Accurate full-dimensional quantum mechanical calculations are reported for
the CH4+H --> CH3+H-2 reaction employing the Jordan-Gilbert potential energ
y surface. Benchmark results for the thermal rate constant and the cumulati
ve reaction probability are presented and compared to classical transition
state theory as well as reduced dimensionality quantum scattering calculati
ons. The importance of quantum effects in this system is highlighted. (C) 2
