Rotational, steric, and coriolis effects on the F + HCl --> HF + Cl reaction on the 1(2)A' ground-state surface.

We present a quantum study of the reaction F((2)P) + HCl(X(1)Sigma(+)) --> HF(X(1)Sigma(+)) + Cl((2)P) on a recently computed 1(2)A' ground-state surface, considering HCl in the ground vibrational state, with up to 16 rotational quanta j(0). We employ the real wavepacket (WP) and flux methods for calculating coupled-channel (CC) and centrifugal-sudden (CS) initial-state probabilities up to J = 80 and 140, respectively. We also report CC and CS ground-state cross sections and CS excited-state cross sections and discuss the dynamics analyzing WP time evolutions. The HCl rotation highly enhances reaction probabilities and cross sections, as it was previously found for probabilities at J
