The two possible reaction paths of producing ethane on coupling reaction of methane through plasma were theoretically investigated by B3LYP and MPF2 methods with 6‐311G* respectively and further compared with the previous results calculated from B3LYP/6‐31G*. The new investigated results consistently confirmed the previous conclusion. And the influences of the calculation methods and basis sets on the calculated results were also discussed.
