Popis: Simplified representations of branching fractions for thermal unimolecular two-channel reactions are discussed. The dissociation of formaldehyde serves as an illustrative example. Quantum-corrected classical trajectory calculations on an ab initio potential energy surface are combined with master equation calculations for collisional energy transfer. The treatment accounts for roaming atom dynamics. The dependence of the channel branching fractions on the bath gas pressure and temperature, on the collision efficiencies, and on the difference of channel threshold energies, are explored. It is discussed to what extent the derived simplified representations of channel branching fractions can be generalized.
