Quantum mechanical three-dimensional wavepacket study of the O(1D)+ClH?ClO+H reaction

Abstract

The state-to-state reaction probabilities at zero total angular momentum have been calculated for the O(D-1) + ClH --> ClO + H reaction. Reaction probabilities from the ground state of ClH and going to all possible open product channels are computed over a wide range of energies. The energy dependence of the reaction probabilities shows that the reaction is strongly dominated by resonances. The product rotational and vibrational distributions are also extracted.
