Abstract:
We present a new theoretical method to treat the atom-diatom radiative association within a time independent approach. This method is an adaptation of the driven equations method developed for photodissociation. The bound state energies and wave functions of the molecule are calculated exactly and used to propagate the overlap with the initial scattering wave function. In the second part of this paper, this approach is applied to the radiative association of the N2H(-) anion. The main features of the radiative association cross sections are analysed and the magnitude of the calculated rate coefficient at 10 K is used to discuss the existence of the N2H(-) in the interstellar medium which could be used as a tracer of both N2 and H(-).

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
