 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Reactions of Ta+ and W+ with H2, D2, and HD: effect of lanthanide contraction and spin-orbit interactions on reactivity and thermochemistry | A guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer is used to examine the kinetic energy dependence of reactions of the third-row transition metal cations, Ta1, and W1, with molecular hydrogen and its isotopologs. A flow tube ion source produces Ta1 and W1 ions in their electronic ground state term and p... | Metal clusters; Tantalum ions; Tungsten ions; Lanthanide contraction; Bond energies; Endothermic reactions; Transition metal ions; Dihydrogen | 2002 |
