Abstract We present a comparison of theoretical and experimental rate coefficients for the reactions of H 3+, HCO+, H−, C+ and O+ with HCN, and H 3+ with HCl, over the temperature range 205–540 K. The theoretical results are obtained using an adiabatic capture theory which is selective in the initial rotational states of the reacting dipolar molecules. The experiments were performed using a variable-temperature SIFT apparatus. For the H 3+ ...
