A rigorous test of the statistical model for atom-diatom insertion reactions

Journal article

The statistical model of atom-diatom insertion reactions was combined with CC capture theory. The resultant methodology was employed to calculate differential cross sections for the reactions of C(1D), N(2D), O(1D) and S(1D) with H2. A comparison of the resulting initial state-selected differential cross sections with the exact quantum reactive scattering calculations of Honvaultand Launay showed that all four reactions behave essentially statistically on their ground adiabatic potential energy surfaces.
