Abstract
The body-fixed coordinate system appears to be particularly suited for discussing the role of reagent rotation. The simple picture provided by the j z -conserving approximation accords with the available evidence and with specially performed trajectory computations for the O + HCl( v= 0, j) and O + DCl( v= 0, j) reactions. An even simpler, Line-of-centers-type model is also discussed. Both the possible decline in reactivity at low rotational excitation and its increase at higher levels of excitation can be accounted for.
