Reaction rate constants were predicted following a semiclassical approach based on quantum mechanical calculations and transition-state theory. The critical configuration was determined using linear interpolations for the geometry of the intermediate structures, Morse potentials for the intermediate electronic energies, and Hase's relationship for the vibrational frequencies that become annihilated. Low-pressure rate constants were calculated from Rice−Ramsperger−Kassel−Marcus (RRKM) theory following the Troe approach. The calculations were compared with experimental values for the dissociation of one methyl radical from the closed-shell molecules Al(CH3)3, Ga(CH3)3, and In(CH3)3 and the radical molecules Ga(CH3)2 and In(CH3) and for the dissociation of one hydrogen atom from NH3, PH3, and AsH3.

Early design of the HPOMCVD reactor dramatically evolved long before any physical reactor was built. This effort offers a strong endorsement of such multidisciplinary, computationally based modeling teams in the design of new products in areas of emerging technologies where heretofore extensive and costly experimental design was the central paradigm.}, number={8}, journal={MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTER MODELLING}, author={Bachmann, KJ and Banks, HT and Hopfner, C and Kepler, GM and LeSure, S and McCall, SD and Scroggs, JS}, year={1999}, month={Apr}, pages={65–80} }
