In this letter \e report preliminary results concerning the dynamics of the chemical reaction C&)+HF(S'X+,v= 1.X) 4 C.F(x ?,+ _ u'.J') + 11('S) -An optrcal parametric oscillator (OPO) prepares the 11F molecule in d selected rotational 1evel.J = O-7. of the u = 1 state. A visible dye laser probes the resulting CaF product to determine its nascent internal-state distribution from its fluorescence excitation spectrum. We find that reagent rotation is efficiently converted to product vibration_ For some time, tunable dye lasers have been used to examine product internal-energy distributions in reaction dynamics experiments [I].

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
The reaction C( 'P) +NsO(% \*C+) is studied by varying the kinetic energy of C(3P) in two center-of-mass regimes: 0.1-0.2 eV and 2-7 eV. C( 3P) is directly observed, and the C, velocity distribution is estimated from the time-of-flight of Cs. CN(X %+) is vibrationally inverted and rotationally 'hot'
The effect of rotational quantum states (J=O, 1) on the tunneling reaction H2 t T+ H t HT in solid Xe-HI-D2 mixtures has been studied at 77 K. When T atoms are produced by a 6Li(n, a)T reaction in xenon-hydrogen (1 mol%) mixtures, most recoil T atoms are thermalized before encountering the solute hy
