High Level

The transition states for the H 2 NO decomposition and rearrangements mechanisms have been explored by the CBS-Q method or by density functional theory. Six transition states were located on the potential energy surface, which were explored with the Quadratic Complete Basis Set (CBS-Q) and Becke's one-parameter density functional hybrid methods. Interesting deviations between the CBS-Q results and the B1LYP density functional theory lead us to believe that further study into this system is necessary. In the efforts to further assess the stabilities of the transition states, bond order calculations were performed to measure the strength of the bonds in the transition state.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

The mechanism of the reaction of the monobromocarbene (1CHBr) with3O2was studied theoretically at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level on the singlet potential energy surface (PES). All structures of the stationary points (reactants, intermediates, transition states and products) were optimized and their energies were obtained. Three product channels, P1(HCO + BrO), P2(CO2+ HBr) and P3(CO + HOBr), are found. P2(CO2+ HBr) is the most favorable one both kinetically and thermodynamically.

Energy Barriers

The complex potential energy surface for the self-reaction of CH 2 ClO 2 radicals, including 12 intermediates, 33 interconversion transition states, and 21 major dissociation products, was theoretically probed at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory. The geometries and relative energies for various stationary points were determined. Based on the calculated CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ potential energy surface, the possible mechanism for the studied system was proposed. It is shown that the most feasible channels are those leading to 22 CH 2 ClO + 3 O 2, 2 CH 2 ClO + 2 HO 2 + CHClO , 2 CH 2 ClO + HCl + 2 CH(O)O 2, 2 CH 2 ClO + 3 O 2 + 2 Cl + CH 2 O , and p,s,o- CH 2 ClOOOCl + CH 2 O with the energy barriers of 5.6, 11.8, 12.4, 12.4, and 13.5 kcal/mol, respectively. Their mechanisms are that CH 2 ClO 2 and CH 2 ClO 2 form a tetroxide intermediate first, then the intermediate dissociates to yield the productions or through multi-steps reactions to produce the final products.

By following the intrinsic reaction coordinate connecting transition states with energy minima on the potential energy surface, we have determined the reaction steps connecting three-dimensional hexaborane(12) with unknown planar two-dimensional hexaborane(12). In an effort to predict the potential synthesis of finite planar borane molecules, we found that the reaction limiting factor stems from the breaking of the central boron-boron bond perpendicular to the C2 axis of rotation in three-dimensional hexaborane(12).
