Quasiclassical trajectory study of the reaction of fast H atoms with C–H stretch excited CHD3

Quasiclassical trajectory calculations are reported of the reactions H + CHD3 (νC–H stretch = 0, 1) to give H2 + CD3 and HD + CHD2 using a recent ab initio-based CH5 potential energy surface. The cross-sections, angular, and internal energy distributions are calculated at the initial relative kinetic energy of 1.53 eV in order to make comparisons with corresponding recent experiments [J.P.
