1
Barrierless bimolecular reaction: reaction path and branching ratio
2
Fundamentally challenged :
barrierless reaction with multiple collision complexes: reaction rate of forming each collision complex? e.g. What would we like to achieve ? with a rigorous theoretical investigation based on first principle, to provide a prediction for future experimental findings, to obtain reaction paths, rate constants, branching ratio, product yields How ? What is our edge ?
3
Strategy Ab initio calculations on triplet C4HN and C4H3N
ground state surface Reaction paths for each collision complex Capturing cross-sections (σcap's) of forming all collision complexes Unimolecular rate constants Most probable paths (reaction mechanism) Solve rate equations Product yields
4
Theoretical methods Ab initio electronic structure calculation for reaction paths B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) optimized geometry, harmonic frequencies CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p) energy RRKM and variational RRKM rate constant -- For reaction , where A*: energized reactant : transition state P : product RRKM rate constant: where : symmetry factor : number of state of : density of state of A* -- For barrierless reactions, ie. simple bond breaking reaction : C3H3CN C + C2H3CN variational RRKM, the geometry where is the transition state
5
methods Capturing cross-section σcap ------ Langevin model
-- For long-range intermolecular potential of a bimolecular reaction, A+B P : , where R : distance between centers of mass of two reactants: A-B R Langevin model -- now there are 5 or 6 collision complexes: Solve rate equations product yields

--HCCCN, C2H3CN, prototypes, detected in cold molecular clouds:
Why C(3P) + HCCCN, C2H3CN ? --HCCCN, C2H3CN, prototypes, detected in cold molecular clouds: HCCCN (cyanoacetylene), simplest member in cyanopolyynes family C2H3CN (vinyl cyanide), simplest alkene nitrile --C(3P), everywhere in interstellar clouds --potentially important routes to complex carbon-nitrogen bearing species What do we know ? -- mechanism: fast, barrierless C addition to πsystems multiple collision complexes isomerizations, dissociations -- details not known
