Two possible reactions of NbS+ (3∑^-, 1Г) with CO in the gas phase have been studied by using B3LYP and CCSD(T) methods: the O/S exchange reaction (NbS^+ + CO → NbO^+ + CS) and the S-transfer reaction ...Two possible reactions of NbS+ (3∑^-, 1Г) with CO in the gas phase have been studied by using B3LYP and CCSD(T) methods: the O/S exchange reaction (NbS^+ + CO → NbO^+ + CS) and the S-transfer reaction (NbS+ + CO → Nb^+ + COS). The two reactions have a one-step mechanism. The barriers of the O/S exchange reaction on the triplet and singlet surfaces are 51.2 and 52.4 kcal/mol, respectively, and the barriers of the S-transfer reaction are 58.3 and 78.0 kcal/mol, respectively. The results indicate that the Stransfer and the O/S exchange reaction of the 3∑^- ground state of NbS+ are competing, but, for the S-transfer reaction, the 1F exited state is more reactive.
