Abstract:

The optimized geometries and frequencies of all the stationary points involved in each reaction channel of the CF3CH2CH3+OH reaction were calculated at the BB1K/6-31+G(d,p) level, and the potential energy profile is further refined by single-point energy calculations at the BMC-CCSD, MC-QCISD and G3(MP2) levels. The rate constants of all channels were evaluated by variational transition state theory(VTST) at the BMC-CCSD//BB1K, MC-QCISD//BB1K, G3(MP2)//BB1K and BB1K levels over a wide temperature range of 200—1000 K, and the contribution of H-abstraction from the —CH2 and —CH3 groups to the total reaction was discussed. The present calculations show that the rate constants evaluated at the BMC-CCSD//BB1K level are in excellent agreement with the available experimental values in the measured tempe-rature range. Finally, the three-parameter rate-temperature expression of the total reaction over the whole temperature range 200—1000 K was given as k=1.90×10-21T3.21exp(-292.62/T).
