Abstract

The potential energy surface of HPS2 system containing nine isomers and fifteen transition states is obtained at MP2/6-311++G(d, p) and QCISD(t)/6-311++G(3df,2p)(single-point) levels. On the potential energy surface, the lowest-lying trans-HSPS(E1) is found to be thermodynamically the most stable isomer followed by cis-HSPS(E2) and HP(S)S(C2v, E3) at 3.43 and 14.17 kj/mol, respectively. The computed results show that species E1, E2, E3, stereo HP(S)S(CS, E4) with PSS three-membered ring, isomers trans-HPSS(E5) and cis-HPSS(E6) which coexist with E4 are kinetic stable isomers. The products E6 and E5 in the reaction of HP with S2 can be isomerized into higher kinetic stable isomer E4 with 65.75 and 71.73 kj/mol reaction barrier height, respectively. The predicated results may correct the possible inaccurate conclusion in which the product was experimentally assigned as isomer cis-HPSS(E6).
