Abstract: The detail singlet potential energy surface of the HCONO2system iSInvestigated at the B3LYPand CCSD(T)(single-point) levels with 6-311G(d,p) basis set to study the possible reaction mechanism of HCOwith NO2From the reactant R(HCO+NO2), two associated adducts HC(O)NO2and H(O)CONO can be formed barrierlessly.Possible energetically allowed reaction pathways leading to seven low-lying dissociation products.The formation of HONO+CO(P2,P3), HNO+CO2(P1) and H+CO2+NO(P6) are more favorable than other products on the consideration of kinetic and thermodynamic factors.The calculated results presented in this paper agree with the previous experiment investigations and may be helpful for understanding this chemical behavior of formyl radical.
