The potential energy surface for the reactions CH3+OClO (1), CH3O+ClO (2) and CH3O2+Cl (3) is investigated using ab initio quantum mechanical methods. The calculations indicate the intermediate formation of two important isomeric energy minima, CH3OClO and CH3OOCl. H2CO+HOCl and CH3O+ClO are shown to be the most probable products for reaction (1) and H2CO+HOCl and CH2O2+HCl for reaction (2). Reaction (3) most probably leads to either CH2O2+HCl or CH3O+ClO.
