Because this reaction is spin-forbidden, crossings between octet and sextet hypersurfaces presumably must occur. Furthermore, Sm+ must transition from a 4f66s1 configuration in the reactant to 4f55d2 in order to have the orbital occupancy required to form the triple bond in SmO+ (6\u0394). Despite being strongly exothermic (\u223c4\u00a0eV), the reaction proceeds with low efficiency (18% \u00b1 4%) via a barrierless process at low energies. Below \u223c0.3\u00a0eV, the cross section follows a kinetic energy dependence that roughly parallels that of the collision rate for ion\u2013dipole reactions. At higher collision energies, the reaction cross section increases until it follows the trajectory cross section closely from 3 to 5\u00a0eV, indicating that another pathway opens on the reaction hypersurface. Modeling this increase yields a threshold energy for this new pathway at 0.54 \u00b1 0.05\u00a0eV. Theoretical potential energy surfaces that do not include spin\u2013orbit interactions for the reaction show that there is a barrier of height 1.19\u00a0eV (MP2) or 0.49\u00a0eV [CCSD(T)] to insertion of Sm+ into the N2\u2013O bond and that there are several places where octet and sextet surfaces can intersect and interact. By considering the distribution of spin\u2013orbit states generated in the ion source, the internal energy of the N2O reactant, and the influence of coupling between electronic, orbital, and rotational angular momentum, the low-efficiency, exothermic behavior as well as the increase in efficiency at higher energies can plausibly be explained.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0208568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T09:56:27Z","timestamp":1715334987000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Kinetic energy dependence and potential energy surface of the spin-forbidden reaction Sm+ (8F) + N2O (1\u03a3+) \u2192 SmO+ (6\u0394) + N2 (1\u03a3g+)"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"160","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3821-0591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David H.","family":"Loertscher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Utah , 315 S. 1400 E.
