Large, mode-selective vibrational effect on the reaction of C2H+2 with methane

Abstract
The reaction of C2H+2 with CH4 is strongly enhanced by excitation of a C2H+2 bending vibration, with little effect observed for the CC stretch. The enhancement results from efficient use of bending motion in surmounting an activation barrier. Energy in the CC stretch has little effect on the threshold.
