Abstract
Reactions of several electronic states of Mn+ with H2, HD, and D2 have been examined using guided ion beam mass spectroscopy. The excitation function for the ground state of Mn+(7S) has two regions: one of very low reactivity at threshold and another more efficient pathway at higher energies. In contrast, the 5S and 5D states react efficiently at their thermodynamic thresholds. In reaction with HD, the 5S and 5D states produce ≊3 times as much MnH+ as MnD+ in the threshold region. This isotope effect is similar to that seen in previous studies of transition metal ion reactions. Reaction of Mn+(7S) with HD, on the other hand, exhibits an extreme isotope effect such that MnD+ is formed almost exclusively. The state dependence of the reactivity and reaction mechanisms is explained using simple molecular orbital concepts. The results are analyzed to yield a bond dissociation energy at 0 K for MnH+ of 2.06±0.15 eV (47.5±3.4 kcal/mol).Keywords
