The stabling function of the NO to the (CH 3 ) 3 CO · radical has been theoretically investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to optimize the geometries of relevant species. The single‐point energy is evaluated at CCSD(T)/6‐31++G** level. Three reaction channels of (CH 3 ) 3 CO · + NO in the singlet state are considered. The calculations indicate that NO is a stable reagent of active radical (CH 3 ) 3 CO. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005
