We report a dynamics study of the reaction [Formula: see text] using an improved double many-body expansion (DMBE II) potential energy surface for the ground triplet state of O 4. Values of the calculated cross section, vibrational and rotational distributions, as well as thermal rate coefficient as a function of temperature are given. While some discrepancy with experiment is found in the rotational distribution of the product O 2 molecules with vibrational quantum number v = 12, the agreement is quite good for the thermal rate coefficient over the whole range of temperatures where theory and experiment overlap. No breakdown of a previously suggested spectator bond mechanism is observed. Reasons to support such an evidence are given from ab initio calculations by looking at the variation of the energy and calculated bond distances as a function of the intrinsic reaction coordinate along the products channel.

By following the intrinsic reaction coordinate connecting transition states with energy minima on the potential energy surface, we have determined the reaction steps connecting three-dimensional hexaborane(12) with unknown planar two-dimensional hexaborane(12). In an effort to predict the potential synthesis of finite planar borane molecules, we found that the reaction limiting factor stems from the breaking of the central boron-boron bond perpendicular to the C2 axis of rotation in three-dimensional hexaborane(12).

This paper reports the results of quasiclassical trajectory calculation on extended London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato potential energy surface for the reaction between Ba atom and HI . The rotational distribution, vibrational distribution, reaction cross section, and rotational alignment are all obtained and they are under detailed discussion for product BaI . The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
