde (2) Pi(g) : 0,0,0) with electrons have been observed from the He afterglow reaction of CO2. The formation rate constants of CO(d), CO(e), and CO(a') were estimated to be 1.6x10(-7), 3.3X10(-9), and 2.4x10(-7) cm(3) s(-1), respectively. The vibrational and rotational distributions of CO(d:v'=0-6,e:v'=2,3,a'=3-11) were determined. Most of available excess energies (91%similar to 98%) were deposited into the vibrational energy of CO(d,e,a') and the relative translational energies of the products, indicating that CO(d, e,a') were produced by direct curve crossings between the entrance e(-)/CO2+((X) over tilde (2) Pi(g):0,0,0) potential and repulsive CO(d,e,a')+ O(P-3) potentials with linear geometries. The vibrational distributions of CO(d) and CO(a') slightly shifted to lower states than those in photodissociation at a similar excitation energy. A simple statistical model was unable to explain the observed vibrational distributions obtained by dissociative recombination.
