The rate constants of two alternative reactions, i.e CH4 + O2 → CH2 + H2O2 and CH4 + O2 → CH3 + HOO have been studied by the ab initio and MINDO/3 methods. A preliminary appreciation of the used methods has been done with a selected set of carbene reactions. The characteristics of minima as well as the saddle points on the corresponding reaction paths of both reactions have been found. The discussion of the relative probability of a pathway of the above-mentioned reactions is based on the rate constants determined by the use of transition state theory.

The dissociation reactions giving rise to the H atoms from methylcarbene and ethyl radical have been studied on the ab initio and MINDO/3 methodical level. On the basis of the transition state theory, the temperature dependence of rate constant has been calculated by using the harmonic oscillator-rigid rotor approximation. The results which indicate equal rate of the course of both reactions are compared with available experimental data.

The hydrogen-transfer reaction of HCO + HNO2 → HCHO + NO2 has been studied using both the density function theory (DFT) and high-level ab initio method. Three complete reaction paths have been located for the transfer reaction. Geometry optimization and frequency calculation have been performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level. QCISD(T) and G3B3 methods have been used to verify the single-point energy. On the basis of the ab initio data, the rate constants have been deduced over a temperature range of 300–3000 K using the transition-state theory and canonical variational transition-state theory with small-curvature tunneling effect. The calculated rate constants have been compared with the previous reported values.Key words: density function theory, reaction mechanism, variational transition-state theory, rate constant.

Rate constants for the reactions OH + HO2 → H2O + O2(3Σg−)/O2(1Δg) have been calculated. The branching ratio to O2(1Δg) is small, and thus particular initial conditions are needed for O2(1Δg) to play a role in combustion.

Results of the best reported ab initio calculations are used to evaluate the rate constants of the title processes by means of the transition state theory. The computed rate constants are corrected for the quantum mechanical tunnelling by the Eckart's one-dimensional approach and comparison is made with experimental rate data
