The structure of complexes formed in the [CH4+Br+] system was simulate
d by the MNDO/PM3 method. Along with five local minima, a number of st
ationary points at which the Hessians have only one negative eigenvalu
e were found on the potential energy surface of this system. The resul
ts obtained were used for interpretation of the mechanisms of reaction
s occurring in the [CH4+Br+] system.
