The hydrogen abstraction reaction of CF3CHFCF3 (HFC-227ea) by Cl atom is studied theoretically over a temperature range of 50–2000 K. The reaction path information such as geometries, gradients, etc. are initially obtained at the BB1K/6-31+G (d,p) level. In order to improve the energies, high level single point energy (SPE) calculations are carried out at BB1K/MG3S on BB1K/6-31+G(d,p) geometries. The rate coefficients are obtained by dual-level direct dynamics approach with the interpolated SPE method at BB1K/MG3S//BB1K/6-31+G(d,p) level. Aforementioned rate coefficients are calculated based on canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with small-curvature tunneling (SCT) correction. The results show that for the title reaction, variational effect is small while the tunneling effects are significant at low temperature. In order to investigate the reliability of improved BB1K potential energy surface in predicting barrier height of the reaction, different quantum models built such as QCISD(T)/6-311++G(d,p)//MP2/6-31G(d,p) , QCISD(T)/aug-cc-pv-DZ//MP2/6-31G(d,p) , and MP4SDQ/aug-cc-pv-DZ//MP2/6-31G(d,p) are applied to calculate the rate coefficients of the reaction. The results show the rate coefficients calculated based on MP2 potential energy surface are underestimated as compared to the experimental value. Finally three models are applied to fit the calculated rate coefficients over the temperature range of 50–2000 K. It is shown that the new four-parameter model provided a better temperature dependence than the other expressions. It is expected that obtained theoretical results can be useful for modeling the kinetics nature of the reaction of HFC-227ea and Cl atom over temperature range where no experimental data is accessible.

ABSTRACT Molecular ions play an important role in the astrochemistry of interstellar and circumstellar media. C3H+ has been identified in the interstellar medium recently. A new potential energy surface of the C3H+–He van der Waals complex is computed using the ab initio explicitly correlated coupled cluster with the single, double and perturbative triple excitation [CCSD(T)-F12] method and the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence triple zeta (aug-cc-pVTZ) basis set. The potential presents a well of 174.6 cm−1 in linear geometry towards the H end. Calculations of pure rotational excitation cross-sections of C3H+ by He are carried out using the exact quantum mechanical close-coupling approach. Cross-sections for transitions among the rotational levels of C3H+ are computed for energies up to 600 cm−1. The cross-sections are used to obtain the collisional rate coefficients for temperatures T ≤ 100 K. Along with laboratory experiments, the results obtained in this work may be very useful for astrophysical applications to understand hydrocarbon chemistry.
