John Polanyi's reaction game

John Polanyi actually used dissociated hydrogen gas and hydrogen chloride in his Nobel prize winning experiment, but hydrogen flouride is very similar. Polanyi discovered many details about the transition state of the reaction; the instant of the collision between the H and HF. He inferred what was  happening by examining the infra-red radiation created by  the reaction during the transition state.
