✦ Synopsis
The potential energy surface for the CH, +CH: reaction system has been calculated with the ab initio method. A stable complex, responsible for the complex mechanism, has been found but is hard to reach. Each of the two direct mechanisms, hydrogen transfer and proton transfer, has been shown to consist of a combination of electron transfer and hydrogen atom transfer processes.

The hydrogen atom abstraction reaction, CH, + CH,CN + CH, + CH,CN, has been studied by means of both the ab initio MO and the reaction dynamics methods in order to shed light on the reaction mechanism at low temperature. The potential energy surface (PES) for the reaction was calculated by means of
