On the Unimolecular Reactions of CH3O and CH2OH

Abstract

Recent experiments suggest that the isomerization reaction CH3O reversible reaction CH2OH may compete with the hydrogen dissociation reaction CH3O yields CH2O + H. We report correlated many-body calculations of barrier heights for these reactions and other decompositions of CH3O and CH2OH. The barriers for isomerization and dissociation are similar, while the reaction CH3O yields CHO + H2 has a higher energy barrier.
