Ab Initio Study on the Reaction of La⁺+CH₄→La⁺-CH₂+H₂

Department of Chemistry Yunnan University Kunming 650091

Received Date: 8 March 1996

Ab initio study on the reaction of the ground state(a³F)and excited state(a¹D)of La⁺ with methane has been performed.Reaction channel on the singlet and triplet potential energy surface(PES)has been examined and the reaction mechanism are discussed.Comparisons between singlet and triplet PESs show that the excited state(a¹D)of La⁺ is more reactive than its ground state(a³F)due to the spin quantum number conservation with the more stable insertion intermediate for excited state(¹D),which is in good agreement with the experiment.
