Effect of mutual configuration between molecular orientation and atomic orientation in the oriented Ar (3P2) plus oriented CF3H reaction

The steric effect in the dissociative energy transfer reaction of Ar (P-3(2),M-J=2)+CF3H has been observed as a function of the mutual configurations between the molecular orientation and the atomic orientation in the collision frame. The reactivity is significantly changed depending on the mutual configuration between the molecular orientation and the atomic orientation. Especially, the molecular alignment dependence is dramatically changed depending on the configuration of the atomic alignment.
