Quantum state distributions for the H-2 product of the reaction of H atoms
with CD3(CH2)(4)CD3 at 1.6 eV collision energy have been measured to charac
terize the dynamics of hydrogen atom abstraction at secondary sites in line
ar alkanes. The measured distributions are compared with those obtained pre
viously for the H + n-C6H14 --> H-2 + C6H13 reaction. The two distributions
are quite similar. The small differences seen between them are evaluated w
ithin a local reaction model developed for these types of reactions. (C) 20
