Abstract

A key intermediate in hydrocarbon combustion, the vinyl radical, and its reactions with methane and ethane were studied by means of ab initio calculations. Values obtained for potential barriers, rate constants, and activation energies may prove useful for comparison with future laboratory measurements.
