Abstract
The reaction of OH with NO 2 has been studied by high level ab initio molecular orbital and statistical theory calculations. The potential energy surface for the association leading to the formation of HNO 3 by collisional deactivation and the formation of endothermic products, HO 2 and NO via the HOONO intermediate have been computed with a modified Gaussian 2 (G2M) method. The rate constants for these two channels have been calculated by means of the canonical variational RRKM approach. The predicted values correlate reasonably well with experimental data for both the forward and reverse processes.
