Abstract
Based on the recently constructed neural-network potential energy surface [Chen et al., J. Chem. Phys. 138, 221104 (2013)], ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) calculations are performed to compute rate coefficients of the barrierless OH + CO system at T ≤ 500 K. To recover the barrierless feature, a Lindemann-Hinshelwood-type mechanism and hence a reduced rate coefficient are used to approximate the overall rate coefficient. An agreement between RPMD and experimental rate coefficients can be found. These RPMD results reproduce correctly the temperature-independence of the overall rate coefficient. Finally, potential sources of errors in the present RPMD calculations are discussed.
