Abstract

Most aircraft engines are powered by burning aviation kerosene, which is primarily composed of large hydrocarbon molecules, especially large-chain alkanes, containing more than 10 carbon atoms. This study aims to provide an accurate and efficient approach for the computational thermochemistry of large straight chain alkanes. This paper presents an ONIOM[QCISD(T)/CBS:DFT]-method-based theoretical study on the hydrogen abstraction reactions of large straight-chain alkanes CnH2n+2 (n=1-16) by hydrogen (H), hydroxyl (OH) and hydroperoxyl (HO2) radicals. The results are in very good agreement with those obtained using the widely accepted high-level QCISD(T)/CBS method and the computational errors were less than 0.15 kcal/mol, so it provides the reliable thermochemical data for chemical kinetics calculation.
