  • Title: The reaction OH + C2H4: an example of rotational channel switching.
    Author: Golden DM.
    Journal: J Phys Chem A; 2012 May 03; 116(17):4259-66. PubMed ID: 22490004.
    Abstract:
    The low-temperature data for the reaction between OH and C(2)H(4) is treated canonically as either a two-well or one-well problem using the "Multiwell" suite of codes, in which a "well" refers to a minimum in the potential energy surface. The former is analogous to the two transition state model of Greenwald et al. [Greenwald, E. E.; North, S. W.; Georgievskii, Y.; Klippenstein, S. J. J. Phys. Chem. A2005, 109, 6031], while the latter reflects the dominance of the so-called "inner transition state". External rotations are treated adiabatically, causing changes in the magnitude of effective barriers as a function of temperature. Extant data are well-described with either model using only the average energy transferred in a downward direction, upon collision, ΔE(d)(T), as a fitting parameter. The best value for the parameters describing the rate coefficient as a function of temperature (200 < T/K < 400) (Data at lower temperature is too sparse to yield a recommendation.) and pressure in the form used in the NASA/JPL format [Sander, S.
