Abstract

The translational energy (Etr) dependence of the reaction cross section σR for K + RI → KI + R (R CH3) has been calculated (via classical trajectories) using a three-body potential of the electron-jump type. The maximum in the computed σR (Etr), attributed to recrossing from the ionic to covalent potential, is qualitatively similar to that found in the experiments of Gersh and Bernstein.
