The abstraction reaction of H and C-H stretch excited CHD3: A QCT study on an ab initio based potential energy surface

► We analyse the effects of the C-H stretch excitation on the reactivity of the H + CHD3 reaction. ► We employed a recent ab initio based potential energy surface, PES-2009. ► When the C-H stretch mode is excited, the overall enhancement we obtain is 3.4. ► We found an enhancement of 7.2 and 1.2 for the H and D channels, respectively.
