Constraints at the transition state of the D + H2 reaction: quantum bottlenecks vs. stereodynamics
Literature Information

This article presents a quasiclassical trajectory method for the calculation of cumulative reaction probabilities by sampling of the helicity quantum number of the reagents (k). The method is applied to the D + H2 reaction at various total angular momentum (J) values, and the helicity-resolved quasiclassical cumulative reaction probabilities are compared to their quantum mechanical counterparts. The agreement between the two sets of results is fairly good. In particular, k-dependent, J-independent reaction thresholds found with quantum methods are reproduced by the quasiclassical calculations. The shift of these thresholds with increasing k, which has been previously attributed to the quantum bottleneck states taking part in the reaction, is revisited and discussed also in terms of the reaction stereodynamics.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
