Abstract
A systematic mechanistic survey was performed for the CH3OH + OH reaction on ice. ONIOM(ωB97X-D/Def2-TZVP:AMOEBA09) calculations suggested a range of binding energies for the CH2OH radical (0.29-0.69 eV) and CH3OH (0.15-0.72 eV) molecule on hexagonal water ice (Ih) and amorphous solid water (ASW). Computed average binding energies of CH2OH radical (0.49 eV) and CH3OH (0.41 eV) are relatively stronger compared to the CH3O radical binding energies (0.32 eV, Sameera et al., J. Phy. Chem. A, 2021, 125, 387-393). Thus, the CH3OH molecule, CH2OH and CH3O radicals can adsorb on ice, where the binding energies follow the order CH2OH > CH3OH > CH3O. The multi-component artificial force-induced reaction (MC-AFIR) method systematically determined the reaction mechanisms for the CH3OH + OH reaction on ice, where two reaction paths, giving rise to CH2OH and CH3O radicals, were confirmed. A range of reaction barriers, employing the ωB97X-D/Def2-TZVP level of theory, was found for each reaction (0.03-0.11 eV for CH2OH radical formation, and 0.03-0.44 eV for CH3O radical formation). Based on the lowest energy reaction paths, we suspect that both reactions operate on ice. The computed data in this study evidence that the nature of the binding site or the reaction site has a significant effect on the computed binding energies or reaction barriers. Thus, the outcomes of the present study will be very useful for the computational astrochemistry community to determine reliable binding energies and reaction barriers on ice.

Abstract
Organic alcohols as very volatile compounds play a crucial role in the air quality of the atmosphere. So, the removal processes of such compounds are an important atmospheric challenge. The main goal of this research is to discover the atmospheric relevance of degradation paths of linear alcohols by imidogen with the aid of simulation by quantum mechanical (QM) methods. To this end, we combine broad mechanistic and kinetic results to get more accurate information and to have a deeper insight into the behavior of the designed reactions. Thus, the main and necessary reaction pathways are explored by well-behaved QM methods for complete elucidation of the studying gaseous reactions. Moreover, the potential energy surfaces as a main factor are computed for easier judging of the most probable pathways in the simulated reactions. Our attempt to find the occurrence of the considered reactions in the atmospheric conditions is completed by precisely evaluating the rate constants of all elementary reactions. All of the computed bimolecular rate constants have a positive dependency on both temperature and pressure. The kinetic results show that H-abstraction from the α carbon is dominant relative to the other sites. Finally, by the results of this study, we conclude that at moderate temperatures and pressures primary alcohols can degrade with imidogen, so they can get atmospheric relevance.

Abstract
Mid-infrared spectra of methanol and methanol-water clusters have been investigated in the symmetric CD3 stretching band of CD3OH and CD3OD. We find that the position of this band provides a useful signature of the general type of hydrogen-bonded cluster it is associated with. Our results are consistent with those previously reported in the OH stretching region (Sulaiman, M. I.; Yang, S.; Ellis, A. M. J. Phys. Chem. A 2017, 121, 771-776) in that methanol clusters from the trimer to the pentamer are cyclic and that mixed clusters with one water molecule (and at least two methanol molecules) are also cyclic. We additionally provide evidence that the methanol trimer adopts a chair-like structure (as opposed to bowl-like), that mixed clusters with a larger number of water molecules are also cyclic, and that branched methanol clusters contribute to the depletion signal in larger methanol clusters. We performed double-hybrid DFT calculations which support these interpretations.

Abstract
Vibronically resolved laser-induced fluorescence/dispersed fluorescence (LIF/DF) and cavity ring-down (CRD) spectra of the electronic transition of the calcium isopropoxide [CaOCH(CH3)2] radical have been obtained under jet-cooled conditions. An essentially constant energy separation of 68 cm-1 has been observed for the vibrational ground levels and all fundamental vibrational levels accessed in the LIF measurement. To simulate the experimental spectra and assign the recorded vibronic bands, Franck-Condon (FC) factors and vibrational branching ratios (VBRs) are predicted from vibrational modes and their frequencies calculated using the complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD) methods. Combined with the calculated electronic transition energy, the computational results, especially those from the EOM-CCSD calculations, reproduced the experimental spectra with considerable accuracy. The experimental and computational results suggest that the FC matrix for the studied electronic transition is largely diagonal, but transitions from the vibrationless levels of the à state to the X̃-state levels of the CCC bending (ν14 and ν15), CaO stretch (ν13), and CaOC asymmetric stretch (ν9 and ν11) modes also have considerable intensities. Transitions to low-frequency in-plane [ν17(a')] and out-of-plane [ν30(a'')] CaOC bending modes were observed in the experimental LIF/DF spectra, the latter being FC-forbidden but induced by the pseudo-Jahn-Teller (pJT) effect. Both bending modes are coupled to the CaOC asymmetric stretch mode via the Duschinsky rotation, as demonstrated in the DF spectra obtained by pumping non-origin vibronic transitions. The pJT interaction also induces transitions to the ground-state vibrational level of the ν10(a') mode, which has the CaOC bending character. Our combined experimental and computational results provide critical information for future direct laser cooling of the target molecule and other alkaline earth monoalkoxide radicals.

