The protonation and hydration of carbon suboxide (O=C=C=C=O) were studied by ab initio molecular orbital methods. While the geometries of the stationary points were optimized using MP2/6-31G(d,p) calculations, relative energies were estimated using QCISD(T)/6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d,p) ZPE. The behavi

The properties and reactivities of ketene, thioketene, and selenoketene were studied using the G2(MP2) level of theory. Calculated structures, vibrational frequencies, dipole moments, NMR chemical shifts, and charge distributions strongly suggest that thioketene and selenoketene are best represented by the neutral cumulenic form. Four prototype reactions were examined: ketene-ynol rearrangement, elec-

Molecular orbital calculations are reported on the structure and electronic properties of diphenyl sulfide using both semiempirical and ab initio methods. Neither the MNDO nor AM1 methods give satisfactory structures, but better results are obtained with the PM3 method. At the ab initio level, the 4
