Abstract
A trajectory study of the O( 3P)+ I 2 reaction at three initial translational energies, using a LEPS potential energy function is described. Comparison is made with the experimental measurements of Grice and co-workers. It is found that the symmetry of forward-backward scattering begins to deviate at high collision energies. This may be interpreted in terms of a gradual transition from a long-lived collision complex mechanism at very low initial translational energies to a two-component mechanism with prevailing contribution from backward scattering as the collision energy is increased.
