REACTIVE RESONANCE AND FORMATION MECHANISM STUDIES OF THE H + NO → N + OH OR O + NH REACTION

Abstract

The partial potential energy surface (PPES) of H + NO → N + OH or O + NH of 3A″ symmetry is first constructed using QCISD (T) method with 6-311++g** basis set, and then we speculate the existence of the scattering resonance states of these reactions. Finally, we estimate that the lifetime of scattering resonance state is about 1.5 ps, which is in agreement with Schatz's conclusion (~1.2 ps ). The scattering resonance states of the two reactions belong to the Feshbach type. The results are consistent with the probabilities calculations reported in the literatures.
