Abstract

Theoretical investigations are carried out on the title reactions by means of the direct dynamics method. The optimized geometries, frequencies and minimum energy path are obtained at the MP2/6-31 + G(d,p) level, and energetic information is further refined at the MC-QCISD (single-point) level. The rate constants for both reactions are calculated by the improved canonical variational transition state theory with the small-curvature tunneling correction in a wide temperature range 200-3,000 K. The theoretical rate constant is in good agreement with the available experimental data. Furthermore, the effects of different halogen substitution on the rate constants are also discussed.
