The mechanism of electronic quenching of the A 2A state of CH by ground-state H, is qualitatively investigated by calculating the appropriate potential energy surfaces. It is shown that the appearance of an early potential barrier of 0.15 eV and of a late barrier of 0.6 eV on the potential energy su

✦ Synopsis
Ab initio calculations have been carried out, over an extended range of relative distances and geometries, to obtain the SCF potential energy surface that describes the ground-state interaction between H+ and the CO2 molecular target treated as a rigid rotor. Various aspects of the forces are discussed with special attention to their general dependence on internal angle, affecting rotational excitation of CO, during colisional encounters. The corresponding multipolar coefficients are calculated and the asymptotic behaviour of their lowest terms compared with results from perturbation theory, thus providing some qualitative indication on the expected energy-transfer probability in molecular-beam experiments or in ion diffusion processes.
