Abstract: The singlet potential energy surface for the reaction of HCCO radical with molecule NO2 is worked out at the CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,p)//MP2/ 6-311G(d,p)+ZPE level of the theory. The possible reaction mechanism includes three reaction steps: (1) the O atom of the molecule NO2 attacks the C atom of the radical HCCO to form the adduct isomers 1 or 2; (2) the isomers 1 and 2 decompose into the products NO and OC(H)CO via the NO bond break; (3) the product OC(H)CO changes to the products HCO and CO via the CC bond break. Thus, the reaction HCCO+NO2 may produce the products NO, HCO and CO.
