1 H 3+ : "A Beautiful Jewel of Nature" Ben McCall Department of Chemistry Department of Astronomy University of California at Berkeley [Oka Ion Factory ]
2 J. J. Thomson H + H 2 + H 3 + J. J. Thomson, Phil. Mag. 24, 209 (1912)
3 Arthur J. Dempster 10 mtorr 1.7 mtorr Discovered 235 U Physics Prof. at U. Chicago Principal American authority on positive rays H 3+ formed in secondary reaction A. J. Dempster, Phil. Mag. 31, 438 (1916)
4 Charles A. Coulson First Ph.D. student of Lennard-Jones First ab initio calculation on a polyatomic molecule "It appears that the ion H 3 + should exist in stable equilateral form with a nuclear distance about 0.85 Å, and that all excited levels are unstable." Prediction not accepted by Eyring, Hirschfelder, and others With advent of computers, prediction was confirmed (Christoffersen, Hagstrom, & Prosser 1964, Conroy 1964) C. A. Coulson, Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 31, 244 (1935)
5 Interstellar H 3 + Martin, McDaniel, & Meeks, Astrophys. J. 134, 1012 (1961)
6 Interstellar Chemistry E. Herbst & W. Klemperer, Astrophys. J. 185, 505 (1973) H 3+ universal protonator H 3+ + O H 2 + OH + also: W. D. Watson Astrophys. J. 183, L17 (1973) OH + + H 2 H + H 2 O + H 2 O + + H 2 H + H 3 O + H 3 O + + e - H 2 O + H Origin of Earth's water (?)
7 Herzberg's Search for H : with J. W. C. Johns, searched for emission in IR spectrum of discharge Looked for electronic transitions in VUV, found high rotational lines of Lyman bands Working in visible, stumbled onto H 3
8 Oka's Search for H 3 + Allen Karabonik
9 Positive Column Discharge Every morning, he transferred six 50 liter cans of liquid nitrogen to the laboratory!
10 The Long Search Four and a half years. Much of it assembling the DF system and discharge cell. Scanned from: 6/12-8/3 (1978) 12/18-1/26 ( ) 4/24-12/18 (1980) R(1,0) April 25, Oka and Allen Karabonik in lab Keiko came in at 10 pm Watson assigned it overnight
11 The final spectrum
