Application of the vibrationally adiabatic and static distorted wave Born approximations to the reaction H+F2(γ=O,j=0)→HF(γ',j')+F

Relative vibration-rotation reaction probabilities for the H+F2(γ=0,j=0)→HF(γ',j')+F reaction on the best extended LEPS potential energy surface No. II of Jonathan et al. (1972-3) have been computed using a three-dimensional, quantum-dynamical distorted-wave Born approximation. Good agreement with experimental, quasiclassical trajectory and collinear quantum results has been obtained provided the vibrational wavefunction of F2 is allowed to distort adiabatically as the H atom approaches, and is not held static.
