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.
The NeH potentiaI energy surface has been examined by ab initio molncuiar orbital theory usin8 the 6-3 lG\*\* basis set with correlation enem ev&ated by MQIIer-Plesset perturbation theory to fourth order. The AE for N2H + N2 + H is -14.4 kcal mol-' and the barrier to dissociation is 10.5 kcal mol-r
The reaction energy profile for H q OH ¬ H q H O was computed 2 2 using HF, MP2, MP4, QCISD, G1, G2, and G2MP2 ab initio methods. In addition, the Ž . B3LYP, B3P86, B3PW91, BLYP, BP291, and SVWN density functional theory DFT methods were also used. All the ab initio methods, with the exception of th
The mechanism of electronic quenching of the A 2A state of CH by ground-state H, is qualitatively investigated by calculating the appropriate potential energy surfaces. It is shown that the appearance of an early potential barrier of 0.15 eV and of a late barrier of 0.6 eV on the potential energy su
Unimolecular dissociations of CFaH into (1) CF2(1AI ) + HF, (2) CF 3 + H and (3) CF2H + F were studied by means of RRKM and PST calculations on an ab initio potential energy surface. Activation energies for the three channels (1), ( 2) and (3) are 73.95, 108.20 and 130.02 kcal/mol at G2 level, respe
