2. How do vibrations affect reactions?

3. Local vs Normal modes

12. Spectator Model

13. Product Distributions

14. Product Distributions

15. Product Distributions

16. Conclusions
Vibrational excitation of C-H overtone stretches enhance the H abstraction rate
The |110>|0> mode reacts to produce C-H stretch excited CH2D products, while |200>|0> yields ground state products
This provides support for the spectator model
