We report results of wave-packet calculations of the reaction probabilities for the O({sup 1}D)+HCl(v=0,j,K){yields}ClO+H, OH+Cl, reactions, using a recent ab initio potential energy surface [K. A. Peterson, S. Skokov, and J. M. Bowman, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 2445 (1999)]. We find a striking effect of the initial rotation and alignment of HCl on the product branching ratio.
