An ab initio MP4 study has been made of the potential energy surface of the H + OCS reaction. Minima and saddle points leading to formation of OH +CS or SH + CO were found. Stationary points were located using the 6-31 G# basis set at the ROHF and UMP2 levels of theory, with energy refinements at th

✦ Synopsis
Preliminary results of ab initio unrcstiictcd Hnrtree-Fock calculations for the potential enerfiy surfact for the reaction N' + Hz + Nil+ + H ae reported. For the collinear approach of Nf to Hz, the 3 -
x surface has no activation barrier and has a shallow well (n. 1 eV). For perpendicular approach (Czv symmetry) the 'Bz slateis of high energy, the 3A2 state hss a shallow well but as the bond angle increases the 'B1 state decreases in ener_gy to become the state of lowest energy. Neither the collinear nor the perpCndiCUkIr approaches give adiabatic pathways to the deep potential well of 3B, (HNH!+.

We present an accurate calculation of the intermolecular potential surface for the van der Waals complex He-H20 using complete fourth-order M¢ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4) with an efficient basis set containing bond functions. The calculation gives a global minimum at R = 3.15 /~, 0 = 105 °
