    Abstract: The reaction mechanisms of the oxidation of hydrazine / hydrazinium ion by iodine have been studied using 6311+G** basis set of the density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP level of computation. The study shows that the oxidation reactions can proceed via four independent routes or pathways that can be separately monitored. Two of the pr... Show More
