Primary Energy Distribution in the Products of the Reaction F + HBr -> HF(ν') + Br

It is shown that the title reaction creates HF with approximately the maximum vibrational and rotational excitation permitted by the exoergicity.Thus it appears to exhibit the same dynamics as the other members of the X + HY reaction family (X,Y halogen atoms).This result was obtained from a low-pressure infrared chemiluminescence experiment in which special procedures were introduced to show the absence of all gas-phase and surface energy transfer processes which might distort the measured distribution.
