Comments:
The dynamics of ground state Cl(2P3/2) atom reactions with methanol, methanol-d1 , ethanol, and dimethyl ether were studied both experimentally and theoretically. The rotational quantum state population distributions of the nascent HCl(?u?) products were probed by 2+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Nascent HCl(?u?=0) reaction products at mean collision energies in the range of 5.6-6.7 kcal/mol, exhibit distributions of population over rotational levels that all peak at J?3-5. The average rotational energies of the HCl(?u?=0) products for the respective reactions were determined. The results are interpreted with the help of ab initio calculation results. The degree of rotational excitation of the HCl, which is significantly greater than for Cl atom abstraction of an H atom from alkanes, is attributed to a dipole?ipole interaction between the HCl and RCHOR?(R, R?= H or CH3) moieties in the products?region of the potential energy surface.
