The multiple channel reaction H + CH(3)CH(2)Cl --> products has been studied by the ab initio direct dynamics method. The potential energy surface information is calculated at the MP2/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. The energies along the minimum energy path are further improved by single-point energy

✦ Synopsis
Recent studies suggest that the destruction of methane by Cl* in the marine boundary layer could be accounted for as another major sink besides the methane destruction by OH l . High level ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been carried out to study the CH4 + Cl l reaction, the carbon Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) is calculated using Conventional Transition-State Theory (CTST) plus Wigner and Eckart semiclassical tunneling corrections. The calculated KIE is around 1.026 at 300 K and has a small temperature variation. This is by far the largest KIE among different processes involving atmospheric methane destruction (e.g., OH l , soil). A calculated mass balance of atmospheric methane including the KIE for the CH4 + Cl l reaction is found to favor those methane budgets with enhanced biological methane sources, which have relatively lighter carbon isotope composition.
