Abstract

An analytic function for the ground electronic state CH4 ⇄ ·CH3 + •H potential energy surface is proposed. This model makes use of a switching-function formalism and is based on both spectroscopic data and ab initio calculations at the MP4/6-31G** level. The proposed general symmetric analytic potential is suitable for use in quasiclassical trajectory studies of the CH4 ⇄ ·CH3 + •H reaction.
