CH2(S) + CH4 -> CH3 + CH3

k = 1.60E+13 exp(570 cal/mol /RT) cm3/mol s

SOURCE:
The rate coefficient is the average of the values of Langford et al. (1983), Ashfold et al. (1981), and Wegener (1990) with the temperature dependence taken from Wegener (1990).

COMMENTS:
Served as an optimization variable for GRI-Mech 3.0 and was not changed.
