The first two-dimensional potential energy surface for the interaction between He and SH+(3Σ-) has been calculated using CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVXZ(X = T,Q,5) supplemented by a three-term extrapolation scheme. This surface is subsequently employed in close coupling calculations to investigate the collision dynamics of SH+ with He atoms. The collisional cross sections for fine structure energy levels are computed. The de-excitation rate coefficients for the lower fine structure levels of SH+ molecules due to collisions with He are determined over a temperature range of 10-500 K.

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...

Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred...
