The potential energy surface describing the interaction of the HCO radical with molecular hydrogen has been computed through explicitly correlated coupled cluster calculations including single, double, and (perturbative) triple excitations [RCCSD(T)-F12a], with the assumption of fixed molecular geometries. The computed points were fit to an analytical form suitable for time-independent quantum scattering calculations of rotationally inelastic cross sections and rate coefficients. Since the spin-rotation splittings in HCO are small, cross sections for fine-structure resolved transitions are computed with electron-spin free T matrix elements through the recoupling technique usually employed to determine hyperfine-resolved cross sections. Both spin-free and fine-structure resolved state-to-state cross sections for rotationally inelastic transitions are presented and discussed.
