Abstract
We report a time-dependent, full dimensional, wave-packet calculation for the reaction of OH + DBr to examine the effect of the energy efficiency on the reactivity. This study shows that the vibrational excitations of the OH and DBr enhance the reaction. However, the rotational excitations of OH and DBr both hinder the reaction. As a result, the vibrational energies of both the OH and DBr reactants are more efficient at promoting the reactivity than the translational energy, while the rotational energies of OH and DBr are less effective than the translational energy. By analyzing the state population of the vibrational and rotational states along the reaction pathway, we also developed an approach in order to explain the enhancement of the vibrational excitation and the hindrance of the rotational excitation of the reaction. We found that the initial-state selected vibrational excited states of OH and DBr are the dominant components, respectively, for surmounting the barrier. However, the initial-state selected rotational excited states of OH and DBr are no longer the dominant states for surmounting the transition state owing to their population changes in the van der Waals well. This quantitative analysis demonstrates the potential well in the entrance valley plays an important role in the energy efficiency with regards to the reactivity.

Abstract
The dynamics of the reactions CH3 + HBr → CH4 + Br and HO + HBr → H2O + Br have been studied using the quasiclassical trajectory method to explore the interplay of the vibrational excitation of the breaking bond and the potential energy surface characterized by a prereaction van der Waals well and a submerged barrier to reaction. The attraction between the reactants is favorable for the reaction, because it brings together the reactants without any energy investment. The reaction can be thought to be controlled by capture. The trajectory calculations indeed provide excitation functions typical to capture: the reaction cross sections diverge when the collision energy is reduced toward zero. Excitation of reactant vibration accelerates both reactions. The barrier on the potential surface is so early that the coupling between the degrees of freedom at the saddle point geometry is negligible. However, the trajectory calculations show that when the breaking bond is stretched at the time of the encounter, an attractive force arises, as if the radical approached a HBr molecule whose bond is partially broken. As a result, the dynamics of the reaction are controlled more by the temporary "dynamical", vibrationally induced than by the "static" van der Waals attraction even when the reactants are in vibrational ground state. The cross sections are shown to drop to very small values when the amplitude of the breaking bond's vibration is artificially reduced, which provides an estimate of the reactivity due to the "static" attraction. Without zero-point vibration these reactions would be very slow, which is a manifestation of a unique quantum effect. Reactions where the reactivity is determined by dynamical factors such as the vibrationally enhanced attraction are found to be beyond the range of applicability of Polanyi's rules.

Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with HBr, important in atmospheric and combustion chemistry, has been studied in a discharge flow reactor combined with an electron impact ionization quadrupole mass spectrometer in the temperature range 235-960 K. The rate constant of the reaction OH + HBr → H2O + Br (1) was determined using both a relative rate method (using the reaction of OH with Br2 as a reference) and absolute measurements, monitoring the kinetics of OH consumption under pseudo-first-order conditions in excess of HBr. The observed U-shaped temperature dependence of k1 is well represented by the sum of two exponential functions: k1 = 2.53 × 10-11 exp(-364/T) + 2.79 × 10-13 exp(784/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1 (with an estimated conservative uncertainty of 15% at all temperatures). This expression for k1, recommended for T = 240-960 K, combined with that from previous low temperature studies, k1 = 1.06 × 10-11 (T/298)-0.9 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at T = 23-240 K, allows to describe the temperature behavior of the rate constant over an extended temperature range 23-960 K. The current direct measurements of k1 at temperatures above 460 K, the only ones to date, provide an experimental dataset for use in combustion and volcanic plume modeling and an experimental basis to test theoretical calculations.

Abstract
The Kr-CH3OH (Krypton-Methanol) system has several technological applications, such as the determination of diffusivity coefficients, their use in the development of detectors and combustion techniques among others. We report an extensive theoretical study concerning the stability of such complex. A mix between molecular dynamics, electronic structure calculations and solution of the nuclear Schrodinger equation lead to investigation of spectroscopic constants, lifetime of the complex and its Quantum Theory Atom in Molecules (QTAIM) properties. The study of the Potential Energy Curves (PEC) suggested three configurations to be stable as their potential well were able to harbor 9 vibrational levels. Properties from the curves also allowed us to obtain the lifetime of the complex, whose values were >1 ps regardless of the conformation. Furthermore, topological investigations of the charge density profile of the complex, in the scope of QTAIM properties, show that van der Waals type interactions takes place between the noble gas and the methanol molecule. These features are in consonance to the experimental fact that this complex is stable.
