Identifying atomic-level mechanisms in elemental chemical reactions is crucial for understanding complex reaction processes. This study focuses on the typical multichannel H + NHCl reaction, which plays a significant role in environmental science. High-level ab initio calculations determined seven distinct reaction pathways, leading to three product channels: H + NHCl, HCl + NH, and Cl + NH.

Ag(I) salts have demonstrated superior catalytic activity in the cubane-cuneane rearrangement. This research presents a comprehensive mechanistic investigation using high-level computations. The reaction proceeds via oxidative addition (OA) of Ag(I) to the C-C bond, followed by C-Ag bond cleavage and subsequent dynamically concerted carbocation rearrangement.

Central-atom effects on bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S 2) reactions are well-known in chemistry, however, the atomic-level S 2 dynamics at phosphorous (P) centers has never been studied. We investigate the dynamics of the F +PH Cl reaction with the quasi-classical trajectory method on a novel full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface fitted on high-level ab initio data. Our computations reveal intermediate dynamics compared to the F +CH Cl and the F +NH Cl S 2 reactions: phosphorus as central atom leads to a more indirect S 2 reaction with extensive complex-formation with respect to the carbon-centered one, however, the title reaction is more direct than its N-centered pair.

An accurate description of non-equilibrium chemistry relies on rovibrational state-to-state (StS) kinetics data, which can be obtained through the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method for high-energy collisions. However, these calculations still represent one of the major computational bottlenecks in predictive simulations of non-equilibrium reacting gases. This work addresses this limitation by proposing SurQCT, a novel machine learning-based surrogate for efficiently and accurately predicting StS chemical reaction rate coefficients.
