Crossed molecular beam studies of the O(D-1)+NH3 reaction
The O(D-1)+NH3 reaction has been investigated using the improved universal crossed molecular beam technique. Two different reaction channels, OH+NH2 and NHOH/NH2O+H, have been observed. OH formation is the dominant process, while the H formation process is minor. Different product angular distributions are also observed for these two product channels, indicating that the two reaction channels proceed with significantly different dynamics.
