Abstract

Quasiclassical trajectory calculations using the Siegbahn-Liu-Truhlar-Horowitz potential-energy surface for the title reaction reveal that the reaction cross section initially decreases with reagent rotational excitation, reaches a minimum around J i = 4–6 and then increases dramatically up to J i = 12. The reasons for such a rotational effect and its effect on product energy and angular distributions and on the experimental determination of rate observables are discussed.
