Resumo

A theoretical investigation employing reliable methodologies was conducted to determine the properties for the elementary reactions CH2CN + H <--> CH3CN, CH3CH2 + N <-<--> CH3CH2N, CH3CH2N <--> CH3CHN + H and CH3CHN <-<--> CH3CN + H. These reactions were considered to describe two potential pathways to produce CH3CN in Titan's atmosphere. The first two reactions presented no well-defined transition state and exoergicities equal to 95.3 and 69.9 kcal mol-1 while the calculated barriers for the last two reactions were 33.6 and 27.9 kcal mol-1. Kinetic properties were determined for the temperature range of 70 K to 300 K. The obtained rate coefficients at 100 K were 3.3 x10-9 and 5.2 x10-9 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 for the barrierless reactions and 7.8 x 10-58 and 1.7 x 10-42 s-1 for the following reactions. (AU)
