Energies of the OH– + CH3I system relative to the reactants obtained by different ab initio methods and aug-cc-pVDZ (DZ) and aug-cc-pVTZ (TZ) basis sets corresponding to a representative nonstationary configuration taken from the fitting set where the traditional (T) approximation fails (left).41 The composite energy is defined as CCSD-F12b/TZ + BCCD(T)/DZ – BCCD/DZ. Reaction probabilities as a function of impact parameters for the SN2, proton-transfer (PT), and unphysical (rejected) channels of the OH– + CH3I reaction obtained on a CCSD(T)-F12b/TZ PES (middle) and on a composite PES (right) at 20 kcal/mol collision energy.41 The left panel is adapted with permission from ref (41).
