Abstract

The QCISD(T)/6-311G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) calculations are performed on the mechanism of the radical reaction C2H3. +OH.. Eight products, P1-P8, may be obtained via the complex reaction channels, i. e. association, multi-step H-shift, CH3-shift, dissociation, and so on. According to our calculated results, we predict that producers P2 and P6 may be the main products. In this paper, the energy ordering of the transition states TS1/2, TS1′/3 and TS2/3, which connect the C2H4O isomers CH2CHOH(1 or 1′), CH3CHO(2)and CH3COH(3), is TS2/3>TS1′/3>TS1/2, and it is the reverse of the ordering proposed by Wesdemiotis and McLafferty, but in good agreement with Smith et al. 's calculated result.
