The mechanism for the reaction of radical FOO with NO was investigated theoretically. The electronic structure information for the singlet potential energy surfaces (PES) was obtained at the MP2/6-311+G(2df) level of theory, and the single-point energies were refined by the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df) level. The rate constants as well as the pressure and temperature dependence of various product channels for the reaction are predicted. The calculated results show that starting from the energy-rich intermediateFOONOtp(IM1), at room temperature 298 K and at 1 Torr, FNO is the exclusive product which is consistent with the experimental results. The present results will be useful to gain a deep insight into the reaction mechanism of FOO + NO reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
