What is Activation of D~2~ by Neodymium Cation (Nd^+^): Bond Energy of NdH^+^ and Mechanistic Insights through Experimental and Theoretical Studies about?
The kinetic-energy-dependent cross section for the reaction of Nd + with D 2 was studied by using a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. The formation of NdD + is endothermic, and analysis of the reaction cross section gave an NdH + 0 K bond dissociation energy (BDE) of 1.99 ± 0.06 eV. Theoretical calculations for the NdH + BDE were performed for comparison with the experimental thermochemistry and generally gave accurate results. Additionally, relaxed potential energy surfaces for NdH 2 + were performed, and no strongly bound dihydride intermediate was located. The Nd + + D 2 reactivity and BDE of NdH + are compared with analogous results for the lanthanide cations La + , Ce + , Pr + , Sm + , Gd + , and Lu + to establish periodic trends and insight into the role of the electronic configurations on this reactivity and the lanthanide hydride cation bond strengths.
