Abstract
The ethynyl radical, C2H, is found in a variety of different environments ranging from interstellar space and planetary atmospheres to playing an important role in the combustion of various alkynes under fuel-rich conditions. Hydrogen-atom abstraction reactions are common for the ethynyl radical in these contrasting environments. In this study, the C2H + HX → C2H2 + X, where HX = HNCO, trans-HONO, cis-HONO, C2H4, and CH3OH, reactions have been investigated at rigorously high levels of theory, including CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVTZ-F12. For the stationary points thus located, much higher levels of theory have been used, with basis sets as large as aug-cc-pV5Z and methods up to CCSDT(Q), and core correlation was also included. These molecules were chosen because they can be found in either interstellar or combustion environments. Various additive energy corrections have been included to converge the relative enthalpies of the stationary points to subchemical accuracy (≤0.5 kcal mol-1). Barriers predicted here (2.19 kcal mol-1 for the HNCO reaction and 0.47 kcal mol-1 for C2H4) are significantly lower than previous predictions. Reliable kinetics were acquired over a wide range of temperatures (50-5000 K), which may be useful for future experimental studies of these reactions.

Abstract
Amino–imino and keto–enol tautomerization processes in three-membered ring systems have been explored to examine the role of quantum mechanical tunneling along with aromaticity. The DFT calculations shed light on the role of aromaticity in tautomerization processes and as perceived this property may not contribute entirely to facilitate the formation of tautomeric forms.

Abstract
The chemical processes that lead to polystyrene surface modification via low energy deposition of C(2)H(+), C(2)F(+), CH(2), CH(2)(+), and H(+) radicals and ions are examined using first principles calculations. Specifically, the reaction mechanisms responsible for products identified in classical molecular dynamics with reactive empirical bond-order potentials are examined using density functional theory. In addition, these calculations consider how the presence of charges on the incident particles changes the result for the CH(2) system through the comparison of barriers, transition states, and final products for CH(2) and CH(2)(+). The structures of the reaction species and energy barriers are determined using the B3LYP hybrid functional. Finally, CCSD/6-31G(d,p) single point energy calculations are carried out to obtain optimized energy barriers. The results indicate that the large variety of reactions occurring on the polystyrene surface are a consequence of complex interactions between the substrate and the deposited particles, which can easily be identified and characterized using advanced computational methodologies, such as first principle calculations.

Abstract
Kinetics of the ethynyl (C(2)H) radical reactions with H(2), D(2), CH(4) and CD(4) was studied over the temperature range of 295-396 K by a pulsed laser photolysis/chemiluminescence technique. The C(2)H radicals were generated by ArF excimer-laser photolysis of C(2)H(2) or CF(3)C(2)H and were monitored by the chemiluminescence of CH(A(2)Δ) produced by their reaction with O(2) or O((3)P). The measured absolute rate constants for H(2) and CH(4) agreed well with the available literature data. The primary kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were determined to be k(H(2))/k(D(2)) = 2.48 ± 0.14 and k(CH(4))/k(CD(4)) = 2.45 ± 0.16 at room temperature. Both of the KIEs increased as the temperature was lowered. The KIEs were analyzed by using the variational transition state theory with semiclassical small-curvature tunneling corrections. With anharmonic corrections on the loose transitional vibrational modes of the transition states, the theoretical predictions satisfactorily reproduced the experimental KIEs for both C(2)H + H(2)(D(2)) and C(2)H + CH(4)(CD(4)) reactions.

Abstract
The crossed beams reaction of ground state ethynyl radicals, C(2)H(X(2)Sigma(+)), with allene, H(2)CCCH(2)(X(1)A(1)), was conducted under single collision conditions at a collision energy of 22.0 +/- 0.4 kJ mol(-1). The center-of-mass functions were combined with earlier ab initio calculations and revealed that the reaction was barrier-less, proceeded via indirect reaction dynamics through an addition of the ethynyl radical to the terminal carbon atom of the allene molecule, and was terminated by atomic hydrogen emission via a tight exit transition state to form the ethynylallene product. The overall reaction was found to be exoergic by 93 +/- 15 kJ mol(-1). Since the reaction is barrier-less, exoergic, and all transition states involved are located below the energy level of the separated reactants, the formation of ethynylallene is predicted to take place in low temperature atmospheres of planets and their satellites such as Titan and also in cold molecular clouds via the neutral-neutral reaction of ethynyl radicals with allene. Implications to interstellar chemistry and a comparison with the chemistry of the isoelectronic cyano radical, CN(X(2)Sigma(+)), are also presented.

