| Shrnutí: | Velocity-aligned, superthermal O(1D) atoms generated via the photodissociation of N2O have been employed to investigate the stereodynamics of the title reaction. The power of this experimental technique, when coupled with Doppler-resolved, polarized laser-induced fluorescence probing of the reaction products, is demonstrated by reference to the specific reaction channel leading to NO(v′=0)+NO(v′=16,17), which is shown to proceed via direct stripping dynamics. Furthermore, the observed product-state selective linear and angular momenta disposals imply that the reaction is stereodynamically constrained to occur via collinear collision geometries. © 1992 American Institute of Physics.
