Abstract

Reactions of O(¹D) with hydrocarbon monomers and clusters were investigated by a crossed molecular beam experiment applying laser induced fluorescence for the detection of the OH product. The rotational, spin-orbit and (Lambda) -doubling state populations were analyzed. Based on this information the mechanisms for the reactions of O(¹D) with methane, propane and their clusters were established. Nonstatistical distributions are observed even for reactions of large clusters. These are discussed in terms of non-adiabatic effects induced by the long lived collision complex. Effect of the initial rotational temperature of the reactants on the energy distribution in the products is also presented.
