The O(1D) + H2 (X 1Σ+, v, j) → OH(X 2Π, v′, j′) + H(2S) reaction at low collision energy: when a simple statistical description of the dynamics works
Abstract
In this communication, we highlight that statistical approaches for chemical reactions describe reasonably well the low energy dynamics of the title process. Consequently, such methods prove to be valuable to compute rate constants from low to room temperatures. Results are compared with experiment and recent precise quantum wave packet calculations [J. Phys. Chem. A, 2009, 113, 5285].
