Communication: a chemically accurate global potential energy surface for the HO + CO → H + CO2 reaction

J Chem Phys. 2012 Jan 28;136(4):041103. doi: 10.1063/1.3680256.

Abstract

We report a chemically accurate global potential energy surface for the HOCO system based on high-level ab initio calculations at ~35,000 points. The potential energy surface is shown to reproduce important stationary points and minimum energy paths. Quasi-classical trajectory calculations indicated a good agreement with experimental data.
