The quasi-classical trajectory method has been employed to investigate the initial vibrational and rotational effects of the title reaction on an improved ab initio potential energy surface for the 11A′ state. Meanwhile, isotopic effect has also been studied at collision energy of 19 kcal/mol. The product rotational alignment factor 〈P2(j′ • k)〉, angular distributions of P(ϕr), P(θr) and the generalized polarization dependent differential cross-sections have been calculated. The- results show that the reagent vibrational excitation generally strengthens the product alignment perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k and affects the product scattering preference, and the rotational excitation has the same trend from j = 0 to 2 except for the higher excitation of j = 3. Further, the substitution of atom H with D leads to a stronger product alignment while changes some stereodynamical properties subtly.

The vector correlations between products and reagents for the ion–molecule reaction O+ + D2 → OD+ + D with different rotational quantum numbers (j = 0, 1, or 2) were explored theoretically using the quasi-classical trajectory method (QCT) on a Martìnez–Millán–González (MMG) surface. The three angular distributions P(θr), P([Formula: see text]), and P(θr,[Formula: see text]), as well as four polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) were calculated. The results indicate that a reagent’s rotational excitation greatly influences both the vector correlations of k–k′, k–j′, and k–k′–j′ and the PDDCSs of the title reaction, which means the reactivity is very sensitive to the rotational quantum number.

The dynamical property of ground state CaBr formed in the reaction of Ca atom with CH 3 Br has been studied with the quasi-classical trajectory method based on a constructed extended London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato potential energy surface. In this paper, we report state-to-state distributions in the reaction of Ca with CH 3 Br . They are vibrational distribution, rotational distribution, rotational alignments of the product CaBr , and reaction cross section, which are under detailed investigation. The vibrational distribution of CaBr clearly shows that the peak is located at v = 8 at collision energy E col = 12.22 kcal / mol . The calculated results also show that the peak value of rotational population of the product CaBr is located at J = 50 at collision energy 12.22 kcal/mol. The reaction cross section increases with the increasing collision energy from 0.15 to 0.53 eV. The product rotational alignments deviate slightly from -0.5 and increase while the collision energy of reagent increase. By comparing with the experimental data, it can be found that the theoretical results closely agree with the experimental ones.

The classical trajectory method in a quantum spirit assigns statistical weights to classical paths on the basis of two semiclassical corrections: Gaussian binning and the adiabaticity correction.

The stereodynamics calculation of F + HO → HF + O(1D) was carried out using the quasi-classical trajectory method on the 11A′ potential energy surface provided by Gomez-Carrasco et al. (Chem. Phys. Lett. 2007, 435, 188). The effect of the collision energy, isotopic substitution, and different initial ro-vibrational states on the reaction is discussed. It is found that for the initial ground state of HO (v = 0, j = 0), the degree of the forward scattering and the product polarizations remarkably change as the collision energy varies. Isotopic effect leads to the increase of alignment and decrease of orientation of product rotational angular momentum. Moreover, the P(θr) distribution and P(φr) distribution change noticeably by varying the initial vibrational number. The initial vibrational excitation plays a more important role in the enhancement of alignment and orientation distribution of j′ for the title reaction. Although the influence of the initial rotational excitation effect on the aligned and oriented distribution of product is not stronger than that of the initial vibrational excitation effect, the initial rotational excitation makes the alignment of the product rotational angular momentum decrease to some extent. The probabilities show that the reactivity of the title reaction strongly depends on the initial vibrational state.
