Hydrogen abstraction from a molecule by OH is an important step in several reaction mechanisms of a key relevance in the chemistry of the atmosphere. The upper limit at 300 K for the rate constant of one of the simplest hydrogen abstraction reactions, HO + HOH → HOH + OH (1), has been experimentally established. This reaction is intrinsicaly interesting because the associated isotope exchange reactions, H18O + HOH → H18OH + OH (2) and DO + HOH → DOH + OH (3), could affect the isotopic composition of the stratospheric water. The rate constants for those two reactions have also been experimentally measured in the interval 300−420 K (reaction 2) and at 300 K (reaction 3). In addition, the upper limit at 300 K for the rate constant of the reaction HO + DOD → HOD + OD (4) has also been given. In this paper, we have theoretically calculated the rate constants and their temperature dependence for the above-mentioned four hydrogen (deuterium) transfer reactions by means of ab initio electronic structure calculati...
