Abstract: The reaction mechanism between OBrO and NO was studied by using the B3LYP/6-311+G**and the high-level electron-correlation CCSD(T)/6-311+G**single-point levels. The geometries of reac-tants, transition states, intermediates and products were optimized and verified by frequency analysis. The results show that the reaction is multi-channel and multi-step exothermic. It may proceed on singlet and triplet potential energy surface(PES). OBrO and NO may react via addition or addition-elimination mechanism to form the products BrONO2and BrO+NO2.In view of energy, the channel of forming the products BrO+NO2is more favorable.
