Abstract
Velocity‐aligned, superthermal O(1D) atoms generated via the photodissociation of N2O have been employed to investigate the stereodynamics of the title reaction. The power of this experimental technique, when coupled with Doppler‐resolved, polarized laser‐induced fluorescence probing of the reaction products, is demonstrated by reference to the specific reaction channel leading to NO(υ’=0)+NO(υ’=16,17), which is shown to proceed via direct stripping dynamics. Furthermore, the observed product‐state selective linear and angular momenta disposals imply that the reaction is stereodynamically constrained to occur via collinear collision geometries.Keywords
