Abstract
We partition the phenomenological enthalpy and entropy of activation for five hydrogen atom transfer reactions, H + H2 → H2+ H, D + H2→ HD + H, H + D2→ HD + D, O(3P) + H2→ OH + H, and OH + H2→ H2O + H into substantial and nonsubstantial contributions. The latter, which are not considered explicitly in previous thermochemical kinetic models, are very significant. The present analysis could serve as the start of a semiempirical data base for the inclusion of variational and tunneling effects in future thermochemical kinetic models.
