Three-center semi-empirical potential energy surfaces for the reactions F+H2Oand F+OH

Three-center semi-empirical LEPS potential energy surfaces were constructed for the F + HX (X = OH) and F + OH reactions. Trajectory calculations on these surfaces reproduced quite well the available experimental results with regard to rate constants and vibrational state distributions of the products. The results are presented and discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
