Thermal Activation of Methane by MgO${}^{+}$: Temperature Dependent Kinetics, Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Statistical Modeling

Brendan C. Sweeny, Hanqing Pan, Asmaa Kassem +8

The kinetics of MgO${}^{+}$ + CH${}_4$ was studied experimentally using the variable ion source, temperature adjustable selected ion flow tube (VISTA-SIFT) apparatus from 300 $-$ 600 K a…
