Abstract
Theoretical studies are carried out on the multi-channel reactions of SiH(CH3)3 with Cl (reaction 1, R1) and Br atoms (R2) by direct dynamics method. The minimum energy path is calculated at the MP2/6-31+G(d,p) level, and energetic information is further refined by the MC-QCISD (single-point) method. The rate constants for individual reaction channels, R1a, R1b-in, R1b-out, R1c, R1d, R2a, R2b-in, R2b-out, R2c, and R2d, are calculated by the improved canonical variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunneling correction over the temperature range 200-1,500 K. The theoretical three-parameter expressions k1(T) = 6.30 × 10-15T1.36exp(704.94/T) and k2(T) = 9.41 × 10-26T4.89exp(-1,033.80/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1 are given. Our calculations indicate that reaction channels R1c and R2c are the major channel.
