title: The reaction of Cl with CH(4): a connection between kinetics and dynamics.
abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the reaction of Cl with CH(4) by combining measurements of thermal rate constants and state-dependent reaction cross sections. State-dependent measurements have shown that the reaction probability is enhanced by vibrational excitation of CH(4). Measured thermal rate constants were fit with a model incorporating this information. The results provide estimates of rate constants at extreme temperatures and information about the temperature and collision energy dependence of the vibrational enhancement.
