Dynamic and Kinetic Parameters and Energy Exchanges of Particles in Reaction of NH + OH and Deuterated Analogues on an Interpolated Potential Energy Surface.

In this research, we reported an interpolated potential energy surface (PES) from ab initio electronic energy of molecular fragments for NH + OH reaction and isotopic substitution. Classical trajectory simulations were performed on this surface to determine reaction probabilities and reaction cross sections in various channels. Also, reaction probability and reaction cross section as a function of the translation energy of fragments were shown. For inelastic collision, the conversion of kinetic energy of particles into internal energy or kinetic energy of another particle was studied. The effect of the impact parameter and relative translational energy of particles on the deflection angle was also investigated. Nonlinear least squares fitting was applied to compute rate constants expressions and these were computed as a function of the cross section. Deuterium was used instead of the hydrogen atom to investigate the effect of the mass of the target molecule and incident molecule on the cross section, reaction probability, scattering angle, and reaction rate.