Abstract
The reaction of the C2H radical with benzene is studied at low temperature using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus. The C2H radical is prepared by 193-nm photolysis of acetylene, and the C2H concentration is monitored using CH(A2Delta) chemiluminescence from the C2H + O2 reaction. Measurements at very low photolysis energy are performed using CF3C2H as the C2H precursor to study the influence of benzene photodissociation on the rate coefficient. Rate coefficients are obtained over a temperature range between 105 and 298 K. The average rate coefficient is found to be five times greater than the estimated value presently used in the photochemical modeling of Titan's atmosphere. The reaction exhibits a slight negative temperature dependence which can be fitted to the expression k(cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1)) = 3.28(+/-1.0) x 10(-10) (T/298)(-0.18(+/-0.18)). The results show that this reaction has no barrier and may play an important role in the formation of large molecules and aerosols at low temperature. Our results are consistent with the formation of a short lifetime intermediate that decomposes to give the final products.

Abstract
This article aims to illustrate the added value provided to experimental kinetics investigations by complementary theoretical kinetics studies, using as examples (i) reactions of two major hydrocarbon flame radicals, HCCO and C(2)H, and (ii) reactions of several oxygenated organic compounds with hydroxyl radicals of interest to atmospheric chemistry. The first part, on HCCO and C(2)H kinetics, does not attempt to give an extensive literature review, but rather addresses some major experimental techniques, mainly specific ones, that have allowed a great part of the available reactivity databases on these two species to be established. For several key reactions, it is shown how potential energy surfaces and statistical rate predictions based thereon have provided insight into the molecular mechanisms and have allowed estimates of product distributions as well as reliable extrapolations of experimental rate coefficients and branching ratios to higher temperatures. The second part addresses current issues in atmospheric chemistry relating mainly to hydroxyl radical reactions with oxygenated organics, and focuses on the experimental characterization of the often unusual temperature dependence of their rate coefficients and on the theoretical rationalization thereof, through the formation of hydrogen-bonded pre-reactive complexes and resulting tunnelling-enhanced H-abstraction. Finally, the development of general structure-activity relationships for OH reactions with organics, H-abstractions as well as OH-additions for unsaturated compounds, is briefly discussed.

Abstract
The title unknown reaction is theoretically studied at various levels to probe the interaction mechanism between the ethynyl radical (HC triple bond C) and formaldehyde (H(2)C double bond O). The most feasible pathway is a barrier-free direct H-abstraction process leading to acetylene and formyl radical (C(2)H(2)+HCO) via a weakly bound complex, and then the product can take secondary dissociation to the final product C(2)H(2)+CO+H. The C-addition channel leading to propynal plus H-atom (HCCCHO+H) has the barrier of only 3.6, 2.9, and 2.1 kcal/mol at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p)MP2//6-311G(d,p)+ZPVE, CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p)//QCISD/6-311G(d,p)+ZPVE, and G3//MP2 levels, respectively [CCSD(T)--coupled cluster with single, double, and triple excitations; ZPVE--zero-point vibrational energy; QCISD--quadratic configuration interaction with single and double excitations; G3//MP2-Gaussian-3 based on Moller-Plesset geometry]. The O addition also leading to propynal plus H atom needs to overcome a higher barrier of 5.3, 8.7, and 3.0 kcalmol at the three corresponding levels. The title no-barrier reaction presents a new efficient route to remove the pollutant H(2)CO, and should be included in the combustion models of hydrocarbons. It may also represent the fastest radical-H(2)CO reaction among the available theoretical data. Moreover, it could play an important role in the interstellar chemistry where the zero- or minute-barrier reactions are generally favored. Discussions are also made on the possible formation of the intriguing propynal in space via the title reaction on ice surface.

