We have studied how the KrF* formation in the NF3+ Kr*(3P2) reaction depends on the mutual configuration between the orientation of the NF3molecule and the alignment of the Kr*(3P2,MJ= 2) atom in the collision frame. The molecular steric opacity function has been determined as a function of the atomic orbital alignment (ML′) in the collision frame. The molecular steric opacity function turns out to depend remarkably onML′; the |ML′| = 1 alignment is favorable at the molecular axis direction, whereas theML′ = 0 alignment is favorable at the sideways direction with a very poor reactivity at the molecular axis direction. The influence of deformation of the NF3geometry on the electron affinity has been evaluated by ab initio calculation, and theML′ dependent intermolecular potential has been estimated from the interaction potential for the bromine−rare gas system. We propose the “collision-induced harpooning mechanism” as a novel process for the harpooning in which collisional deformation of the NF3geometry withCssymmetry plays an important role as an initiating factor on electron transfer for the formation of NF3−due to increasing the electron affinity of NF3and due to localizing the negative charge on the closest F-atom of NF3−anion. All experimental observations can support the collision-induced harpooning mechanism.
