Abstract
The reaction singlet potential energy curves of reactions Ni(d9 s1 3D) + CH2(3B1) → H2 + NiC and Ni(d9 s1 3D) + CH 2 (3B1) → trans-HNiCH, and the electronic and geometric structures and vibrational frequencies of all intermediates and transition states in the reactions above have been studied at B3LYP/6-311 + G(2d,2p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) levels. The former reaction is predicted to be endothermic by about 32.9 kJ mol-1, and the latter exothermic by about 65.9 kJ mol-1. At low energy levels, the formation of trans-HNiCH would be the dominant process, while at high energy levels, the formation of H2 + NiC would be the dominant process. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.
