Theoretical Study of Reagent Rotational Excitation Effect on the Stereodynamics of H+LiF→HF+Li Reaction

The reagent rotational excitation effect on the stereodynamics of H+LiF→HF+Li is calcu-lated by means of the quasi-classical trajectory method on the Aguado-Paniagua2-potential energy surface (AP2-PES) constructed by Aguado et al. J. Chem. Phys. 106, 1013 (1997). The angular distributions of vector correlations between products and reactants, P(?r) and P(Φr) are presented. Meanwhile, the four polarization-dependent generalized differential cross sections are computed. The results indicate that the reagent rotational quantum num-bers have impact on the vector properties of the title reaction. In addition, the reaction probability has been calculated as well.
