Quasi-classical Trajectory Study of C+CD→C₂+D at Different Collision Energy

Quasi-classical trajectory calculations have been employed to investigate the influence of collision energy on the stereodynamics of the title reaction C+CD→C₂+D on the poten-tial energy surface of the 1²A' state developed by Boggio-Pasqua et al. Mol. Phys. 98, 1925 (2000). The product angular distributions which reflect the vector correlation have been calculated. In addition, two polarization-dependent different cross-sections are also presented in the center-of-mass frame respectively. The results indicate that the product C₂ is sensitively affected by collision energy.
