The CH + CH4 reaction has been studied by means of ab initio molecular orbital calculations incorporating electron correlation with Møller–Plesset perturbation theory up to second and fourth orders with the 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311++G(2d,p) basis sets. An energetically feasible insertion reaction path has been found in the potential energy surface that confirms the experimental proposal for the mechanism of the CH + CH4 reaction. The feature of the mechanism for the CH + CH4 insertion reaction is found to be different from the feature of the mechanisms for the CH + NH3, CH + H2O, and CH + HF insertion reactions, but somewhat similar to that for the CH2 + CH4 insertion reaction. Energetic results for the CH + CH4 reactions are in agreement with experiment. Keywords: CH radical, methane, reaction mechanism.

This study aims to apply a semi-classical approach using some analytically solvable potential functions to accurately compute the first ten pure vibrational energies of molecular hydrogen (H2) and its isotopes in their ground electronic states. This study also aims at comparing the accuracy of the potential functions within the framework of the semi-classical approximation. The performance of the approximation was investigated as a function of the molecular mass. In this approximation, the nuclei were assumed to move in a classical potential. The Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule was then applied to calculate the vibrational energies of the molecules numerically. The results indicated that the first vibrational transition frequencies (v1ß0) of all hydrogen isotopes were consistent with the experimental ones, with a minimum percentage error of 0.02% for ditritium (T2) molecule using the Modified-Rosen-Morse potential. It was also demonstrated that, in general, the Rosen-Morse and the Modified-Rosen-Morse potential functions were better in terms of calculating the vibrational energies of the molecules than Morse potential. Interestingly, the Morse potential was found to be better than the Manning-Rosen potential. Finally, the semi-classical approximation was found to perform better for heavier isotopes for all potentials applied in this study.
