Abstract: G3(MP2) theory is used to study the F+CH2COreaction. The calculations reveal a typical addition elimination mechanism for the title reaction. The reaction starts with Fand (CH2CO) reacting with each other to form the activated intermediate (CH2FCO)*. This association reaction is found to be a barrierless process. CH2FCO* can undergo further decomposition and isomerization reactions leading to various possible products. COand CH2Fare found to be the dominant products. RRKM-TST method is used to calculate the total and individual rate constants. The total rate constant shows a weak temperature dependence and a pressure independence.
