Extended Data Fig. 3: Comparisons of the dσ/du distributions of the CH2D(00) + HCl(v = 0, 1) channels in the reactions of Cl atoms with two Fermi-dyad reagents, CH3D(v1-I and v1-II).
From: Fermi-phase-induced interference in the reaction between Cl and vibrationally excited CH3D
At each Ec (indicated at the upper-left corner, in kcal mol−1), two distributions are normalized by the slow-speed components for ready comparison. The vibrational branching of the HCl(v) co-products evolves from a hotter one at low Ec to a colder one with increasing Ec. Also note the nearly identical distributions in reactions with the v1-I and v1-II reagents for Ec ≤ 5.2 kcal mol−1 and slight differences at higher Ec. The product pair is labelled as (vCH2D, vHCl)s with the subscript “s” for the stretch-excited reaction.
