The potential energy surface for the reaction of methoxy radical with carbon monoxide has been studied using the G2(B2LYP/MP2/CC) method. Two reaction mechanisms were revealed. The hydrogen abstraction of CH{sub 3}O by CO produces CH{sub 2}O + HCO via a barrier of 24.19 kcal/mol. The addition of CH{sub 3}O to CO proceeds to an intermediate CH{sub 3}OCO via a barrier of 6.39 kcal/mol. The products, CH{sub 3} and CO{sub 2}, can be formed in two ways. One is the C-O bond cleavage of the CH{sub 3}OCO radical. The other involves the isomerization of CH{sub 3}OCO to the CH{sub 3}CO{sub 2} radical and the subsequent C-C bond fission. CH{sub 2}O and HCI can be formed via the path CH{sub 3}OCO {r{underscore}arrow} TS6 {r{underscore}arrow} IM4 {r{underscore}arrow} TS7 {r{underscore}arrow} CH{sub 2}O + HCO. A radical product, CH{sub 2}COOH, is formed through the hydrogen rearrangement of the CH{sub 3}CO{sub 2} radical. Multichannel RRKM calculations have been carried out for the total and individual rate constants for various channels over a wide range of temperatures and pressures using the ab initio data. At lower temperatures, the title reaction is dominated by the stabilization of the CH{sub 3}OCO radical. At higher temperatures, the CH{sub 3} + CO product channel and the direct hydrogen abstraction channels become dominant and competitive. The title reaction shows the typical fall-off behavior. The calculations were compared with the available experimental data.
