(Left) Reaction path energetics
for reactant
CHD3 initially in the ν = 0 (black arrow) and
ν1 = 1 (red) vibrational states. The curve
represents schematically a cut through the
multidimensional potential energysurfaces
governing reactivity. The numbers in the
parentheses indicate the vibrational quanta
of the product pairs relevant to this study.
(Right) Two normalized REMPI spectra of the probed CHD2
products, with IR-on (red) and IR-off (black), at Ec
= 3.6 kcal/mol. Two product images, both with IR-on, are
shown for probing of the
Q
and
Q
bands, respectively. Superimposed on the images are the
scattering directions; the 0° angle refers to the initial
CHD3 beam direction in the center-of-mass
frame.
