Abstract
We report a theoretical dynamics study of the title five-atom atmospheric r eaction using the quasiclassical trajectory method and a realistic double m any-body expansion potential energy surface recently reported for HO4((2)A) . A comparison with available results on the OH(v) quenching based on nonre active collisions is also presented. The results indicate that vibrational excitation strongly enhances reactivity, with removal of vibrationally exci ted OH occurring predominantly through chemical reaction.
