Abstract
The O(D-1)+NH3 reaction has been investigated using the improved universal crossed molecular beam technique. Two different reaction channels, OH+NH2 a nd NHOH/NH2O+H, have been observed. OH formation is the dominant process, w hile the H formation process is minor. Different product angular distributi ons are also observed for these two product channels, indicating that the t wo reaction channels proceed with significantly different dynamics.
