The rate coefficient for the reaction (1) OH + OH --\* HzO + 0 has been determined in mixtures of nitric acid (HNO3) and argon in incident shock wave experiments. Quantitative OH time-histories were obtained by cw narrow-linewidth uv laser absorption of the Rl(5) line of the A2 x+ + X 2 ni (0,O) tra

✦ Synopsis
An improved version of a recently reported semiclassical wavepacket approach is used to compute initial state selected total integral cross sections as well as thermal rate constants for the reaction OH+H2 ---* H20+H. The method involves treating the diatomic vibrations as well as their relative translational motion quantum mechanically by solving the time-dependent Schrfdinger equation. The rotational motion is described classically. The computed initial state selected total reaction cross section and rate constants are in satisfactory agreement with the recently reported six-dimensional wavepacket results of Zhang and Zhang. Computed thermal rate constants are in good agreement with the six-dimensional quantal results of Manthe et al. but roughly a factor of three higher than the experimental results at 300 K.
