We have explored the possibility of occurrence of the concerted formation of the methylene amidogene radical and its cis isomer from H 2 and CN at energy regimes of over 60 kcal/mol relative to the ground state of the radical. We have concluded that for the cases of parallel and perpendicular orientations of H 2 and CN, a concerted reaction is possible in principle provided that H 2 is vibrationally excited. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
