✦ Synopsis


Part of the potential energy surface for ionized vinyl alcohol, [CH 2 =CHOH] Á , 1 Á , acetaldehyde, [CH 3 CHO] Á , 2 Á , and hydroxycarbene [CH 3 COH] Á , 3 Á , is calculated at the G2 level of theory. It is confirmed that the latter structure is a stable species (predicted 298K heat of formation = 835 kJ/mol) which serves as intermediate during dissociation of 1 Á and its isomerization to 2 Á .
