Influence of Reactant Vibrational Excitation on Stereodynamics of C + NO → CN + O Reaction

Abstract

Stereodynamics of the title reaction at different reagent vibrational states (v=0-2) are obtained using the quasiclassical trajectory method at collision energy of 0.06 eV on an accurate $^4A"$ potential energy surface. The vector properties including angular momentum $P(θ_r)$ and $P(\phi_r)$ distributions as well as polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCS) of the product CN are presented. Furthermore, the influence of vibrational excitation on the product vector properties has also been studied in present work.
