β¦ Synopsis
The potential energy surface of the singlet carbenoid H2CLiCI has been examined using ab initio methods including electron correlation. The 6-31G * basis set was used for all geometry optimizations. Three equilibrium structures and two isomeric transition states were located, but only the lowest energy structure with a three-membered ring should be experimentally observable and take part in chemical reactions. In addition, CH2LiF has been re-examined and it was found that isomerization of the structure with p-complex form to the structure with three-membered ring form was more reasonable via a rotational transition state than an inversion transition state.

The multiple channel reaction H + CH(3)CH(2)Cl --> products has been studied by the ab initio direct dynamics method. The potential energy surface information is calculated at the MP2/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. The energies along the minimum energy path are further improved by single-point energy
The equilibrium geometry of the title compound, which serves as a model for Ti (dmpe)C13CH3, has been obtained by means of SCF and MP2 calculations. The computed MP2 geometry is in excellent agreement with experimental neutron diffraction data. The crucial angle Ti-C-H of 93.5 Β° that led previous wo
