Theoretical study of the reaction C(3P)+N2O(X 1Σ+). I. Potential energy surfaces

Abstract
We report a theoretical study of the reaction C(3P)+N2O(X 1Σ+) which leads exclusively to the formation of CN(X 2Σ+) and CN(A 2π). The determination of the potential energy surfaces, after extended CI calculation, allows us to interpret these facts through differences of activation barriers, avoided crossing, and nonadiabatic transitions.
