Abstract:
We utilized the time-dependent wave packet approach to compute the first full-dimensional (6D) state-to-state differential cross sections (DCSs) for the title reaction with the initial nonrotating H2S in the ground and the (100) and (001) vibrational excited states. It is found that the fundamental symmetric and asymmetric stretching excitations of H2S exhibit almost the same influence on the DCS, but unlike the H + H2O → H2 + OH reaction, they greatly increase the vibrational excitation of both the H2 and SH products. The hot vibrational state distributions of H2 are consistent with the prediction of product energy disposal by Polanyi's rules for an early barrier reaction. Because the incident H atom reacts strongly with both the ground and excited S-H states, the large populations of product SH(v2 = 1), which are very close to the relative reactivity of the initial S-H(v = 0) state, can still be explained by the local mode picture for H2S and the nonreacting SH bond's spectator nature.
