The nuclear spin dependence of the chemical reaction H(3)(+)+ H(2) ? H(2)?+ H(3)(+) has been studied in a hollow cathode plasma cell. Multipass infrared direct absorption spectroscopy has been employed to monitor the populations of several low-energy rotational levels of ortho- and para-H(3)(+) (o-H(3)(+) and p-H(3)(+)) in hydrogenic plasmas of varying para-H(2) (p-H(2)) enrichment. The ratio of the rates of the proton hop (k(H)) and hydrogen exchange (k(E)) reactions ? ? k(H)/k(E) is inferred from the observed p-H(3)(+) fraction as a function of p-H(2) fraction using steady-state chemical models. Measurements have been performed both in uncooled (T(kin) ? 350 K) and in liquid-nitrogen-cooled (T(kin) ? 135 K) plasmas, marking the first time this reaction has been studied at low temperature. The value of ? has been found to decrease from 1.6 ± 0.1 at 350 K to 0.5 ± 0.1 at 135 K.
