Abstract
The kinetically competitive combination and disproportionation of alkyl radicals are important to the global chemistry of hydrocarbon decomposition and combustion processes. Complete potential energy surface for the reaction of CH 3 -C 2 H 5 was calculated at the G2M (CC2)//B3LYP/6-311+G(3df, 2p) level. Rate constant calculations show that formation of C 3 H 8 is dominant at 200-3000 K. Predicted rates reasonably agreed with experimental data.
