Abstract
Tunneling probabilities for the reactions O + HD → OH + D and O + DH →OD + H have been calculated by semiclassical dynamical methods and compared to accurate quantal calculations for the same potential energy surface. The results are used to test the reliability of variational transition state theory with the least-action semiclassical method for tunneling probabilities for the prediction of intramolecular kinetic isotope effects.
