Density functional theory calculations of multiplet splittings are presented that agree closely with experimental measurements for six carbenes and six vinylidenes. The calculations are further analyzed to gauge the relative importance of different factors influencing the stabilities of the differen

The mechanism of copper(I)-catalyzed olefin cyclopropanation with diazomethanes has been studied at the BP86/AE1 level of density-functional theory. For the model system Cu(diazabutadiene) + + ethene + diazomethane, copper carbene complexes are confirmed as viable intermediates, with rate-determinin
Hybrid density functional theory calculations on the structures, vibrational frequencies, electron binding and dissociation energies, and bonding properties of CuO - 3 and CuO 3 species have been carried out. Stable isomers containing an O 3 subunit and composed of O 2 bound to CuO have been located
