✦ Synopsis
The poteniiaI surface for the reaction H,CN+H* -HCN+H + Hz has been studieu by ab initio SCF calculations, using gaussian-type basis functions. A saddle point on the surface has been found, and a reaction path is proposed to explain the observed reIease tii kinetic energy.

Ab initio molecular-orbital calculations have been carried out on the H,SiN+ cation (C,,). In contrast with the isovalent H&N+ ion (C,,), a triplet state ('AZ) is the most stable, but the singlet state ('A, ) appears to be a local minimum, even at correlated levels. However, this singlet species ise

## Abstract In the present paper, kinetic isotope effects of the title reaction are studied with canonical variational transition state theory on the modified Wang Bowman (MWB) potential energy surface (PES) (__Chem Phys Lett__ 2005, 409, 249) and the ab initio calculations at the quadratic configu
