Selectivity of weak intermolecular forces and precursor state of elementary oxidation reactions, a new insight on Ne* + N2 chemiionization

Abstract This paper reports on the collision dynamics of N2 with metastable Ne* promoting chemiionizations, prototype of barrier-less oxidation reactions of great interest for fundamental and applied research. Extending guidelines presented in previous papers for the atom–atom case, an innovative tr...
