- Abstract
Quasi-classical trajectory calculations and stochastic one-dimensional chemical master equation simulation methods are used to study the dynamics of the reaction of amidogen radical [NH(B)] with hydroperoxyl radical [HO(A″)] on the lowest singlet electronic state. The title complex reaction takes place on a multi-well multichannel potential energy surface consisting of three deep potential wells and one van der Waals complex. In quasi-classical trajectory calculations a new analytical potential energy surface based on CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//MPW1K/6-31+G(d,p) ab initio method was driven and used to study the dynamics of the title reaction. In quasi-classical trajectory calculations, the reactive cross sections and reaction probabilities are determined for 200-2000 K relative translational energies to calculate the rate constants. The same ab initio method was used to have the necessary data for solving the one-dimensional chemical master equation to calculate the rate constants of different channels. In solving the master equation, the Lennard-Jones potential model was used to form the collision between the collider gases. The fractional populations of different intermediates and products in the early stages of the reaction were examined to determine the role of the energized intermediates and the van der Waals complex on the dynamics of the title reaction. Although the calculated total rate constants from both methods are in good agreement with the reported experimental values in the literature, the quasi-classical trajectory simulation predicts the formation of NHO + OH as the major channel in the title reaction in accordance with the previous studies (Sumathi and Peyerimhoff, Chem. Phys. Lett., 263:742-748, 1996), while the stochastic master equation simulation predicts the formation of HNO + HO as the major products.
