✦ Synopsis
The effect on the thermal rate constant and the differential cross-sections of varying the dimensionality of quantum scattering calculations of a polyatomic reaction is investigated. The rotating bond approximation (RBA, 3D) and a rotating line approximation (RLA, 2D) are used for the CH, + OH + CH, + H,O reaction. It is found that the RBA and RLA results are in close agreement when an adiabatic treatment is used for the degree of freedom which is treated explicitly in the RBA but not in the RLA.
