摘要

The electronic state chromatography (ESC) effect allows the differentiation of ions in their ground and metastable states by their gaseous mobilities in the limit of low electrostatic fields. It is investigated here by means of accurate transport calculations with ab initio ion-atom potentials for the Cr, Co, and Ni cations in He buffer gas near room temperature. The values for the open-shell ions in degenerate states are shown to be well approximated by using the single isotropic interaction potential. Minimalistic implementation of the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method is enough to describe the zero-field transport properties of metastable ions in the 3d(m-1)4s configuration, such as Cr+(a(6)D), Co+(a(5)F), and Ni+(F-4), due to their weak and almost isotropic interaction with He atom and the low sensitivity of the measured mobilities to the potential well region. By contrast, interactions involving the ions in the ground 3dm states, such as Cr+(a(6)S), Co+(a(3)F), and Ni+(D-2), are strong and anisotropic; the MRCI potentials poorly describe their transport coefficients. Even the coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and non-iterative triples approach taking into account vectorial spin-orbit coupling may not be accurate enough, as shown here for Ni+(D-2). The sensitivity of ion mobility and the ESC effect to interaction potentials, similarities in ion-He interactions of the studied ions in distinct configurations, accuracy and possible improvements of the ab initio schemes, and control of the ESC effect by macroscopic parameters are discussed. Extensive sets of improved interaction potentials and transport data are generated. Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.
