The vector correlations between products and reagents for the title reactions have been calculated by the quasi-classical trajectory method at a collision energy of 21.32 kJ/mol on an accurate potential energy surface of Ho et al. （J. Chem. Phys. 119, 3063 （2003））. The peaks of the product angular distribution are found to be in both backward and forward directions for the two title reactions. The product rotational angular momentum is not only aligned, but also oriented along the negative direction of y-axis. These theoretical results are in good agreement with recent experimental findings for the two title reactions. The isotopic effect is also revealed and primarily attributed to the difference of the mass factor in the two title reactions.

Quasiclassical trajectory （QCT） calculations are first carried out to study the stereodynamics of the S （3p） ＋ H2 → SH ＋ H reaction based on the ab initio 13Atr potential energy surface （PES） （Lii etal. 2012 J. Chem. Phys. 136 094308）. The QCT-calculated reaction probabilities and cross sections for the S ＋ H2 （v = 0, j = 0） reaction are in good agreement with the previous quantum mechanics （QM） results. The vector properties including the alignment, orientation, and polarization- dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） of the product SH are presented at a collision energy of 1.8 eV. The effects of the vibrational and rotational excitations of reagent on the stereodynamics are also investigated and discussed in the present work. The calculated QCT results indicate that the vibrational and rotational excitations of reagent play an important role in determining the stereodynamic properties of the title reaction.

We have carried out a quasi-classical trajectory calculation for the reaction ofNe ＋ H2＋ （v = 0, j = 1） → NeH＋ ＋ H on the ground state （12AI） using the LZHH potential energy surface constructed by L/i et al. [Lu S J, Zhang P Y, Han K L and He G Z 2010 J. Chem. Phys. 132 014303]. Differential cross sections at many collision energies indicate that the reaction is dominated by forward-scattering. In addition, the Nell＋ product shows rotationally hot and vibrationally cold distributions. Stereodynamical results indicate that the products are strongly polarized in the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane and that the products rotate mainly in planes parallel to the scattering plane.

The distribution P（Фτ） of dihedral angle and the distribution P（θτ） of angle between k and j＇ have been presented at three different collision energies. Four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross-sections （2π/σ）（dσ00/dωt）, （2π/σ）（dσ20/dωt）, （2π/σ）（dσ22/dωt）, （（2π/σ）（dσ21-/dωt） are also calculated.

Influence of the reagent vibration on the stereodynamics of the reactions D^-+H_2 and H^-+D_2

Employing the quasi-classical trajectory method and the potential energy surface of Panda and Sathyamurhy [Panda A N and Sathyamurthy N 2004 J. Chem. Phys. 121 9343], the effect of the reagent vibration on vector correlation of the ion-molecule reactions D- ＋ H2 and H- ＋ D2 is studied at a collision energy of 35.7 kcal/mol. Four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross sections （2π/σ） （dσ00/dωt）, （2π/σ） （dσ20/dσ20）, （27π/σ） （dσ22＋/dwt）, and （2π/σ）（dπ/σ） are presented in the centre-of-mass reference frame, separately. At the same time, the effects on the product angular distributions P（θr）, P（~r） and P（Oφ） of the title reactions are also analysed. The calculated results show that the scattering tendencies of the product HD, the alignment and the orientation of j^1 sensitively depend on reagent molecule vibration.

Effect of ro-vibrational excitation of NeH^+ on the stereodynamics for the reactions H+NeH^+(v=1-3,j=1,3,5) →H_2^++Ne

The stereodynamics of the abstraction reaction H^＋ NeH^＋（v = 1-3,j = 1,3,5） → H2^＋ ＋ Ne is studied theoretically with a quasi-classical trajectory method on a new ab initio potential energy surface [ S J,Zhang P Y,Han K L and He G Z 2012 J.Chem.Phys.132 014303].The effects of vibrational and rotational excitation of reagent molecules on the polarization of the product are investigated.The reaction cross sections,the distributions of P（θr）,P（φr）,and polarizationdependent differential cross sections（PDDCSs） are calculated.The obtained cross sections indicate that the title reaction is a typical barrierless atom（ion）-ion（molecule） reaction.The initial vibrational excitation and rotational excitation of reagent molecules have distinctly different influences on stereodynamics of the title reaction,and the possible reasons for the differences are presented.

The stereodynamic properties of the F+HO(v,j) → HF+O reaction on^1 A' and ~3A' potential energy surfaces by quasi-classical trajectory calculations:Initial excitation effect(v=1-3, j=0 and v= 0, j=1-3)

The stereodynamic properties of the F ＋ HO （v, j） reaction are explored by quasi-classical trajectory （QCT） calculations performed on the 1At and 3At potential energy surfaces （PESs）. Based on the polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） and the angular distributions of the product angular momentum with the reactant at different values of initial v or j, the results show that the product scattering and product polarization have strong links with initial vibrationalrotational numbers of v and j. The significant manifestation of the normal DCSs is that the forward scattering gradually becomes predominant with the initial vibrational excitation increasing, and the scattering angle of the HF product taking place on the 3At potential energy surface is found to be more sensitive to the initial value of v. The product orientation and alignment are strongly dependent on the initial rovibrational excitation effect. With enhancement in the initial rovibrational excitation effect, there is an overall decrease in the product orientation as well as in the product alignment either perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k or along the direction of the y axis, for which the initial rotational excitation effect is much more noticeable than the vibrational excitation effect. Moreover, the initial rovibrational excitation effect on the product polarization is more pronounced for the 3At potential energy surface than for the 1At potential energy surface.

