- We present a new reaction path without significant barriers for the C + NO reaction, forming ground state N((4)S) and CO. Electronic structure (CASPT2) calculations have been performed for the two lowest (4)A'' states of the CNO system. The lowest of these states shows no significant barriers against reaction in the C + NO or O + CN channels. This surface has been fitted to an analytical function using a many-body expansion. Using this surface, and the previously published (2)A' and (2)A'' surfaces [Andersson et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2000, 2, 613; Andersson et al., Chem. Phys., 2000, 259, 99], we have performed quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) calculations, obtaining rate coefficients for the C((3)P) + NO(X(2)Pi) --> CO(X(1)Sigma(+)) + N((4)S,(2)D) and C((3)P) + NO(X(2)Pi) --> O((3)P) + CN(X(2)Sigma(+)) reactions. We have also simulated the crossed molecular beam experiments of Naulin et al. [Chem. Phys., 1991, 153, 519] The inclusion of the (4)A'' surface in the QCT calculations gives excellent agreement with experiments. This is the first time an adiabatic pathway from C((3)P) + NO(X(2)Pi) to CO(X(1)Sigma(+))+N((4)S) has been reported.

- Electronic structure (CASPT2) calculations have been performed for the (2)Pi and (4)Sigma(-) states of the NCO system. To create the potential energy surfaces, the generalized discrete variable representation (GDVR) method has been used. Wave packet calculations have been performed for the collinear O + CN reaction on both surfaces. These are the first reported quantum dynamics calculations on this reaction. State-to-state reaction probabilities are presented. On the (2)Pi surface, which has an almost 6 eV deep well, we obtain structure in the reaction probabilities at low kinetic energies but at higher energies they are smooth. The (4)Sigma(-) surface is highly exoergic and vibrationally non-adiabatic dynamics is observed. The (4)Sigma(-) surface has an early barrier and as a result we find that translational energy more efficiently promotes the reaction than vibrational energy does. The wave packet results are compared with QCT results. Generally the agreement is good as would be expected but some notable differences are found, particularly for reaction out of the vibrational ground state. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

- Spin−orbit coupling between the two collinear 2Π and 4Σ− potential energy surfaces for the NCO system are calculated using the RASSI method with CASSCF wave functions as basis set. The GDVR method has been used to interpolate a spin−orbit coupling surface. Wave packet and quasi-classical trajectory surface hopping calculations have been performed and compared for both the O(3P) + CN(X2Σ+) → N(4S) + CO(X1Σ+) reaction and for electronically inelastic scattering in the N + CO channels. The O + CN nonadiabatic reaction probabilities are small. The wavepacket study gives a resonance structure. Also for the N + CO electronically inelastic scattering the wave packet calculations give a distinct resonance structure with peak transition probabilities up to around 10%, which is somewhat lower than the trajectory surface hopping results.

- Thermal rate constants are calculated for the H + CH(4) --> CH(3) + H(2) reaction employing the potential energy surface of Espinosa-Garcia (Espinosa-Garcia, J. J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 116, 10664). Two theoretical approaches are used. First, we employ the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method combined with flux correlation functions. In this way rate constants in the range 225-400 K are obtained and compared with previous results using the same theoretical method but the potential energy surface of Wu et al. (Wu, T.; Werner, H.-J.; Manthe, U. Science 2004, 306, 2227). It is found that the Espinosa-Garcia surface results in larger rate constants. Second, a harmonic quantum transition state theory (HQTST) implementation of instanton theory is used to obtain rate constants in a temperature interval from 20 K up to the crossover temperature at 296 K. The HQTST estimates are larger than MCTDH ones by a factor of about three in the common temperature range. Comparison is also made with various tunneling corrections to transition state theory and quantum instanton theory.
