The cross sections of the title reactions were calculated as functions of collision energy in the range 0.2-2.4 eV on a potential energy surface of Panda and Sathyamurthy [J. Chem. Phys. 121, 9343 (2004)]. The calculated results with the Coriolis coupled method were found to be more consistent with the experimental ones than the centrifugal sudden approximation, thus suggesting that Coriolis coupling plays an important role in those reactions. A pronounced isotopic effect was also revealed and attributed to the significant difference of the effective potential barrier height in both reactions.
