✦ Synopsis


The BEBO method has been extended to the calculation of the activation energy of the trimethylene biradical isomerization. The energy of the three-membered cyclic activated complex comprises three contributions, i.e. the energy change in formation of the transition state, the deformation energy, and the triplet repulsion energy -the dominant component of the potential barrier. The agreement between the calculated and the experimental activation energy is excellent.
