✦ Synopsis
Coupled pair functional, multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory, and multireference CI methods have been applied in a calculation of the electron affinity of the oxygen molecule. The convergence of the theoretical result has been checked with respect to a systematic expansion of the one-electron basis and the multireference CI wavefunction. The best calculated value, 0.39 eV, is 0.06 eV smaller than the recent experimental value 0.45+ 0.01 eV.

The reaction of OH radicals with olefins is known to be important in atmospheric chemistry. From experimental data a global mechanism has been proposed, but the regioselectivity of the products is uncertain. In this work, the OH-propene-O 2 reaction has been studied with ab initio molecular orbital
It was determined in ab initio calculations that an electron can attach to thymine, forming a stable anion. The electron is attached predominantly to the positive end of the molecular dipole moment; however, some contribution from the covalent character is also present. The adiabatic electron affini
