โฆ Synopsis
Rcccivcd 6 Scptcmber 1976 ST0 4G calculations arc carried out on methane in both tetrahcdrd and l&n-Teller dIstorted Czv and Czv symmctcies. Large incrcascs in Cl1 bond lengths are prcdictcd in al! states, and the r B1 state in Czv symmetry is prcdictcd to dissociate to * B1 mcthylcne and 'Ai Hz with no cncrgy barrier. The nxults are compared with carlicr INDO calculations, and the latter arc found to bc quahtativcly consistent with the ab imtio results.
