The dynamics of the Cl+C2H6→HCl(v′, j′) + C2H5 reaction at 0.24 eV: Is ethyl a spectator?

The hydrogen atom abstraction reaction between Cl(2P3/2) and ethane was studied at a mean collision energy of 0.24 eV. Single beam experiments revealed both center-of-mass angular and energy release distributions.
