Abstract A quasiclassical trajectory study with the sixth-order explicit symplectic algorithm for the N(4S)+O2(X3Σg-) → NO(X2II) +O(3P) reaction has been reported by employing a new ground potential energy surface. We have discussed the influence of the relative translational energy, the vibrational and rotational levels of O2 molecules on the total reaction cross section. Thermal rate constants at temperatures 300, 600, and 1000K determined in this work for the reaction are 4.4×107, 1.8×1010, and 3.1 1011cm3mol-1s-1, respectively. It is found that they are in better agreement with the experimental data than previous theoretical values.
