Abstract
Theoretical investigations are carried out on the title reaction by means of ab-initio and DFT methods. The optimized geometries, frequencies and minimum energy path are obtained at UB3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. Single point energy calculations are performed at MP2 and MP4 levels of theory. Energetics are further refined by calculating the energy of the species with a modified Gaussian-2 method, G2M(CC,MP2). The rate constant of the reaction is calculated using Canonical Transition State Theory (CTST) utilizing the ab-initio data obtained during the present study and is found to be 5.47 × 10‒12 cm3 molecule‒1s‒1 at 298 K and 1 atm.
