Crossed molecular beams and theoretical studies of the O(3P)+ 1,2-butadiene reaction: Dominant formation of propene+CO and ethylidene+ketene molecular channels
Detailed understanding of the mechanism of the combustion relevant multichannel reactions of O( 3 P) with unsaturated hydrocarbons (UHs) requires the identification of all primary reaction products, the determination of their branching ratios and assessment of intersystem crossing (ISC) between triplet and singlet potential energy surfaces (PESs).
