A detailed trajectory study of the OH+CO → H+CO2 reaction

Extensive quasiclassical trajectory calculations of the rate coefficients, cross sections and product distributions of the OH + CO reaction have been carried out. From the detailed comparison of the values obtained on the most popular potential energy surfaces proposed in the literature an evaluation of the suitability of these surfaces for modeling the reactive process is made.
