Abstract

Direct ab initio dynamical calculations at the PMP4SDTQ/6-311 + G(3df, 2p)//MP2/6-31 + G(d) level have been performed on the reactions of atomic hydrogen with methylgermanes, GeH3CH3 and GeH2(CH3)2, over the temperature range 200-2000 K. The obtained CVT/SCT thermal rate constants are in good agreement with available experimental values. The results show that the variational effect and small-curvature tunneling effects are unimportant for the two reactions over the whole temperature range. The rate constants are fitted to the three-parameter expressions over the whole temperature range 200-2000 K: k(GeH3CH3 + H) = 1.815 × 108T1.817 exp(-691/T) cm3 mol-1 s-1 and k[GeH2(CH3)2 + H] = 2.448 × 108T1.727 exp(-639/T) cm3 mol-1 s-1.
