Abstract: Proton transfer processes of the system NH4++NH3→NH3+NH4+, NH4++NH2CH3→NH3+NH3CH3+, NH4++NH(CH3)2→NH3+NH2(CH3)2+and NH3CH3++NH2CH3→NH2CH3+NH3CH3+have been studied by ab initio SCF method at RHF/6-31G*level. The results show that: (1) there are two potential wells on each potential surface of these four systems and the proton transfers directly along the line between the two nitrogen atoms; (2) the methyl substitutent in the molecule which accepts proton promotes the proton transfer and that in the molecule which donates proton hinders the proton transfer.
