Abstract

Mechanism of the reaction between Criegee compound (CH2OO) and Propargyl radical (C3H3) has been studied by using the density functional theory DFT/M06-2X in conjunction with the 6-311++G(3df,2p) basis set for both optimization and single-point energy calculations. The calculated results indicate that mechanism of the C3H3 + CH2OO reaction can occur in two different directions: H-atom abstraction and/or addition. As a result, 11 various products have been created from this reaction; in which, P10 (OCHCHCHCHO + H) is the most thermodynamically stable product and the reaction path leading to the P7 (CH2-[cyc-CCHCHOO] + H) product is the most energetically and kinetically favorable channel.