Abstract
The C(2)H + O((3)P) --> CH(A) + CO reaction is investigated using Fourier transform visible emission spectroscopy. The O((3)P) and C(2)H radicals are produced by simultaneous 193 nm photolysis of SO(2) and C(2)H(2) precursors, respectively. The nascent vibrational and rotational distributions of the CH(A) product are obtained under time-resolved, but quasi-steady-state, conditions facilitated by the short lifetime of the CH(A) emission. The vibrational temperature of the CH(A) product is found to be appreciably hotter (2800 +/- 100 K) than the rotational distributions in the v' = 0 (1400 +/- 100 K) and v' = 1 (1250 +/- 250 K) levels. The results suggest that the reaction may proceed through an electronically excited HCCO() intermediate; moreover, the vibrational excitation compared to rotational excitation is higher than expected based on a statistical distribution of energy and may be the result of geometrical changes in the transition state. The CH(A) emission is also observed in a C(2)H(2)/O/H reaction mixture using a microwave discharge apparatus to form O atoms, with subsequent H atom production. The nascent rotational and vibrational distributions of the CH(A) determined by the microwave discharge apparatus are very similar to the CH(A) distributions obtained in the photodissociation experiment. The results support the idea that the C(2)H + O((3)P) reaction may play a role in low-pressure C(2)H(2)/O/H flames, as previously concluded.

Abstract
The temperature dependence of the rate constant of the chemiluminescence reaction C2H + O2 --> CH(A) + CO2, k1e, has been experimentally determined over the temperature range 316-837 K using pulsed laser photolysis techniques. The rate constant was found to have a pronounced positive temperature dependence given by k1e(T) = AT(4.4) exp(1150 +/- 150/T), where A = 1 x 10(-27) cm(3) s(-1). The preexponential factor for k1e, A, which is known only to within an order of magnitude, is based on a revised expression for the rate constant for the C2H + O(3P) --> CH(A) + CO reaction, k2b, of (1.0 +/- 0.5) x 10(-11) exp(-230 K/T) cm3 s(-1) [Devriendt, K.; Van Look, H.; Ceursters, B.; Peeters, J. Chem. Phys. Lett. 1996, 261, 450] and a k2b/k1e determination of this work of 1200 +/- 500 at 295 K. Using the temperature dependence of the rate constant k1e(T)/k1e(300 K), which is much more accurately and precisely determined than is A, we predict an increase in k(1e) of a factor 60 +/- 16 between 300 and 1500 K. The ratio of rate constants k2b/k1e is predicted to change from 1200 +/- 500 at 295 K to 40 +/- 25 at 1500 K. These results suggest that the reaction C2H + O2 --> CH(A) + CO2 contributes significantly to CH(A-->X) chemiluminescence in hot flames and especially under fuel-lean conditions where it probably dominates the reaction C2H + O(3P) --> CH(A) + CO.

