Abstract

The doublet ground electronic state potential energy surface of the CH3 + O (3P) system has been optimized at the CCSD/aug-cc-pVTZ, CCSD/aug-cc-pVDZ and B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p) levels of theory. The energies of the stationary points were refined by single-point energy calculation at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//CCSD/aug-cc-pVTZ and G2M//B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p) levels of theory. The rate constants for two lower energy channels (CH2O + H and CHO + H2) have been computed with the micro-canonical VTST/RRKM theory using the energies predicted at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level. These rate constants exhibit positive temperature dependence. The predicted rate constants and the individual product branching ratios are in reasonable agreement with expeirmetnal data.
