Abstract
Reaction cross sections and rate constants for the F+HD reaction have been calculated on the recently released Stark-Werner (SW) ab initio p otential energy surface (PES) using the quasiclassical trajectory (QCT ) method. The results are compared to other theoretical calculations o n different PESs and to experimental isotopic branching ratios. The ge neral agreement is good. Dynamical features related to the asymmetric nature of the HD molecule are also discussed.
