A modelling of accurate reduced-dimensionality quantum probabilities for H(D,T)+Cl2 reactions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The effect of isotope substitutions on reactive probabilities and product vibrational distributions of the reaction of Cl2 with H has been investigated using collinear accurate quantum techniques. The behaviour of the reactive probability with energy has been parameterized with the aid of quasi-classical trajectory results while detailed distributions have been modelled in terms of a Franck-Condon treatment.
