Abstract: The ab initio direct dynamics method at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level is employed to studythe HO2ion reaction CH4+ HO2- CH3+ H2O2on a wide temperature range 300-2000 K.The barrier heights obtained for the forward CH4+ HO2- CH3+ H2O2and reverse reactions CH3+H2O2- CH4-HO2are 11. 83 and 102. 90 kJ/mol, respectively. Comparing with one recent experiment. The ratio of kcvt/sct/kexptis within the range 1. 08-2. 85. We can expect that the predicted values at the high temperature are reliable.
