The thermally induced decomposition of ethylene, C2H4, to acetylene, C2H2, on the Ni(111) surface has been treated theoretically: potential-energy curves were computed within a modified extended-Hi~ckel framework and reaction rates estimated via a master equation approach. As a preliminary step, ads

New high-level quantum chemical calculations have been undertaken to understand the rates and mechanisms of the reactive and associative channels for the reactants C2H2(+) + H2. The reactive channel, which produces C2H3(+) + H, has been shown to be slightly endothermic, confirming earlier calculatio
The successive C-H bond dissociation energies of CH,, &Hz. C2H4, and H&O (ketene) are determined using large basis sets and a high level of correlation treatment. For CHI, C2H2, and C2H4 the computed values are in excellent agreement with experiment. Using our results we recommend 107.9 +2.0 and 96.
