Abstract
Nitrosyl cation (NO^+^) generating reaction HONO + H^+^ β NO^+^ + H~2~O has been theoretically investigated by B3LYP and highβelectronβcorrelation QCISD methods with 6β31G (d,p) basis set. The solvent effects on the geometries, reaction path properties, energies, thermodynamic, and kinetic characters in four solvents (benzene, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, and water) have been calculated using selfβconsistent reaction field (SCRF) approach with the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The results show that the activation energy barriers and the relative energies of the products are decreased with increase of the polarities of the solvents, and the reaction is favored in polar solvents thermodynamically and kinetically.

A recently developed ab initio MO theory including solvent effects has been applied to a typical cation-anion reaction, the SN2 reaction of the trimethylsulfonium cation with the chloride anion. In the gas phase, the trimethylsulfonium and chloride ions are unstabilized, and the reaction is expected
