From: Imaging dynamic fingerprints of competing E2 and SN2 reactions

a Branching ratio of the different mechanisms of SN2 and E2 reactions in F− + C2H5I at 1.9 eV. Direct reaction pathways exhibit a dark colour, whereas all indirect mechanisms are marked by lighter colours. b Atomistic dynamics of a typical trajectory for the direct anti-E2 mechanism. The numbers indicated in the upper area of the cartoons correspond to the trajectory time in femtoseconds (10−15 s)
