The reaction path has been obtained with Intricate Reaction Coordinates （IRC） method on identical theoretical level. Additionally, the linear transition states of HArCl, HArBr, HKrCl and HKrBr were obtained at MP2/6-311 ＋＋G （2d, 2p） level, resulting in 3-body dissociation channel as H-Rg-X→H ＋ Rg＋ X.展开更多
