Abstract

A three-atom analytical model for the ground-state potential-energy surface for the reaction C + N 2O is proposed. A classical trajectory study is performed on this reaction. It shows a much higher vibrational excitation with population inversion in the vibrational levels of CN(X 2Σ +) than expected from experiment and, therefore, suggests a distribution of the energy of the reaction not only into the newly formed CN bond but also into the pre-existing NO bond.
