✦ Synopsis
An extensive ab initio study of the benzene-Pt and benzene-Pt ÷ complexes is presented. The benzene-Pt complex has been found to have a C s equilibrium structure with Pt bonded to one of the C-C bonds in a bridged position above the plane of benzene, while the cationic complex has a C6v structure. Covalent forces lead to the formation of the Pt-benzene molecular complex, while electrostatic interactions prevail in the case of the benzene-Pt + complex. The reaction pathway of Pt + towards benzene has been studied in both the ground and lowest excited states.

## Abstract A direct dynamics method is employed to study the kinetics of the multiple channel reaction CH~3~OCl + Cl. The potential energy surface (PES) information is explored from __ab initio__ calculations. Two reaction channels, Cl‐ and H‐abstractions, have been identified. The optimized geome
Complexes of benzene with ammonium cations (Me,H(4\_ n)N + for n = 0-4) were studied using ab i nitio calculations with electron correlation included. The most stable structures and binding energies of the complexes are reported. The calculated binding energies are in good agreement with experiment.
Ab initio and density functional G2M(MP2)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d) calculations have been carried out to investigate the potential energy surface for the B + CO 2 ! BO + CO reaction. The most favorable reaction pathway has been shown to be B + CO 2 (0.0 kcal/mol) ! TS1 (19.2 kcal/mol) ! trans-BOCO ()25.1 k