Abstract
The rate coefficient of the gas-phase reaction C(2)H + H(2)O-->products has been experimentally determined over the temperature range 500-825 K using a pulsed laser photolysis-chemiluminescence (PLP-CL) technique. Ethynyl radicals (C(2)H) were generated by pulsed 193 nm photolysis of C(2)H(2) in the presence of H(2)O vapor and buffer gas N(2) at 15 Torr. The relative concentration of C(2)H radicals was monitored as a function of time using a CH* chemiluminescence method. The rate constant determinations for C(2)H + H(2)O were k(1)(550 K) = (2.3 +/- 1.3) x 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1), k(1)(770 K) =(7.2 +/- 1.4) x 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1), and k(1)(825 K) = (7.7 +/- 1.5) x 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1). The error in the only other measurement of this rate constant is also discussed. We have also characterized the reaction theoretically using quantum chemical computations. The relevant portion of the potential energy surface of C(2)H(3)O in its doublet electronic ground state has been investigated using density functional theory B3LYP6-311 + + G(3df,2p) and molecular orbital computations at the unrestricted coupled-cluster level of theory that incorporates all single and double excitations plus perturbative corrections for the triple excitations, along with the 6-311 + + G(3df,2p) basis set [(U)CCSD(T)6-311 + + G(3df,2p)] and using UCCSD(T)6-31G(d,p) optimized geometries. Five isomers, six dissociation products, and sixteen transition structures were characterized. The results confirm that the hydrogen abstraction producing C(2)H(2)+OH is the most facile reaction channel. For this channel, refined computations using (U)CCSD(T)6-311 + + G(3df,2p)(U)CCSD(T)6-311 + + G(d,p) and complete-active-space second-order perturbation theory/complete-active-space self-consistent-field theory (CASPT2/CASSCF) [B. O. Roos, Adv. Chem. Phys. 69, 399 (1987)] using the contracted atomic natural orbitals basis set (ANO-L) [J. Almlof and P. R. Taylor, J. Chem. Phys.86, 4070 (1987)] were performed, yielding zero-point energy-corrected potential energy barriers of 17 kJ mol(-1) and 15 kJ mol(-1), respectively. Transition-state theory rate constant calculations, based on the UCCSD(T) and CASPT2/CASSCF computations that also include H-atom tunneling and a hindered internal rotation, are in perfect agreement with the experimental values. Considering both our experimental and theoretical determinations, the rate constant can best be expressed, in modified Arrhenius form as k(1)(T) = (2.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(-21)T(3.05) exp[-(376 +/- 100)T] cm(3) s(-1) for the range 300-2000 K. Thus, at temperatures above 1500 K, reaction of C(2)H with H(2)O is predicted to be one of the dominant C(2)H reactions in hydrocarbon combustion.

Abstract
Despite the importance of the C(3)H radical in both combustion and interstellar space, the reactions of C(3)H toward stable molecules have never been studied. In this paper, we report our detailed mechanistic study on the radical-molecule reaction C(3)H+H(2)O at the Becke's three parameter Lee-Yang-Parr-B3LYP6-311G(d,p) and coupled cluster with single, double, and triple excitations-CCSD(T)6-311G(2d,p) (single-point) levels. It is shown that the C(3)H+H(2)O reaction initially favors formation of the carbene-insertion intermediates HCCCHOH (1a,1b) rather than the direct H- or OH-abstraction process. Subsequently, the isomers (1a,1b) can undergo a direct H- extrusion to form the well-known product propynal HCCCHO (P(5)). Highly competitively, (1a,1b) can take the successive 1,4- and 1,2-H-shift interconversion to isomer H(2)CCCHO(2a,2b) and then to isomer H(2)CCHCO(3a,3b), which can finally take a direct C-C bond cleavage to give product C(2)H(3) and CO (P(1)). The other products are kinetically much less feasible. With the overall entrance barrier 10.6 kcal/mol, the title reaction can be important in postburning processes. Particularly, our calculations suggest that the title reaction may play a role in the formation of the intriguing interstellar molecule, propynal HCCCHO. The calculated results will also be useful for the analogous C(3)H reactions such as with ammonia and alkanes.

Abstract
We demonstrate detection, in the gas-phase, of O(1D2) at concentrations down to 10(7) cm(-3) and develop this new method for time-resolved kinetic studies allowing both the total removal rate of O(1D2), of up to 1.5 x 10(6) s(-1), and the fraction quenched to O(3P(J)) by species X, k(q)/k(X), to be determined precisely from a single time profile: at 295 K we find, k(O(1D2) + N2O) = (1.43 +/- 0.08) x 10(-10) cm3 s(-1) with k(q)/k(N2O) = 0.056 +/- 0.009; k(O(1D2) + C2H2) = (3.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(-10) cm3 s(-1) with k(q)/k(C2H2) = 0.020 +/- 0.010; k(q)/k(H2O) < 0.003 for O(1D2) + H2O.
