Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism for the self-reaction of ClO radicals were investigated at the G2M/B3LYP/6-311+G(3df) level of theory in conjunction with statistical rate constant calculations. Experimentally determined rate constants for the bimolecular association process producing Cl 2 O 2 were quantitatively determined for only with the inclusion of both ClOOCl and ClOClO dimer products. The rate constants for the formation of Cl 2 +O 2 (k 2 ), Cl+ClOO (k 3 ), and Cl+OClO (k 4 ), were reasonably accounted for theoretically.
