✦ Synopsis

The treatment of rovibrational transfer at elevated rotational angular momentum as a gateway phenomenon with sudden dynamics leads to a very simple scaling relationship with a single adjustable parameter. The result quite accurately reproduces experimental rate constants. The physical significance of this result is discussed.

Approximate classical trajectory calculations of capture rates are performed for collisions occurring under the influence of a combination of angle-dependent and isotropic potentials. Results calculated for a wide range of temperatures are in good accord with existing data for ion-dipole (H3+ + HCN)
