We investigate the influence of reagent vibration on the stereodynamics of the title reaction by the quasi-classmal trajectory on the Aguado-Paniagua2-potential energy surface developed by Aguado et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 1997 106 1013). The cross sections and reaction probability as functions of the reagent vibration are calculated in the centre-of- mass frame. The product angular distributions of p(Фr), p(Фr), and p(Фr, Фr), which reflect the vector correlation, are also presented and discussed. The results indicate that the vector properties are sensitively affected by the vibrational excitation.
A quasi-classical trajectory(QCT) calculation is used to investigate the vector and scalar properties of the D + Br O → DBr + O reaction based on an ab initio potential energy surface(X1A state) with collision energy ranging from 0.1 kcal/mol to 6 kcal/mol. The reaction probability, the cross section, and the rate constant are studied. The probability and the cross section show decreasing behaviors as the collision energy increases. The distribution of the rate constant indicates that the reaction favorably occurs in a relatively low-temperature region(T 〈 100 K). Meanwhile, three product angular distributions P(θr), P(φr), and P(θr, φr) are presented, which reflect the positive effect on the rotational angular momentum j' polarization of the DBr product molecule. In addition, two of the polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections(PDDCSs), PDDCS00 and PDDCS20, are computed as well. Our results demonstrate that both vector and scalar properties have strong energy dependence.
In this paper, the stereodynamics of Li + DF → Li F + D reaction is investigated by the quasi-classical trajectory(QCT)method on the ^2A' potential energy surface(PES) at a relatively low collision energy of 8.76 kcal/mol. The scalar properties of the title reaction such as reaction probability and cross section are studied with vibrational quantum number of v = 1–6. The product angular distributions P(θr) and P(φr) are presented in the same vibrational level range. Moreover, two polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections(PDDCSs), i.e., the PDDCS00 and PDDCS22+are calculated as well. These stereodynamical results demonstrate sensitive behaviors to the vibrational quantum numbers.
Calculations on the dynamics of the reaction O( 1 D) + HBr --+ OH Br are performed on the ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the ground state given by Peterson [Peterson K A J. Chem. Phys. 113 4598 (2000)] using the quasi classical trajectory (QCT) method. The product distribution of the dihedral angle, P (φr), and that of the angle between k and j, P (Or), are presented in three dimensions. Moreover, we also investigate the reagent vibrational excitation effects on the two polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections (PDDCS), PDDCS00 and PDDCS20, in the center- of-mass frame. The results indicate that the vector properties are sensitive to the reagent vibrational quantum number.
Quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) studies on the stereodynamics of H + BrO → O+ HBr reaction have been performed on the X1A' state of ab initio potential energy surface by Peterson [Peterson K A 2000 J. Chem. Phys. 113 4598] in a collision energy range from 0 kcal/mol to 6 kcal/mol. Two of the polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections (PDDCSs), (2π/σ)(dσ 00/d ω) (PDDCSoo) and (2π/σ)(dσ20/doh) (PDDCS20) are considered. The rotational polarizations of these products show sensitive behaviors to the calculated collision energy range. Furthermore, in order to gain more knowledge about vector correlations, the product angular distribution, P(θr), and the dihedral angle, P (Фr), are calculated, and the results indicate that both the rotational alignment and orientation of the product are enhanced as collision energy increases.
