Direct ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) calculations have been applied to a S N 2 reaction OH − + CH 3 Cl → CH 3 OH + Cl − . The collision dynamics with non-zero impact parameters were treated in the present study, and the results are compared with the near collinear collision dynamics previously reported by us [H. Tachikawa, M. Igarashi, T. Ishibashi, J. Phys. Chem. A 106 (2002) 10977]. The collision energy was fixed to 25 kcal/mol. The product state distribution obtained for the non-zero impact parameter collision dynamics was slightly different from that of the collinear collision. The distribution of relative translational energy between products Cl − and CH 3 OH in the non-zero impact parameter collision dynamics was shifted to higher energy region from that of collinear collision. Also, it was found that the mean translational energy of the product has a maximum at non-zero impact parameter ( b = 0.6–1.2 A). The reaction mechanism is discussed on the basis of theoretical results. |
