Unravelling the reactivity of antisymmetric stretch-excited CH4 with Cl by-product pair-correlation measurements.
The vibrational branching ratio [CH(3)(v=0) + HCl(v'=1)]/[CH(3)(v=0) + HCl(v'=0)] of two correlated product pairs from the title reaction shows a dramatic E(c)-dependence, in sharp contrast to the previously observed behavior in Cl + CHD(3)(v(1)=1), while the vibrational enhancement factors in reactivity of the two reactions are remarkably similar.
