We report the first theoretical determination of cross sections and rate constants for the Si+OH→SiO+H reaction based on dynamics calculations. Quasi-classical trajectory calculations have been carried out for several rotational states of OH using an ab initio potential energy surface recently developed for the X2A′ ground electronic state of SiOH/HSiO. The cross sections behave with collision energies...
