Theoretical study of the molecular properties and the formation kinetics of the FS(O 2)OCO radical
Conformational mobilities, vibrational frequencies and the enthalpy of formation of FS(O 2)OCO have been calculated by using DFT and ab initio methods. The reaction FSO 3 + CO → FS(O 2)OCO was analyzed by transition state theory. Molecular and kinetics properties of the FS(O 2)OCO radical have been...
