Figure 2: Arrhenius plots of the thermal rate constant for the H + C H 4 H 2 + C H 3 reaction. The solid line is the quantum instanton rate. Dotted and dashed lines are the Arrhenius fits of the experimental data from [47, 48], respectively. The dot-dashed line is the result of the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree approach (MCTDH) [49]. The open squares are the results of the canonical variational theory with microcanonical optimized multidimensional tunneling (CVT/μOMT) [46].
