Simple "half-collision" classical trajectories on model potential surfaces show that the lack of leaving-atom isotope effects on initial rotational state distributions P(N) in reactions of the type M\*+H2 (HD) -+MH( v, N) +H (D) would result from decomposition of H-M-H( D) intermediates on anisotrop
