Full-dimensional quantum dynamics calculations for the H+CH4 -> H-2+CH3 reaction using curvilinear coordinates are presented. A curvilinear coordinate system to describe reactions of the type X+YCH3 -> XY+CH3 is developed which facilitates efficient calculations using the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) approach. To describe the bending motion of the X and Y atoms relative to the axis defined by the CH3 fragment, coordinates based on stereographic projection are introduced. These coordinates yield a kinetic energy operator free of singularities within the dynamically relevant region. Employing this curvilinear coordinate system, full-dimensional and reduced dimensional MCTDH calculations study the cumulative reaction probability (for J=0) and the thermal rate constant for the H+CH4 reaction on the Jordan-Gilbert potential energy surface [J. Chem. Phys. 102, 5669 (1995)]. The full-dimensional results agree very well with previous full-dimensional MCTDH results which used transition state based normal coordinates. The results of our eight-dimensional (8D) calculations are in reasonable agreement with the full-dimensional ones. They deviate significantly from older 8D results of Zhang et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 127, 234213 (2007)] but agree well with more recent results from the same group. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3304920]
