24. c of about 3.5 kcal/mol with a comparable energy spread. Averaging the reactivity ratio shown in Fig. 2C over this energy spread will then yield an enhancement factor that is substantially higher than its actual ratio. Similarly, the HCl(v′ = 1) branching fraction from the photoloc experiment will be somewhat smaller because of the threshold effects (Fig. 3).
25. 3 products. Taking this factor into account, the stretching enhancement factor at 8.1 kcal/mol shown in Fig. 2E will then rise from ∼0.95 to 1.4, which is still a rather modest preferential enhancement and almost equivalent to the bending enhancement factor.
