The rate of the reaction D+H2(v = 1)→DH+H

Abstract
The rate constant of the reaction D+H2(v = 1)→DH+H has been measured at 297 K as (9.8±3.0)×10−13 cm3 s−1. The reaction was studied using a discharge flow apparatus equipped for EPR detection of small free radicals. H2(v = 1) was generated using electric discharge techniques. Previous theoretical and experimental studies have been discussed.
