Abstract
The F+D2 and F+HD reactions were investigated in a high resolution crossed molecular beams experiment at several collision energies. The DF product from both reactions was predominantly backward scattered although some forward scattered DF(v=4) was observed at the highest energy studied. The HF angular distributions from F+HD were quite different, showing considerable forward scattered (v=3) and no other identifiable structure. These results disagree with classical trajectory studies, which predict only small variations in the product angular distributions among F+H2 and its isotopic variants. They agree, however, with the predicted dependence of dynamical resonance effects on isotopic substitution. The results therefore support the conclusions drawn in the previous paper regarding the role of dynamical resonances in the F+H2reaction.Keywords
