The relative stability of the 3A2, A,, and 'A, states of phenylnitrene is evaluated by means of ab initio calculations followed by difference-dedicated configuration interaction (DDCI). This approach is based on effective Hamiltonian theory at a low order of perturbation to select rationally the det

✦ Synopsis
MRCI and CASP'I2 calculations from a (4, 4) MCSCF active space predict both vinylnitrene and vinylphosphinidene to have 3~, ground states. For vinylnitrene, the lowest open-shell singlet (1K') and closed-shell singlet 0A') states lie 15 and 40 kcal/mol higher in energy, respectively. The corresponding relative singlet energies in vinylphosphinidene are 17 and 23 kcal/mol, respectively. The reduced separation between the singlet states in H2C=CHP compared to H2C=CHN is attributed to decreased conjugation between the double bond and the pnictogen atom in the phosphinidene.
