Comment on 'A Paradox: The Thermal Rate Coefficient for the H + DCl yields HCl + D Exchange Reaction'.

Abstract

Experimental data are presented that show that chlorine atom abstraction from HCl by a colliding D or H atom is relatively slow at room temperature. These slow rates are much smaller than those obtained by trajectory calculations, suggesting that the activation energy for this process is > 3 kcal/mol. (Author)