Theoretical study of stereodynamics for the D'+ DS(v=0,j=0) → D'D + S abstraction reaction

Quasiclassical trajectory （QCT） calculations have been performed for the abstraction reaction, Dt＋ DS（v = 0, j = 0） → D＇D ＋ S on a new LZHH potential energy surface （PES） of the adiabatic 3A＇＇ electronic state [Lü et al. 2012 J. Chem. Phys. 136 094308]. The collision energy effect on the integral cross section and product polarization are studied over a wide collision energy range from 0.1 to 2.0 eV. The cross sections calculated by the QCT procedure are in good accordance with previous quantum wave packet results. The three angular distribution functions, P（θr）, P（φr）, and P（θr,φr）, together with the four commonly used polarization-dependent differential cross sections （（2 π/σ） （ d σ00 / d ω1）, （2π/σ） （d σ20 / d ω1）, （2π/σ）（dσ22＋/dω1）, （2π/σ）（dσ21-/dω1）） are obtained to gain insight into the chemical stereodynamics of the title reaction. Influences of the collision energy on the product polarization are exhibited and discussed.

The collision energy effect on the stereodynamics of the Ca + HCl→CaCl + H reaction

The stereodynamics of the reaction of Ca ＋ HCl are calculated at three different collision energies based on the potential energy surface [Verbockhaven G et al. 2005 J. Chem. Phys. 122 204307] using quasi-classical trajectory theory. The polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） （2π/σ ）（dσ 00 /dω t ）, （2π/σ ）（dσ 20 /dωt ）, （2π/σ ）（dσ 22＋ /dωt ）, （2π/σ ）（dσ 21 /dω t ） and the distributions of P（θ r ）, P（φr ）, and P（θr ,φr ） are calculated. The results indicate that the rotational polarization of the CaCl product presents different characteristics for the different collision energies, and the effects of the collision energy on the vector potential, including the alignment, orientation, and PDDCSs, are not obvious.

A theoretical study of the stereodynamics on the abstraction reactions H/D+HS/DS

The quasi-classical trajectory （QCT） method is employed to calculate the stereodynamics of the abstraction reactions H/D ＋ HS/DS based on an accurate potential energy surface [Lti S J, Zhang P Y, Han K L and He G Z 2012 J. Chem. Phys. 136 094308]. The reaction cross sections of the title reaction are computed, and the vector correlations for different collision energies and different initial vibrational states are presented. The influences of the collision energy and reagent vibration on the product polarization are studied, and the product polarizations of the title reactions are found to be distinctly different, which arises from the different mass factors, collision energies, and reagent vibrational states.

Energy and rotation-dependent stereodynamics of H(~2S) + NH(a^1?) → H_2(X^1Σ_g^+) + N(~2D) reaction

Quasi-classical trajectory calculations are performed to study the stereodynamics of the H（~2S） ＋ NH（a^1？） →H_2（X^1Σ_g~＋） ＋ N（~2D） reaction based on the first excited state NH_2（1~2A＇） potential energy surface reported by Li et al.[Li Y Q and Varandas A J C 2010 J. Phys. Chem. A 114 9644] for the first time. We observe the changes of differential cross-sections at different collision energies and different initial reagent rotational excitations. The influence of collision energy on the k-k＇ distribution can be attributed to a purely impulsive effect. Initial reagent rotational excitation transforms the reaction mechanism from insertion to abstraction. The effect of initial reagent rotational excitations on k-k＇ distribution can be explained by the rotational excitation enlarging the rotational rate of reagent NH in the entrance channel to reduce the probability of collision between incidence H atom and H atom of target molecular. We also investigate the changes of vector correlations and find that the rotational angular momentum vector j＇ of the product H_2 is not only aligned, but also oriented along the y axis. The alignment parameter, the disposal of total angular momentum and the reaction mechanism are all analyzed carefully to explain the polarization behavior of the product rotational angular moment.

Theoretical study of stereodynamics for the reaction O(3P) ＋D2 (v=0, j=0) →OD＋D and isotope effect

Quasi-classical trajectory （QCT） calculations have been performed to study the product polarization behaviours in the reaction O（3p） ＋ D2 （v = 0, j = 0） → OD ＋ D. By running trajectories on the 3A′ and 3A″potential energy surfaces （PESs）, vector correlations such as the distributions of the polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs）, the angular distributions of P（θr） and P（Фr） are presented. Isotope effect is discussed in this work by a comprehensive comparison with the reaction O（3p） ＋ H2 （v = 0, j = 0） → H ＋ H. Common characteristics as well as differences are discussed in product alignment and orientation for the two reactions. The isotope mass effect differs on the two potential energy surfaces： the isotope mass effect has stronger influence on P（θr） and PDDCSs of the 3A′ PES while the opposite on P（Фr） of the 3A′ potential energy surface.

The effect of collision energy on the stereodynamics of the reaction H(~2S)+NH(X^3∑^-,v = 0,j = 0)→ N(~4S)+H_2

The quasi-classical trajectory （QCT） is calculated to study the stereodynamics properties of the title reaction H（^2S） ＋ NH （X^3 ∑^-, v = 0, j = 0）→ N（^4S） ＋ H2 on the ground state ^4A″ potential energy surface （PES） constructed by Zhai and Han [2011 Jr. Chem. Phys. 135 104314]. The calculated QCT reaction probabilities and cross sections are in good agreement with the previous theoretical results. The effects of the collision energy on the k-kt distribution and the product polarization of H2 are studied in detail. It is found that the scattering direction of the product is strongly dependent on the collision energy. With the increase in the collision energy, the scattering directions of the products change from backward scattering to forward scattering. The distribution of P（Or） is strongly dependent on the collision energy below the lower collision energy （about 11.53 kcal/mol）. In addition, the P（（Pr） distribution dramatically changes as the collision energy increases. The calculated QCT results indicate that the collision energy plays an important role in determining the stereodynamics of the title reaction.
