Crossed molecular beams and quasiclassical trajectory studies of the reaction O(1D)+H2(D2)

The dynamics of the reactions O(1D)+H2→OH+H and O(1D)+D2→OD+D have been investigated in crossed molecular beam experiments with mass spectrometric detection at the collision energies of 1.9 and 3.0 kcal/mol, and 5.3 kcal/mol, respectively. From OH(OD) product laboratory angular and velocity distribution measurements, center-of-mass product translational energy and angular distributions were derived. The angular distributions are nearly backward–forward symmetric with a favored backward peaking which increases with collision energy. About 30% of the total available energy is found to be channeled into product translational energy. The results are compared with quasiclassical trajectory calculations on a DIM (diatomic-in-molecules) potential energy surface. Related experimental and theoretical works are noted. Insertion via the 1 1A′ ground state potential energy surface is the predominant mechanism, but the role of a second competitive abstraction micromechanism which should evolve on one of (or both) the ...
