Collision TheoryMax Trautz (1916)William Lewis (1918)
Objective:
To develop a model describing how the rate constant of a reaction varies with changing temperature considering energetic collisions.
General Assumptions:
1) Molecules are hard spheres in temperature dependent translation.2) The molecules undergo collisions, and any collision with sufficient energy
(E*) will result in a reaction.3) Concentration affects reaction rate due to itβs effects on collision rate.
The Impact Parameter
bmax = r1 + r2

bmax
Impact Parameter:
Distance of closest possible approach of the center of the species involved in a collision.
-There exists some maximum impact parameter above which a collision will not occur (bmax). Ie:
b > bmax no collision no reaction
b < bmax collision occurs
reaction may occur if sufficient energy is transferred
b = βimpact parameterβ

The Cross Section and Collision Frequency
V (bmax, Ξt) = (vΞt)Ο
-Collision frequency (Z) per unit time and volume is given by: Z = Ο b2max<v>n1n2
where n1 and n2 are proportional to the number of collision partners present (concetration).
-Reactive cross section(Ο) is the sum of the hard sphere cross sections of collision over time and depends on the probability of a reaction having sufficient energy for a reaction to occur.

Transition State Theory
General Assumptions:
1) An eqillibrium exists between the reactants βactivated state (βtransition stateβ) of a chemical reaction.
2) The difference in energy (Eact)between these two states must be supplied for the to the reaction for the it to form.
3) A certain vibrational degree of freedom exists that is necessarily active for the transition state to dissociate

Photoacoustic Effect
Laser pulses shoot sample with infrared or near-ir frequency radiation.

CH3D + Cl Experimental
1) A molecular beam was created using a 1:1:4 mixture of CH3D, Cl2, and He with a 660 torr backing pressure.
2) Deuteromethane was vibrationally excited with 2.3 ΞΌm (4300 cm-1) laser pulses (excitation laser).
3) Molecular chlorine was dissociated with a 355 nm laser pulse (dissociation laser).
4) After a 200-250 ns delay, a 2+1 REMPI produces ions from either the CH2D or CH3 product (probe laser).
5) Time-of-flight mass spectrometry detects products.
Simultaneously, the laser beam is directed through a cell containing 15 torr CH3D for collection of absorbtion spectrum to computationally verify vibrational assignments.
CH3D + Cl Experimental
Monitors the generation of a product of a specific product over a range of vibrational excitation laser wavelengths.
Provides information similar to photoacoustic spectroscopy. Allows determination of degree of generation of a specific
product with respect to individual vibrational modes.
Action Spectra
REMPI Excitation Spectra Monitors the generation of multiple products through mass
resolved spectrometric detection after REMPI. Allow determination of product distributions from vibrational
mode specific reactants.
