Quasiclassical Trajectory Study of the Environmental Reaction O + HO2 → OH + O2

Abstract

We report a detailed dynamics and kinetics study of the title reaction over the range of translational energies 0.418 ≤ Etr/kJ mol-1 ≤ 62.760 by employing the quasiclassical trajectory method and a recently reported double many-body expansion potential energy surface for ground-state HO3. A comparison of the calculated thermal rate constants with the available experimental results is also presented.
