Notes:
A method for constructing potential energy surfaces previously proposed by the author has been extended to hydrogen transfer reactions between halide, oxygen, and carbon atoms. A qualitative relation was found between the repulsive energy and the number of anti-bonding electrons. In general, the calculated kinetic isotope effect is in satisfactory agreement with observed values and the contributions by H-atom tunneling to the rate of reaction is smaller than that obtained from other surfaces.
