On product state distributions in triatomic unimolecular reactions: IV. Selfconsistency of the statisticodynamical approach

In a recent series of papers, we built up the so-called ‘statisticodynamical approach’ (SDA), a dynamically corrected transition state theory of rotational state distributions for elementary unimolecular dissociations governed by short-range forces. The dynamical correction was semi-empirical, requiring in part the use of the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method. The goal of the present note is the development of an iterative analytical procedure corroborating the QCT predictions and strengthening the selfconsistency of SDA.
