Quantum dynamics of O-16 in collision with ortho- and para-(OO)-O-17-O-17

We report full quantum dynamical observables, such as integral and differential cross sections and rate constants, for the O-16 + (OO)-O-17-O-17 reactive collision process. We particularly emphasize the effect coming from the nonzero nuclear spin of O-17, leading to two nuclear spin isomers of O-34(2), ortho-and para-O-34(2) which can be studied independently and behave differently. A comparison with the O-16 + (OO)-O-18-O-18 collision is given. We find that processes involving (OO)-O-17-O-17 are always faster than with (OO)-O-18-O-18. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
