Communication: A Chemically Accurate Global Potential Energy Surface for the HO + CO → H + CO₂ Reaction

Abstract

We report a chemically accurate global potential energy surface for the HOCO system based on high-level ab initio calculations at ~35000 points. The potential energy surface is shown to reproduce important stationary points and minimum energy paths. Quasi-classical trajectory calculations indicated a good agreement with experimental data.
