The calculated results explicitly indicated that the reaction exist spin-forbidden phenomenon between the singlet and the triplet potential energy surfaces (PESs). Two crossing points (CP1 and CP2) which play a significant role in this catalytic reaction. The values of the spin-orbit coupling constants are 673.1 cm<sup>-1</sup> at CP1 and 284.2 cm<sup>-1</sup> at CP2, which indicate that the spin crossing process can occur efficiently due to the large spin-orbit coupling involved. This process made the value of activation energy reduce 108.5 kJ/mol, which are helpful for the reaction on kinetics and thermodynamics.</p>}, number={17}, journal={Asian Journal of Chemistry}, author={Chen, Dong-Ping and Gai, Ke and Kong, Chao and Han, Yan-Xia and Hou, Li-Jie and Wu, Bo-Wang}, year={2013}, month={Nov.}, pages={9460–9464} }
