Experimental and reduced dimensionality quantum rate coefficients for H2(D2)+CN→H(D)CN+H(D)

Abstract
New experimental rate coefficients are reported for the H2(D2)+CN→H(D)CN+H(D) reactions over the temperature range 209 to 740 K for H2 and 250 to 740 K for D2. Previous reduced dimensionality reaction probabilities for the reaction with H2, and new ones for the reaction with D2 are used to obtain analogous rate coefficients. In addition, reaction probabilities and rate coefficients for vibrationally excited reactants H2(v=1), D2(v=1), or CN(v=1) are presented. Comparisons of the calculated rate coefficients are made with the new and previous experiments, especially those of Sims and Smith [Chem. Phys. Lett. 1 4 9, 565 (1988)].
