Two Lower-barrier Channels in the Reaction of HF with HOBO

摘要

Two possible lower barrier reaction pathways in the reaction HF+HOBOH2O+FBO are predicated by means of MP2 and CCSD(T) (single-point) methods. In the two channels, two stable intermediates are located, and thus, they are multi-step channels, which are more favorable in energy than direct single-step reaction pathway predicated by previous theoretical study. Therefore, the two pathways should be main reaction channels in experiments.
