Title: Comparison of quasi-classical, transition state theory, and quantum calculations of rate constants and activation energies for the collinear reaction X + F/sub 2/. -->. XF + F (X = Mu, H, D, T)

Accurate quantum total reaction probabilities for the collinear reaction X + F/sub 2/ (upsilon = 0.1) ..-->.. XF + F (X = Mu, H, D, T) have been used to calculate collinear rate constants and activation energies. Comparison is made with collinear quasi-classical trajectory calculations and transition state theory assuming classical motion along a separable reaction coordinate and vibrational adiabaticity. Considerable differences between the quantum and quasi-classical and transition state theory results are found only for the Mu reaction at low temperatures. 5 figures, 35 references, 6 tables.
