The optimized geometries for reactants, intermediates, transition states, and possible products for the reaction of NH/sub 2/ and NO, obtained at the HF/6-31G* level of theory, are given. HF, MP2, and MP4SDQ energies are given. Harmonic vibrational frequencies are reported for all species. The study confirms that the pathway leading to the production of N/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/O via intramolecular rearrangement of N/sub 2/H/sub 2/O species can occur with a small or no activation barrier. The channel to N/sub 2/H + OH will be at most a secondary pathway.
