The isomerization reactions of singlet state and triplet state RN (R=CH3, CH3CH2)→R'NH (R'=CH2, CH3CH), and hydrogen elimination reactions of RN have been investigated at CASSCF/6-311+G (d, p) level. The single point energies are obtained at MP2/6-311+G (d, p) and CCSD/6-311+G (d, p) levels. The intersystem crossing (ISC) of the singlet and triplet potential surface during the RN (R=CH3, CH3CH2) isomerization illustrates clearly how the ground-state reactants 3RN (R=CH3, CH3CH2) transform to ground-state products 1R'NH (R'=CH2, CH3CH). The topological analysis of electron density shows that there exist two kind of structure transitional structure (STS) in the whole isomerization: a T-shaped conflict STS appears in the singlet isomeration channel and a bifurcation-type ring structure appears in the triplet isomeration channel. The “atom-molecule bond”, which exists in the H2 elimination channel, shows that two hydrogen atoms eliminate from CH3N as a H2 molecule.

Key words: reaction mechanism, electron density of topological analysis, structure transition state, atom-molecule bond
