Abstract

The potential energy surface (PES) of HAsS2 system including nine isomers and ten transition states is inverstigated at MP2/6-311++G(d, p) and QCISD(T)/6-311++G(3df, 2p) (single-point) levels. On the PES, cis-HSAsS(E1) is found to be thermodynamically and kinetically the most stable isomer followed by trans-HSAsS(E2), stereo As-S-S three-membered ring HAs(S)S(C2v, E3), and HAs (S)S(Cs, E4) at 1.46, 60.78, and 93.63 kJ/mol, respectively. Based on the PES, E1, E2, E3 and E4 are kinetically stable isomers, and should be experimentally observable. The products in the first-step reaction of HAs with S2 can isomerize into isomer E3 that has higher kinetic stability. The direct reaction products of SH with AsS will lead to the formation of isomer El. The comparison of the calculated results with the PESs of HPO2, HPS2, HNO2, HNS2 and HAsO2 that are analogs of HAsS2 is investigated.
