Abstract
In low temperature plasmas, energy transfer between asymmetric stretching excited CO2 molecules can be highly efficient, which leads to further excitation (and de-excitation) of the CO2 molecules: CO2(vas) + CO2(vas) → CO2(vas + 1) + CO2(vas - 1). Through such a vibrational ladder climbing mechanism, CO2 can be activated and eventually dissociates. To gain mechanistic insight of such processes, a full-dimensional accurate potential energy surface (PES) for the CO2 + CO2 system is developed using the permutational invariant polynomial-neural network method based on CCSD(T)-F12a/AVTZ energies at about 39 000 geometries. This PES is used in quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) studies of the vibrational energy transfer between CO2 molecules excited in the asymmetric stretching mode. A machine learning algorithm is used to determine state-specific rate coefficients for the vibrational transfer processes from a limited data set. In addition to the CO2(vas + 1) + CO2(vas - 1) channel, the QCT simulations revealed significant contributions from the CO2(vas + 2,3) + CO2(vas - 2,3) channels, particularly at low collision energies/temperatures. These multi-vibrational-quantum processes are attributed to enhanced energy flow in the collisional complex formed by enhanced dipole-dipole interaction between asymmetric stretching excited CO2 molecules.

Abstract
Collisional excitations of CO2 molecules are significant to fully understand the physical and chemical processes of astrophysical and atmospheric environments. Rotational excitations of CO2 molecules induced by N(4S) atoms have been studied for the first time. First, we have computed a new highly accurate ab initio potential energy surface (PES) of a CO2-N(4S) van der Waals complex. The PES has been obtained by employing the partially spin-restricted coupled cluster with open-shell single, double, and perturbative triple excitation method with aug-cc-pVQZ basis sets. The full close-coupling calculations have been performed to compute cross sections for kinetic energies up to 800 cm-1. For all of the excitations, rotational cross sections exhibit an overall decrease with the increase of the energy gaps. Rate coefficients are calculated by averaging the cross sections over a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for temperatures ranging from 1 to 150 K. The trends in rate coefficients are in good agreement with those of similar collision systems. The decrease in energy gaps and the increase in temperature are the key factors to enhance the rate coefficients of CO2 excitation. Our study will be useful for accurately establishing the atmospheric model of terrestrial planets and determining the abundance of CO2 and N(4S) in space.

Abstract
State-resolved chemical reactions in CO2 are studied by taking into account excitation of all vibrational modes and preferential reaction mechanisms. The effect of several parameters on the reaction rate coefficients is discussed; it is shown that the nonequilibrium factor in the expression for the rate coefficients of exchange reactions is much less sensitive to the number of accounted vibrational states and model parameters than that of dissociation. On the other hand, the choice of thermal equilibrium Arrhenius law parameters is crucial for the correct prediction of rate coefficients for both reactions. Developed models are implemented to the one-dimensional boundary layer code for coupled state-to-state simulations of nonequilibrium CO2 flows under Mars entry conditions. Vibrational distributions, mixture composition, flow variables, and heat flux are studied for several kinetic schemes and different models of chemical reactions. Whereas including the exchange reactions weakly affects the flow, switching between the Park and McKenzie sets of parameters results in significant modification of the kinetic mechanisms; for the McKenzie model, recombination near the wall is a dominating reaction, whereas for the Park model, chemical reactions are frozen. Different contributions to the heat flux are evaluated and a satisfactory agreement with experiments is shown.

Abstract
A full dimensional Potential Energy Surface (PES) of the CO + N2 system has been generated by extending an approach already reported in the literature and applied to N2-N2 (Cappelletti et al., 2008), CO2-CO2 (Bartolomei et al., 2012), and CO2-N2 (Lombardi et al., 2016b) systems. The generation procedure leverages at the same time experimental measurements and high-level ab initio electronic structure calculations. The procedure adopts an analytic formulation of the PES accounting for the dependence of the electrostatic and non-electrostatic components of the intermolecular interaction on the deformation of the monomers. In particular, the CO and N2 molecular multipole moments and electronic polarizabilities, the basic physical properties controlling the behavior at intermediate and long-range distances of the interaction components, were made to depend on relevant internal coordinates. The formulated PES exhibits substantial advantages when used for structural and dynamical calculations. This makes it also well suited for reuse in Open Molecular Science Cloud services.

Abstract
Coupled state-to-state vibrational-chemical kinetics, gas dynamics, and heat transfer in the five-component mixture of dissociated CO2 are studied using the complete three-mode kinetic model and the reduced scheme involving mainly the vibrational states of the asymmetric mode. The emphasis is on the effect of asymmetric vibrations on the rate of dissociation, fluid dynamic variables, and heat flux. It is shown that intermode vibrational energy transitions between CO and CO2 asymmetric mode may considerably decrease the rate of dissociation; the presence of CO in the mixture quickly depletes high vibrational states and thus inhibits dissociation at low temperatures. The reduced model overpredicts populations of highly located states of the asymmetric mode, especially when intermode VV transitions are neglected; therefore, using the simplified model in flows with dominating dissociation may yield overestimated dissociation rate. In the hypersonic flow along the stagnation line, the influence of asymmetric vibrations on the fluid dynamics and heat transfer is weak; the main role belongs to chemical reactions and VT transitions in the bending mode. In this case, the computationally efficient simplified model can be used to predict macroscopic variables and heat flux without significant loss of accuracy.

Abstract
Chirality is a phenomenon that permeates the natural world, with implications for atomic and molecular physics, for fundamental forces and for the mechanisms at the origin of the early evolution of life and biomolecular homochirality. The manifestations of chirality in chemistry and biochemistry are numerous, the striking ones being chiral recognition and asymmetric synthesis with important applications in molecular sciences and in industrial and pharmaceutical chemistry. Chiral discrimination phenomena, due to the existence of two enantiomeric forms, very well known in the case of interaction with light, but still nearly disregarded in molecular collision studies. Here we review some ideas and recent advances about the role of chirality in molecular collisions, designing and illustrating molecular beam experiments for the demonstration of chiral effects and suggesting a scenario for a stereo-directional origin of chiral selection.

Abstract
In this work, we exploit a new formulation of the potential energy and of the related computational procedures, which embodies the coupling between the intra and intermolecular components, to characterize possible propensities of the collision dynamics in energy transfer processes of interest for simulation and control of phenomena occurring in a variety of equilibrium and nonequilibrium environments. The investigation reported in the paper focuses on the prototype CO2 -N2 system, whose intramolecular component of the interaction is modeled in terms of a many body expansion while the intermolecular component is modeled in terms of a recently developed bonds-as-interacting-molecular-centers' approach. The main advantage of this formulation of the potential energy surface is that of being (a) truly full dimensional (i.e., all the variations of the coordinates associated with the molecular vibrations and rotations on the geometrical and electronic structure of the monomers, are explicitly taken into account without freezing any bonds or angles), (b) more flexible than other usual formulations of the interaction and (c) well suited for fitting procedures better adhering to accurate ab initio data and sensitive to experimental arrangement dependent information. Specific attention has been given to the fact that a variation of vibrational and rotational energy has a higher (both qualitative and quantitative) impact on the energy transfer when a more accurate formulation of the intermolecular interaction (with respect to that obtained when using rigid monomers) is adopted. This makes the potential energy surface better suited for the kinetic modeling of gaseous mixtures in plasma, combustion and atmospheric chemistry computational applications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
