Abstract
We develop a full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface (PES) for the OH + C2H6 reaction using the Robosurfer program system, which automatically (1) selects geometries from quasi-classical trajectories, (2) performs ab initio computations using a CCSD(T)-F12/triple-zeta-quality composite method, (3) fits the energies utilizing the permutationally-invariant monomial symmetrization approach, and iteratively improves the PES via steps (1)−(3). Quasi-classical trajectory simulations on the new PES reveal that hydrogen abstraction leading to H2O + C2H5 dominates in the collision energy range of 10−50 kcal/mol. The abstraction cross sections increase and the dominant mechanism shifts from rebound (small impact parameters and backward scattering) to stripping (larger impact parameters and forward scattering) with increasing collision energy as opacity functions and scattering angle distributions indicate. The abstraction reaction clearly favors side-on OH attack over O-side and the least-preferred H-side approach, whereas C2H6 behaves like a spherical object with only slight C−C-perpendicular side-on preference. Collision energy efficiently flows into the relative translation of the products, whereas product internal energy distributions show only little collision energy dependence. H2O/C2H5 vibrational distributions slightly/significantly violate zero-point energy and are nearly independent of collision energy, whereas the rotational distributions clearly blue-shift as collision energy increases.

Abstract
An accurate full-dimensional quantum state-to-state simulation of the six-atom title reaction based on first-principles theory is reported. Counterintuitive effects are found: Increasing the energy in the reactant's CD3 umbrella vibration reduces the energy in the corresponding product vibration. An in-depth analysis reveals the crucial role of the effective dynamical transition state: Its geometry is controlled by the vibrational states of the reactants and subsequently controls the quantum state distribution of the products. This finding enables generalizing the concept of transition state control of chemical reactions to the quantum state-specific level.

Abstract
The title reactions were studied at a collisional energy of 10.0 kcal mol-1 in a crossed-beam, product-imaging experiment. In terms of integral cross sections, all three CH3-stretching excited CH3D(vCH3 = 1) reagents promote the reactivity in forming the predominant product pair of (vCH2D, vHCl)s = (00, 0/1)s with a prominent mode-propensity of v4 > v1-I > v1-II, where v4 denotes the degenerate mode of CH3 asymmetric stretch and v1-I and v1-II are a pair of Fermi-coupled, symmetric-stretch states. The vibrationally excited CH2D product pairs of (61, 0)s, (11, 0)s, and (31, 0)s appear to be minor channels and display a reverse propensity of v4 < v1-I ≈ v1-II for (61, 0)s, while v4 > v1-I for (11, 0)s. Based on the observed angular distributions, we conjecture that, irrespective of the initial mode of excitation, the (00, 0)s product pair proceeds by a direct abstraction of the peripheral type, whereas the (00,1)s pair is mediated via a resonance pathway. Intriguingly, the angular distributions of the excited product pairs-(61, 0)s, (11, 0)s, and (31, 0)s-are remarkably similar and comprise the traits of both the peripheral mechanism and resonance pathway. Possible interpretation and implication are suggested. In addition, due to the spectral overlap of the REMPI bands and heavily congested image features, a robust data analysis method is developed, which enables us to extract the dynamics attributes of a weak feature buried in the proximate, more intense ones with high fidelity.

Abstract
Moving beyond the six-atomic benchmark systems, we discuss the new age and future of first-principles reaction dynamics, which investigates complex, multichannel chemical reactions. We describe the methodology starting from the benchmark ab initio characterization of the stationary points, followed by full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) developments and reaction dynamics computations. We highlight our composite ab initio approach providing benchmark stationary-point properties with subchemical accuracy, the Robosurfer program system enabling automatic PES development, and applications for the Cl + C2H6, F + C2H6, and OH- + CH3I post-six-atom reactions focusing on ab initio issues and their solutions as well as showing the excellent agreement between theory and experiment.

