Abstract
The influence of a single water molecule on the BrO + HO2 hydrogen extraction reaction has been explored by taking advantage of CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/6-311 + + G(d,p) method. The reaction in the absence of water have two distinct kinds of H-extraction channels to generate HOBr + O2 (1Δg) and HBr + O3, and the channel of generation of HOBr + O2 (1Δg) dominated the BrO + HO2 reaction. The rate coefficient of the most feasible channel for the BrO + HO2 reaction in the absence of water is estimated to be 1.44 × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298.15 K, which is consistent with the experiment. The introduction of water made the reaction more complex, but the products are unchanged. Four distinct channels, beginning with HO2…H2O with BrO, H2O…HO2 with BrO, BrO…H2O with HO2, H2O…BrO with HO2 are researched. The most feasible channels, stemming from H2O…HO2 with BrO, and BrO…H2O with HO2, are much slower than the reaction of BrO + HO2 without water, respectively. Thus, the existence of water molecule takes a negative catalytic role for BrO + HO2 reaction.

Abstract
We reply to the comment on our recent paper entitled "Impact of water on the BrO + HO2 gas-phase reaction: mechanism, kinetics and products" by Chow et al. In their comment, the authors raised the differences between our results and their results in an earlier paper (R. Chow, D. K. W. Mok, E. P. F. Lee and J. M. Dyke, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18, 30554-30569), in terms of kinetics and potential energy surface, and they attributed these differences to the use of a small integration grid size and closed-shell wavefunctions for geometry optimizations in our study. Indeed, in our original manuscript, we did not ensure the proper use of UHF wavefunctions for singlet states, which led the singlet states to be treated with restricted M06-2X wavefunctions during optimizations. Furthermore, the default integration grid was used. New geometry optimizations have been performed where reactant complexes on the singlet surface were treated in their open-shell singlet states (ensured by using unrestricted-spin wave-functions) and using very tight convergence criteria, and new reaction rate constants have been calculated based on new energy barriers. No barrierless hydrogen abstraction reactions were observed as reported in our previous results and, consequently, the outer rate coefficient in the two-transition state approach (given by eqn (5) in Tsona et al., 2019) was determined by the collision theory. Overall rate constants exhibit a negative temperature dependency in the 200-400 K range. Despite the changes on the reaction energies and kinetics due to wrong UHF wavefunctions, our main conclusion that water has no net effect on the BrO + HO2 → BrOH + O2 reaction is still valid.

Abstract
The reaction, BrO + HO2 → HOBr + O2, is exothermic and can produce O2 in both its ground state (X[combining tilde]3∑g-) and its first excited state (ã1Δg). As a result, this reaction can proceed on both a singlet and a triplet potential energy surface. Recently, Tsona, Tang and Du published a paper entitled "Impact of water on the BrO + HO2 gas-phase reaction: mechanism, kinetics and products (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2019, 21, 20296-203072). The results of this work showed significant differences from those published earlier on this reaction by Chow et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2016, 18, 30554-30569). Further calculations performed in this present work, combined with higher level calculations published by Chow et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2016, 18, 30554-30569), demonstrate that the work of Tsona et al. is flawed because the integration grid size used in their lowest singlet and triplet calculations is too small, and a closed-shell wavefunction, rather than an open-shell wavefunction, has been used for the singlet surface. The major conclusion in the work of Tsona et al. that the lowest singlet and triplet channels are barrierless is shown to be incorrect. Also, the computed rate coefficients of Tsona et al. showed a positive temperature dependence, which is inconsistent with the experimentally observed negative temperature dependence, whereas the singlet rate coefficients computed by Chow et al. (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2016, 18, 30554-30569) showed a negative temperature dependence consistent with experiment.

Abstract
The effect of a single water molecule on the reaction of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) with BrO reaction has been investigated using quantum chemical calculations at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G**//BH&HLYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Two reaction mechanisms have been considered both in the absence and the presence of water, namely, oxygen atom transfer and hydrogen abstraction, among which the oxygen atom transfer was predominant. Five reaction channels were found in the absence of water, in which the channels starting from the cis-configuration of the pre-reaction complexes were more favorable because of the low energy barrier. The inclusion of water slightly decreased the energy barrier height of most oxygen atom transfer channels, while making the hydrogen abstraction channels more complex. While the effective rate coefficients for the oxygen atom transfer paths are found to have decreased by 3-7 orders of magnitude in the presence of water relative to the water-free reactions, the negligible fraction of reactants that are effectively clustered with water does not significantly change the overall rate of the formation of dimethyl sulfoxide and Br. The present results show that the overall mechanism and rate of the DMS + BrO reaction may not be affected by humidity under atmospheric conditions.

Abstract
The reaction between CO and HO2 plays a significant role in syngas combustion. In this work, the catalytic effect of single-molecule water on this reaction is theoretically investigated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV(D,T,Q)Z and CCSD(T)-F12a/jun-cc-pVTZ levels in combination with the M062X/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Firstly, the potential energy surface (PES) of CO + HO2 (water-free) is revisited. The major products CO2 + OH are formed via a cis- or a trans-transition state (TS) channel and the formation of HCO + O2 is minor. In the presence of water, the title reaction has three different pre-reactive complexes (i.e., RC2: COHO2 + H2O, RC3: COH2O + HO2, and RC4: HO2H2O + CO), depending on the initial hydrogen bond formation. Compared to the water-free process, the reaction barriers of the water-assisted process are reduced considerably, due to more stable cyclic TSs and complexes. The rate constants for the bimolecular reaction pathways CO + HO2, RC2, RC3, and RC4 are further calculated using conventional transition state theory (TST) with Eckart asymmetric tunneling correction. For reaction CO + HO2, our calculations are in good agreement with the literature. In addition, the effective rate constants for the water-assisted process decrease by 1-2 orders of magnitude compared to the water-free one at a temperature below 600 K. In particular, the effective rate constants for the water-assisted and water-free processes are 1.55 × 10-28 and 3.86 × 10-26 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 300 K, respectively. This implies that the contribution of a single molecule water-assisted process is small and cannot accelerate the title reaction.
