Abstract

The geometries of the reactants, the transition states(TS) and the products for the reaction HCO + HNO2→ HCHO + NO2 have been optimized by using the energy gradient approach at UHF/6-31G level, and the energies were corrected at the MF2/6-31G level. The calculated barrier(48.15KJ-mol-1) for the reaction is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data(28,84±2.51KJ·mol-1). The Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) for the reaction is traced by using Morokuma's magnitude method. The variations of the geometries and the potentials for the reaction system are elucidated.along the IRC.
