The charge - transfer reaction between protons and oxygen atoms is critical to the chemistry of the oxygen family; the corresponding rate was evaluated by Field and Steigman (1971) on the assumption of orbiting collisions and statistical probability distribution among the levels. We re-examine this reaction, including the fine-structure excitation process, basing our analysis on a careful description of the different potential curves arising from the O-H+ and 0+-H systems and on the evaluation of the coupling responsible for the transitions.
