Abstract

The mechanism and rate constants of the dimerization of HNCO were investigated using the ab initio method and the statistical method. It was found that there are possibly two reaction channels: {A figure is presented}{A figure is presented} The 6-31G(*)//MP2 calculated barriers show that reaction (2) is more favorable than reaction (1). The calculated rate constants indicate that reaction (2) is faster than reaction (1) by about two orders of magnitude over the temperature range 800K-1700K. The rate constant for reaction (1) is in good agreement with the experimental results.