Abstract
Radicals are abundant in a range of important gas-phase environments. They are prevalent in the atmosphere, in interstellar space, and in combustion processes. As such, understanding how radicals react is essential for the development of accurate models of the complex chemistry occurring in these gas-phase environments. By controlling the properties of the colliding reactants, we can also gain insights into how radical reactions occur on a fundamental level. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in the breadth of experimental methods successfully applied to the study of reaction dynamics involving paramagnetic species-from improvements to the well-known crossed molecular beams approach to newer techniques involving magnetically guided and decelerated beams. Coupled with ever-improving theoretical methods, quantum features are being observed and interesting insights into reaction dynamics are being uncovered in an increasingly diverse range of systems. In this highlight article, we explore some of the exciting recent developments in the study of chemical dynamics involving paramagnetic species. We focus on low-energy reactive collisions involving neutral radical species, where the reaction parameters are controlled. We conclude by identifying some of the limitations of current methods and exploring possible new directions for the field.

Abstract
Intermolecular interactions, stereodynamics, and coupled potential energy surfaces (PESs) all play a significant role in determining the outcomes of molecular collisions. A detailed knowledge of such processes is often essential for a proper interpretation of spectroscopic observations. For example, nitric oxide (NO), an important radical in combustion and atmospheric chemistry, is commonly quantified using laser-induced fluorescence on the A2Σ+ ← X2Π transition band. However, the electronic quenching of NO (A2Σ+) with other molecular species provides alternative nonradiative pathways that compete with fluorescence. While the cross sections and rate constants of NO (A2Σ+) electronic quenching have been experimentally measured for a number of important molecular collision partners, the underlying photochemical mechanisms responsible for the electronic quenching are not well understood. In this paper, we describe the development of high-quality PESs that provide new physical insights into the intermolecular interactions and conical intersections that facilitate the branching between the electronic quenching and scattering of NO (A2Σ+) with H2, N2, and CO. The PESs are calculated at the EOM-EA-CCSD/d-aug-cc-pVTZ//EOM-EA-CCSD/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory, an approach that ensures a balanced treatment of the valence and Rydberg electronic states and an accurate description of the open-shell character of NO. Our PESs show that H2 is incapable of electronically quenching NO (A2Σ+) at low collision energies; instead, the two molecules will likely undergo scattering. The PESs of NO (A2Σ+) with N2 and CO are highly anisotropic and demonstrate evidence of electron transfer from NO (A2Σ+) into the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the collision partner, that is, the harpoon mechanism. In the case of ON + CO, the PES becomes strongly attractive at longer intermolecular distances and funnels population to a conical intersection between NO (A2Σ+) + CO and NO (X2Π) + CO. In contrast, for ON + N2, the conical intersection is preceded by an ∼0.40 eV barrier. Overall, our work shines new light into the impact of coupled PESs on the nonadiabatic dynamics of open-shell systems.

Abstract
A recent Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics study of the reactions of OH with methanol and formaldehyde, at zero pressure and below 100 K, has shown the formation of long lived complexes, with long lifetimes, longer than 100 ns for the lower temperatures studied, 20-100 K (del Mazo-Sevillano et al., 2019). These long lifetimes support the existence of multi collision events with the He buffer-gas atoms under experimental conditions, as suggested by several transition state theory studies of these reactions. In this work we study these secondary collisions, as a dynamical approach to study pressure effects on these reactions. For this purpose, the potential energy surfaces of He with H2CO, OH, H2O and HCO are calculated at highly accurate ab initio level. The stability of some of the complexes is studied using Path Integral Molecular dynamics techniques, determining that OH-H2CO complexes can be formed up to 100 K or higher temperatures, while the weaker He-H2CO complexes dissociate at approximately 50 K. The predicted IR intensity spectra shows new features which could help the identification of the OH-H2CO complex. Finally, the He-H2CO + OH and OH-H2CO + He collisions are studied using quassi-classical trajectories, finding that the cross section to produce HCO + H2O products increases with decreasing collision energy, and that it is ten times higher in the He-H2CO + OH case.

