The reaction of OH radicals with olefins is known to be important in atmospheric chemistry. From experimental data a global mechanism has been proposed, but the regioselectivity of the products is uncertain. In this work, the OH-propene-O 2 reaction has been studied with ab initio molecular orbital

✦ Synopsis
Ab initio calculations are used to examine the energetics for the reaction of FO radicals and H,O. Optimized geometries have been calculated for all reactants, transition states, and products at the unrestricted second-order Msller-Plesset perturbation level of theory. Both Msller-Plesset perturbation (up to fourth-order) and quadratic configuration interaction (QCISD(T) ) methods are used to compute the energetics. The best estimate for the heat of reaction is 18.1 kcal mol-' at the QCISD( T ) /6-3 1 1 + + G (Zdf, 2d) level of theory, while the activation energy at this level is estimated as 25.7 kcal mol-'. The atmospheric implications of this result are discussed.

## Abstract The deviation of the NH~2~ pseudo‐first‐order decay Arrhenius plots of the NH~2~ + O~3~ reaction at high ozone pressures measured by experimentalists, has been attributed to the regeneration of NH~2~ radicals due to the subsequent reactions of the products of this reaction with ozone. A
