Calculations show weak asymmetry enhances reaction rates in isotopic exchange reactions, indicating significant molecular interactions in cavities.
Although it has already been shown that asymmetry in the reaction is a crucial condition for enhancing reaction rates in a dark cavity, our calculations demonstrate that even a weak asymmetry in isotopic exchange reactions is sufficient to enhance the reaction rate in a dark cavity. This enhancement occurs even when many nondirectly interacting molecules are coupled indirectly through their interaction with the cavity.
