An ab initio study of the low-lying states of CICC and SCrH has been carried out. In the case of ClCC a 2Z+ state lies lowest in energy at the UHF level, but correlation effects favour a zTI state, which is predicted to be the ground state. In the case of S&H, a linear SCCH species (2H state) is fou

β¦ Synopsis
An ab initio study of the low-lying states of SiC2H has been carried out at the unrestricted Hartree-Fock level. A linear SiCCH species ('II) is found to be the ground state, with a cyclic *A' state lying about 4.5 kcal/mol higher at correlated levels. A *A (C, symmetry) state is found to be the lowest-lying state of HSiCC. In view of the predicted rotational constants and dipole moments, the possibility of any of these SiC2H species being the new radical recently detected in space is discussed.