Abstract
Starting from a model study of the collinear (H, H2) exchange reaction in 1959, the time-dependent quantum mechanical wave packet (TDQMWP) method has come a long way in dealing with systems as large as Cl + CH4. The fast Fourier transform method for evaluating the second order spatial derivative of the wave function and split-operator method or Chebyshev polynomial expansion for determining the time evolution of the wave function for the system have made the approach highly accurate from a practical point of view. The TDQMWP methodology has been able to predict state-to-state differential and integral reaction cross sections accurately, in agreement with available experimental results for three dimensional (H, H2) collisions, and identify reactive scattering resonances too. It has become a practical computational tool in predicting the observables for many A + BC exchange reactions in three dimensions and a number of larger systems. It is equally amenable to determining the bound and quasi-bound states for a variety of molecular systems. Just as it is able to deal with dissociative processes (without involving basis set expansion), it is able to deal with multi-mode nonadiabatic dynamics in multiple electronic states with equal ease. We present an overview of the method and its strength and limitations, citing examples largely from our own research groups.

Abstract
Scattering resonance is a fascinating phenomenon which manifests as a peak or a dip in an observable as a function of collisional energy (Ec). Its occurrence requires a potential well to support the resonance states. In this regard, reactive resonance is unusual in that it can exist in a reaction with unbound Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface, on which the quasi-bound states are dynamically trapped-meaning that some energy is temporarily tied to the other degrees of freedom than the reaction coordinate. The concept of vibrational adiabaticity has been the cornerstone in understanding this phenomenon, for which the vibrationally adiabatic well depth is of primary concern. Recent studies on the F + CH3D reaction have accumulated compelling evidence for a dominant resonance-mediated pathway at low Ec as well as for a rainbow feature in pair-correlated angular distribution at higher Ec. Here, we report an in-depth study to not only substantiate both claims but also, more importantly, make the first attempt to quantify the vibrationally adiabatic well depth directly from the observed rainbow structure and then compare with the theoretical prediction.

Abstract
We evaluated the accuracy of the J-shifting approximation to estimate reactant state-selected cross sections for the F+CH4 → HF+CH3 and F+CHD3 → HF+CD3/DF+CHD2 reactions. In particular, we analyzed how the rotational state of methane influences the quality of the approximation. The systems were considered in full dimensionality. Since full-quantum scattering calculations are still unfeasible for these reactions, we employed quasi-classical trajectories (QCT) to calculate the cross sections. The characteristics of the Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface of these reactions pose a great challenge to the assumptions of the J-shifting approach. In spite of this, we found that it performs well for both reactions if the methane molecule is in the rotational ground state. However, when methane is rotationally excited, the approach affords good results for the F+CH4 system but clearly fails for F+CHD3. The reasons for this failure will be discussed, and a simple procedure to recover good estimators for the cross sections from J = 0 calculations will be introduced.

Abstract
Mode specificity is a main characteristic of transition state control of reaction dynamics. The normal mode representation has been widely employed to describe the mode specificity in elementary chemical reactions. However, spectroscopists have demonstrated that the local mode representation has advantages in analyzing the overtone and combination band spectra. In this work, the mode-specific reaction dynamics between the hydrogen atom and the molecules H2S and H2O is studied using a full-dimensional quantum scattering model in the (2 + 1) Radau-Jacobi coordinates. The mode specificities in the reactions that violates our physical intuition in the normal mode representation are well rationalized in the local mode representation. The energy flow between different XH bonds resulting from the intramolecular interaction and/or intermolecular interaction is unveiled, together with its impacts on dynamics of the abstraction and exchange reactions.

Abstract
We describe a novel theoretical approach to the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions that is based on analytical potential energy surfaces (PESs) obtained by fitting a few tens of thousands high-level ab initio energy points. These PESs allow computing millions of quasi-classical trajectories thereby providing unprecedented statistical accuracy for SN2 reactions, as well as performing high-dimensional quantum dynamics computations. We developed full-dimensional ab initio PESs for the F- + CH3Y [Y = F, Cl, I] systems, which describe the direct and indirect, complex-forming Walden-inversion, the frontside attack, and the new double-inversion pathways as well as the proton-transfer channels. Reaction dynamics simulations on the new PESs revealed (a) a novel double-inversion SN2 mechanism, (b) frontside complex formation,

