Abstract

Glimpsing resonances as F and H 2 react The reaction of fluorine atoms with hydrogen molecules has long provided a window into the subtle effects of quantum mechanics on chemical dynamics. Kim et al. now show that the system still has some secrets left to reveal. The authors applied photodetachment to FH 2 − anions and their deuterated analogs. This allowed them to intercept the reaction trajectory in the middle and thereby uncover unanticipated weakly bound resonances. Theoretical calculations explain these observations and predict additional similar features that have yet to be seen. Science , this issue p. 510
