Homework Statement
I had an assignment where I needed to calculate reaction rate constants at different temperatures. I was supposed to use ab initio method (meaning I should use Spartan software), molecular partition functions and Eyring equation. The reaction was:
[itex]H+HD \stackrel{}{\leftrightarrow} HHD \stackrel{}{\leftrightarrow} H_{2} + D [/itex]
Where H is hydrogen and D deuterium and HHD transition state. It worked very well I've calculated rate constants and answered all questions but one. The last thing asked to do was to compare results with literature values. I remember my instructor said some people actually did measure rate constant for this reaction experimentally, so I figured there will be a publication about this. The problem is that I can't find it, I don't know if this reaction has some specific name so that I can use it in my search queries. I've tried searching with whole reaction equation as a query but I've got nothing with Google Scholar and ISI Web of Knowledge. I'll be grateful if somebody can point me in the right direction.
