Abstract

All the possibilities of the interaction between H and C 6 H 5 were explored. The potential energy hypersurface (PES) encompassing these processes were computed at the G2M(cc,MP2)//B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of thery and the rate constants for the individual and/or directly coupled reactions were calculated with transition-state theory (TST) or RRKM theory. The results indicate that the reactions can occur by various mechanisms.
