The electronic structure of the disilavinylidene ( HZSi = Si) -anion is investigated with the MC SCF CI and CEPA methods. In addition to the doublet ground state ( 2B2) with an electron affinity of 1.65 eV, an excited state (4A") is found which is still stable by about 0.6 eV. 'A, 'A\* \*B\* K(3a1)\
Several features of the ESR spectrum of Li-naphthalenide are rationalized by examination of the Atherton-Weissman model with the INDO molecular orbital method.
The planar cis conformer is calculated as lowest in energy but the trans is sufficiently close that both species may be present at room temperature. The difference in the peak absorption energy for the strong 1 'A'+2 'A' transition is calculated to be sufflciently large between the conformers to dis
