Abstract:DFT B3LYP calculations with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set were carried out to explore the mechanism of the NH (X3Σ-) + HCNO reaction. On the basis of calculated reaction paths, the three reaction channels are predicted to occur via the following reaction steps. The NH radical initially attacks C atom of the HCNO radical, leading to an intermediate HC(NH)NO (a1), followed by formation of a bond between the H atom of NH (X3Σ-) radical and the N atom of HCNO, leading to the formation of product HNO + HCN. In additio… Show more
