摘要
The potential energy surfaces （PES） of unimolecular dissociation reactions for di-ethyl beryl- lium and di-t-butyl beryllium are investigated by B3LYP, CCSD（T）, and G3B3 approaches. Possible reaction pathways through either the radical or transition state （TS） of the molecules are considered. The geometries, vibrational frequencies and relative energies for various sta- tionary points are determined. From the study of energetics, the TS pathways arising from concerted molecular eliminations are indicated to be the main dissociation pathways for both molecules. The PES differences of the dissociation reactions are investigated. The activation energies and rate constants will be helpful for investigating the predictive ability of the reaction in further theoretical and experimental research.
