| contents | The reaction dynamics of O(3P) + O2(3Sigma_g-) collisions in the O3(1A') electronic ground state is characterized on a high-level MRCI+Q/aug-cc-pVQZ potential energy surface represented as a reproducing kernel. For the atom exchange reactions involving the ^{16}O and ^{18}O isotopes as the atomic collision partner, associated with rates k6(T) and k8(T), respectively, a negative temperature-dependence of k(T), consistent with experiments was found. The absolute rates typically underestimate measured rates by 50 percent, depending on the experiment considered. For the ratio R(T) = k8(T)/k6(T), the measured T-dependence was found, including a cusp at lower temperatures. The differences between experiments and computations are primarily due to neglect of quantum effects, primarily zero-point effects. For the atomization reaction, leading to 3O(3P), the rates is lower by approximately one order of magnitude compared with experiments, which is a clear improvement over simulations using previous potential energy surfaces computed with smaller basis sets. Non-adiabatic effects are deemed minor for the atom exchange reactions. |
