An analysis of the degree of convergence of theoretical pictures of the dynamics of the autoionization event He(23S)-D2(v" = 0) -> [He...D2+(v')] + e is presented for a number of batches of Monte Carlo calculations differing in the number of the trajectories run. The treatment of the dynamics consists in 2D classical trajectory calculations based on static characteristics which include a quantum mechanical treatment of the perturbed D2(v" = 0) and D2+(v') vibrational motion. The vibrational populations are dynamical averages over the local widths of the He(23S)-D2(v" = 0) state with respect to autoionization to D2+(...He) in its v'th vibrational level and the Penning electron energies are related to the local differences between the energies of the corresponding perturbed D2(v" = 0)(...He*) and D2+(v')(...He) vibrational states. Special attention is paid to the connection between the requirements on the degree of convergence of the classical trajectory picture of the event and the purpose of the calculations. Information is obtained regarding a scale of the trajectory calculations required for physically sensible applications of the model to an interpretation of different type of experiments on the system: total ionization cross section measurements, Penning ionization electron spectra, subsequent 3D classical trajectory calculations of branching ratios of the products of the postionization collision process, and interpretation of electron ion coincidence measurements of the product branching ratios for individual vibrational levels of the nascent Penning ion.

Stable Structures

The complex NO+·H2S, which is assumed to be an intermediate in acid rain formation, exhibits thermodynamic stability of ∆Hº300 = -76 kJ mol-1, or ∆Gº300 = -47 kJ mol-1. Its further transformation via H-transfer is associated with rather high barriers. One of the conceivable routes to lower the energy of the transition state is the action of additional solvent molecule(s) that can mediate proton transfer. We have studied several NO+·H2S structures with one or two additional water molecule(s) and have found stable structures (local minima), intermediates and saddle points for the three-body NO+·H2S·H2O and four-body NO+·H2S·(H2O)2 clusters. The hydrogen bonds network in the four-body cluster plays a crucial role in its conversion to thionitrous acid.
