The reaction mechanism of SrO + CH4 has been investigated on a singlet spin state potential energy surface at the B3LYP/SDD, AUG-cc-pVQZ//B3LYP/SDD, 6-311+G(2df, 2p) levels of theory. Initially, the reactants give two molecule–molecule complexes: (i) a collinear C–H approach to O-end of the Sr–O bond forming SrOCH4 molecular complex with C3v symmetry, and (ii) a side-on to side-on approach of C–H bond to Sr–O forming OSrCH4 molecular complex with C1 symmetry. From SrOCH4, the SrOH + CH3 radicals are formed by the direct abstraction of a hydrogen atom from CH4 moiety. From OSrCH4, the gas-phase methane to methanol conversion by SrO is suggested to involve the SrO insertion into a C–H bond of CH4 to produce the hydroxy and methoxy intermediates, HOSrCH3 and HSrOCH3, and the reaction pathway via the hydroxy intermediate (HOSrCH3) is energetically more favorable than the other one via the methoxy intermediate (HSrOCH3). These channels to form (SrOH + CH3) and (Sr + CH3OH) are expected to compete with each oth...
