Abstract
High level ab initio calculations were carried out to study the mechanism of the ion-molecule reaction CH4+O2+(2Πg). Four reaction channels were considered: insertion of O2+ (INS), hydride abstraction (HA), charge transfer (CT), and O-O cleave channel (OO). Results qualitatively explain most of the experimental facts about the reaction mechanism, kinetics, and dynamics of the reaction.
