Recent electronic state-selected measurements of the reactions of atomic vanadium cations with D2 and CO2 are reanalyzed to properly account for the kinetic energy distribution of the reactant neutrals. The need for this is demonstrated in the present work by comparing the D2 data to that obtained previously in earlier experiments but unpublished. It is shown that the earlier data, which utilized a surface ionization source of V+, and the state-selected data for V+(a5D2) are essentially identical in the threshold regions where they overlap.
