Sumario:[Image: see text] The exothermic hydrogen transfer from H(2) to CO(2)(·)(+) leading to H and HCO(2)(+) is investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical work. The experimental mass/charge ratios of the ionic product (HCO(2)(+)) and the ionic reactant (CO(2)(·)(+)) are recorded as a function of the photoionization energy of the synchrotron radiation. Theoretical density functional calculations and variational transition state theory are employed and adapted to analyze the energetic and the kinetics of the reaction, which turns out to be barrierless and with nonthermal rate coefficients controlled by nonstatistical processes. This study aims to understand the mechanisms and energetics that drive the reactivity of the elementary reaction of CO(2)(·)(+) with H(2) in different processes.
