A quantum calculation has been performed using the centrifugal-sudden distorted-wave (CSDW) method for the three-dimensional Cl+DCl{r arrow}ClD+Cl reaction. Three potential energy surfaces have been employed: two extended London--Eyring--Polanyi--Sato surfaces (denoted Bondi--Connor--Manz--Roemelt (BCMR) and Persky--Kornweitz 3 (PK3)) and a scaled and fitted {ital ab} {ital initio} one (denoted sf-POLCI). Quantities calculated include: cumulative reaction probabilities, integral cross sections, rotational product distributions, and rate coefficients. Differential cross reactions are also reported for the PK3 surface, which are compared with the results from a simple semiclassical optical model (close agreement is found). We also compare the Cl+DCl results with earlier CSDW calculations for Cl+HCl{r arrow}ClH+Cl. The rotational distributions are strongly perturbed by isotope substitution and are sensitive to variations in the potential surface. In contrast, the H and D rate coefficients for all three surfaces agree with experimental values, except for Cl+DCl on PK3.
