CO 2 activation by gaseous zirconium cations: competition between spin-changing and spin-conserving pathways

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: at intermediate energies, and finally to a positive energy dependence when the spin-conserving channel opens. These behaviors are well-explained by non-adiabatic transition-state theory and are distinctive of a submerged crossing point. The present study highlights the importance of spins revealing a delicate balance of their individual contributions to the interaction potential and resulting reaction dynamics.
