For each of the two channels the following simple reaction path is predicted: reactants → transition state → intermediate → products. The previously reported complicated paths2 calculated without using the IRC technique are criticized. Our calculations indicate that channel (i) is exothermic and has a negligible energy barrier while channel (ii) is endothermic and has a substantial energy barrier. These results imply that channel (i) is favorable, which is in line with experiment.展开更多
