Popis: Nucleophilic addition of hydrosulfide ion to formaldehyde has been investigated by ab initio quantum mechanical methods. Contrary to the system HO − +H 2 CO, our study reveals that no minimum exists for the tetrahedral structure of the adduct of HS − and H 2 CO on the potential surface. Orbital interaction analysis allows one to understand the different behaviors of HO − and HS − towards H 2 CO. Moreover it appears that in the case of HS − the only reactive pathway involves simultaneous proton transfer and carbon sulfur bond formation leading to the formation of the H 2 C(S, OH) − species.
