Recent progress is reported on a research program aimed at developing and applying sophisticated transition state theory-based models for the kinetics of barrierless reactions of importance in combustion. Various applications involving the coupling of the variable reaction coordinate (VRC) transition state theory (TST) methodology with ab initio quantum chemical evaluations and/or master equation simulations were provided. Reactions studied included the C{sub 3}H{sub 3} + H and C{sub 3}H{sub 5} + H addition reactions, C{sub 2}H{sub 3} + C{sub 2}H{sub 2} and C{sub 2}H{sub 5} + O{sub 2} reactions, and the unimolecular dissociation of ketene