Abstract
The potential energy surface (PES) for the H + CH4 system has been constructed with the recently developed XYG3 doubly hybrid functional, while those with the standard B3LYP hybrid functional, and the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory up to the second order (MP2) are also presented for comparison. Quantum dynamics studies demonstrated that satisfactory results on the reaction probabilities and the rate coefficients can be obtained on top of the XYG3-PES, as compared to the results based on the highly accurate, yet expensive, CCSD(T)-PES (Li et al., J. Chem. Phys. 2015, 142, 204302). Further investigation suggested that the XYG3 functional is useful in providing accurate rate coefficients for some larger systems involving H atom abstractions. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Reactions occurring at a carbon atom through the Walden inversion mechanism are one of the most important and useful classes of reactions in chemistry. Here we report an accurate theoretical study of the simplest reaction of that type: the H+CH4 substitution reaction and its isotope analogues. It is found that the reaction threshold versus collision energy is considerably higher than the barrier height. The reaction exhibits a strong normal secondary isotope effect on the cross-sections measured above the reaction threshold, and a small but reverse secondary kinetic isotope effect at room temperature. Detailed analysis reveals that the reaction proceeds along a path with a higher barrier height instead of the minimum-energy path because the umbrella angle of the non-reacting methyl group cannot change synchronously with the other reaction coordinates during the reaction due to insufficient energy transfer from the translational motion to the umbrella mode.

Abstract
Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) mediate the facile conversion of methane into methanol in methanotrophic bacteria with high efficiency under ambient conditions. Because the selective oxidation of methane is extremely challenging, there is considerable interest in understanding how these enzymes carry out this difficult chemistry. The impetus of these efforts is to learn from the microbes to develop a biomimetic catalyst to accomplish the same chemical transformation. Here, we review the progress made over the past two to three decades toward delineating the structures and functions of the catalytic sites in two MMOs: soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO). sMMO is a water-soluble three-component protein complex consisting of a hydroxylase with a nonheme diiron catalytic site; pMMO is a membrane-bound metalloenzyme with a unique tricopper cluster as the site of hydroxylation. The metal cluster in each of these MMOs harnesses O2 to functionalize the C-H bond using different chemistry. We highlight some of the common basic principles that they share. Finally, the development of functional models of the catalytic sites of MMOs is described. These efforts have culminated in the first successful biomimetic catalyst capable of efficient methane oxidation without overoxidation at room temperature.

Abstract
The rate constants and kinetic isotope effects for the O(3P) + CH4 reaction have been investigated with the quantum instanton method in full dimensionality. The calculated rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental values above 400 K, below which the measured values are scattered. Compared to other theoretical approaches, the quantum instanton method predicts the largest quantum tunneling effect, so it gives the largest rate constants at low temperatures. The calculated kinetic isotope effects are always much larger than 1 and increase with decreasing temperature, due to the zero-point energy and quantum tunneling. Our calculations on different potential energy surfaces demonstrate that the potential energy barrier shape dominates the magnitude of quantum tunneling and has a great effect on the kinetic isotope effect.

Abstract
Despite its importance in chemistry, the microscopic dynamics of bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions is still not completely elucidated. In this publication, the dynamics of a prototypical SN2 reaction (F(-) + CH3Cl → CH3F + Cl(-)) is investigated using a high-dimensional quantum mechanical model on an accurate potential energy surface (PES) and further analyzed by quasi-classical trajectories on the same PES. While the indirect mechanism dominates at low collision energies, the direct mechanism makes a significant contribution. The reactivity is found to depend on the specific reactant vibrational mode excitation. The mode specificity, which is more prevalent in the direct reaction, is rationalized by a transition-state-based model.

Abstract
Application of exact quantum scattering methods in theoretical reaction dynamics of bimolecular reactions is limited by the complexity of the equations of nuclear motion to be solved. Simplification is often achieved by reducing the number of degrees of freedom to be explicitly handled by freezing the less important spectator modes. The reaction cross sections obtained in reduced-dimensionality (RD) quantum scattering methods can be used in the calculation of rate coefficients, but their physical meaning is limited. The accurate test of the performance of a reduced-dimensionality method would be a comparison of the RD cross sections with those obtained in accurate full-dimensional (FD) calculations, which is not feasible because of the lack of complete full-dimensional results. However, classical mechanics allows one to perform reaction dynamics calculations using both the RD and the FD model. In this paper, an RD versus FD comparison is made for the 8-dimensional Palma-Clary model on the example of four isotopologs of the CH4 + H → CH3 + H2 reaction, which has 12 internal dimensions. In the Palma-Clary model, the only restriction is that the methyl group is confined to maintain C3v symmetry. Both RD and FD opacity and excitation functions as well as differential cross sections were calculated using the quasiclassical trajectory method. The initial reactant separation has been handled according to our one-period averaging method [ Nagy et al. J. Chem. Phys. 2016, 144, 014104 ]. The RD and FD excitation functions were found to be close to each other for some isotopologs, but in general, the RD reactivity parameters are lower than the FD reactivity parameters beyond statistical error, and for one of the isotopologs, the deviation is significant. This indicates that the goodness of RD cross sections cannot be taken for granted.