Abstract
A generally accepted principle of chemical kinetics is that a reaction will be very slow at low temperatures if there is an activation barrier on the potential energy surface to form products. However, this Account shows that the reverse is true for gas-phase hydrogen abstraction reactions of the hydroxyl radical, OH, with organic molecules with which it can form a weakly bound (5-30 kJ mol-1) hydrogen-bonded complex. For hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of OH with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) containing alcohol, ether, carbonyl, and ester functional groups, the reaction accelerates rapidly at very low temperatures, with rate coefficients, k, that can be up to a 1000 times faster than those at room temperature, despite the barrier to products. The OH radical is a crucial intermediate in Earth's atmosphere, combustion processes, and the chemistry of the interstellar medium, where temperatures can reach as low as 10 K, so this behavior has very important implications for gas-phase chemistry in space. The key point is that at low temperatures the lifetime of the OH-VOC complex against re-dissociation back to reactants becomes much longer, and hence the probability of quantum mechanical tunneling under the reaction barrier to form products becomes much higher. These observations were made possible by using Laval nozzles to generate uniform supersonic flows at extremely low temperatures so that condensation of the reagents at reactor walls is avoided. In this Account, the use of laser flash-photolysis combined with laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy within Laval flows is described to study the unusual kinetics of this type of reaction at temperatures down to 21 K and demonstrate the rapid upturn in the rate coefficient. For the reaction of OH with CH3OH, further evidence for the precomplex and tunneling mechanism comes from observation of the CH3O reaction product at very low temperatures, despite it being formed over the higher barrier to reaction. The experimental observations are supported by theoretical calculations using the MESMER master equation package to calculate k( T) and product yields as a function of temperature and which make use of potential energy surfaces determined using ab initio methods. The CH3O product is formed over a narrower barrier with a larger imaginary frequency and is calculated to be the sole product at very low temperatures. The kinetics of the OH reaction with CH3OH were measured to be independent of pressure, consistent with a tunneling mechanism rather than any collisional stabilization of the prereactive complex. In this Account, we collate available kinetic data and show that this newly discovered mechanism for H atom transfer reactions appears to be generally applicable for reactions of OH with organic molecules containing oxygenated functional groups, which have been observed in space by radio-astronomy. Rather than being ignored for a range of interstellar environments, these OH reactions are now being included in chemical networks in space and have been shown to significantly influence the abundance of OH, the organic molecules themselves, and reaction products and provide novel routes to forming even more complex functional groups, for example, precursors to prebiotic molecules.

Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction of methanol with hydroxyl radicals is revisited in light of the reported new kinetic data, measured in cold expansion beams. The rate constants exhibit an approximately 10(2)-fold increase when the temperature decreases from 200 to 50 K, a result that cannot be fully explained by tunneling, as we confirm by new calculations. These calculations also show that methanol dimers are much more reactive to hydroxyl than monomers and imply that a dimer concentration of about 30% of the equilibrium concentration can account quantitatively for the observed rates. The assumed presence of dimers is supported by the observation of cluster formation in these and other cold beams of molecules subject to hydrogen bonding. The calculations imply an important caveat with respect to the use of cold expansion beams for the study of interstellar chemistry.

Abstract
In the last years, ultra-low temperature chemical kinetic experiments have demonstrated that some gas-phase reactions are much faster than previously thought. One example is the reaction between OH and CH3OH, which has been recently found to be accelerated at low temperatures yielding CH3O as main product. This finding opened the question of whether the CH3O observed in the dense core Barnard 1b could be formed by the gas-phase reaction of CH3OH and OH. Several chemical models including this reaction and grain-surface processes have been developed to explain the observed abundance of CH3O with little success. Here we report for the first time rate coefficients for the gas-phase reaction of OH and CH3OH down to a temperature of 22 K, very close to those in cold interstellar clouds. Two independent experimental set-ups based on the supersonic gas expansion technique coupled to the pulsed laser photolysis-laser induced fluorescence technique were used to determine rate coefficients in the temperature range 22-64 K. The temperature dependence obtained in this work can be expressed as k(22-64 K) = (3.6 ± 0.1) × 10-12(T/300 K)-(1.0±0.2) cm3 molecule-1 s-1. Implementing this expression in a chemical model of a cold dense cloud results in CH3O/CH3OH abundance ratios similar or slightly lower than the value of ∼ 3 × 10-3 observed in Barnard 1b. This finding confirms that the gas-phase reaction between OH and CH3OH is an important contributor to the formation of interstellar CH3O. The role of grain-surface processes in the formation of CH3O, although it cannot be fully neglected, remains controversial.
