| Summary: | Classical trajectory (Monte Carlo) calculation is used to calculate collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule interactions for the H¯+C2H2 system. The method presented here takes into account the effect of the induced dipole-induced dipole potential on ion-quadrupolar molecule collision rate constants. It is also assumed that the colliding particles have a definite size. The thermal energy collision rate constants are calculated at 300-3000 K temperature range and the kinetic energy dependence of rate constants is examined at a relative kinetic energy of the colliding particles in the range from thermal energy up to ~1.3 eV. It is suggested that the induced dipole-induced dipole potential term and the particles size are important factors and should not be ignored when calculating collision rate constants of ion-quadrupolar molecule system. |