Abstract
In this review, we survey the latest advances in theoretical understanding of bimolecular reaction dynamics in the past decade. The remarkable recent progress in this field has been driven by more accurate and efficient ab initio electronic structure theory, effective potential-energy surface fitting techniques, and novel quantum scattering algorithms. Quantum mechanical characterization of bimolecular reactions continues to uncover interesting dynamical phenomena in atom-diatom reactions and beyond, reaching an unprecedented level of sophistication. In tandem with experimental explorations, these theoretical developments have greatly advanced our understanding of key issues in reaction dynamics, such as microscopic reaction mechanisms, mode specificity, product energy disposal, influence of reactive resonances, and nonadiabatic effects.

Abstract
CONSPECTUS: Mode specificity is defined by the differences in reactivity due to excitations in various reactant modes, while bond selectivity refers to selective bond breaking in a reaction. These phenomena not only shed light on reaction dynamics but also open the door for laser control of reactions. The existence of mode specificity and bond selectivity in a reaction indicates that not all forms of energy are equivalent in promoting the reactivity, thus defying a statistical treatment. They also allow the enhancement of reactivity and control product branching ratio. As a result, they are of central importance in chemistry. This Account discusses recent advances in our understanding of these nonstatistical phenomena. In particular, the newly proposed sudden vector projection (SVP) model and its applications are reviewed. The SVP model is based on the premise that the collision in many direct reactions is much faster than intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution in the reactants. In such a sudden limit, the coupling of a reactant mode with the reaction coordinate at the transition state, which dictates its ability to promote the reaction, is approximately quantified by the projection of the former onto the latter. The SVP model can be considered as a generalization of the venerable Polanyi's rules, which are based on the location of the barrier. The SVP model is instead based on properties of the saddle point and as a result capable of treating the translational, rotational, and multiple vibrational modes in reactions involving polyatomic reactants. In case of surface reactions, the involvement of surface atoms can also be examined. Taking advantage of microscopic reversibility, the SVP model has also been used to predict product energy disposal in reactions. This simple yet powerful rule of thumb has been successfully demonstrated in many reactions including uni- and bimolecular reactions in the gas phase and gas-surface reactions. The success of the SVP model underscores the importance of the transition state in controlling mode-specific and bond-selective chemistry.

Abstract
Based exclusively on high-level ab initio calculations, a new full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface (PES-2014) for the gas-phase reaction of hydrogen abstraction from methane by an oxygen atom is developed. The ab initio information employed in the fit includes properties (equilibrium geometries, relative energies, and vibrational frequencies) of the reactants, products, saddle point, points on the reaction path, and points on the reaction swath, taking especial caution respecting the location and characterization of the intermediate complexes in the entrance and exit channels. By comparing with the reference results we show that the resulting PES-2014 reproduces reasonably well the whole set of ab initio data used in the fitting, obtained at the CCSD(T) = FULL/aug-cc-pVQZ//CCSD(T) = FC/cc-pVTZ single point level, which represents a severe test of the new surface. As a first application, on this analytical surface we perform an extensive dynamics study using quasi-classical trajectory calculations, comparing the results with recent experimental and theoretical data. The excitation function increases with energy (concave-up) reproducing experimental and theoretical information, although our values are somewhat larger. The OH rotovibrational distribution is cold in agreement with experiment. Finally, our results reproduce experimental backward scattering distribution, associated to a rebound mechanism. These results lend confidence to the accuracy of the new surface, which substantially improves the results obtained with our previous surface (PES-2000) for the same system.

Abstract
Effects of one-quantum excitation of the antisymmetric-stretching mode of CH4(v3 = 1) on the O((3)P) + CH4 reaction were studied in a crossed-beam, ion-imaging experiment. In the post-threshold region, we found that (1) the product state distributions are dominated by the CH3(0₀) + OH(v' = 1) pair, (2) the product angular distributions extend toward sideways from the backward dominance of the ground-state reaction, and (3) vibrational excitation exerts a positive effect on reactivity, but translational energy is more efficient in promoting the rate of this central-barrier reaction. All major findings agree reasonably well with recent theoretical results. Some remaining questions are pointed out.
