Abstract: | The hydrogen abstraction reaction from methane by a hydroxyl radical produces two polyatomic molecules. Each product has several vibrational modes that characterize distinct, concerted motions of the constituent atoms of the molecule. This communication describes the first measurement that maps out the coincident information on how the mode of excitation of one product varies with that of the other co-product. Such information on mode correlation of product pairs is particularly appealing in that it provides intuitively a glimpse of the reaction paths by which the chemical transformation occurs. |
