✦ Synopsis
The barrier to internnl rotatiorl in thioacetaldehyde was investigated within the PCILO and CNDO/Z framework using standard and optimized geometries. The optimized geometries give for the barrier of PCILO a value close1 to the experimenta: one (1.06 kcal mol-') whereas the CNDO/3 results yield a qualitatively wrong conformational behavior.

The internal rotational barriers in 2-fluorotoluene and 2-chlorotoluene are computed with the ab initio basis sets, 6-3 1 G and 6-3lG\*, as well as by single-point MP2//6-3 1G' calculations. For the fluoro derivative, good agreement with the barrier from rotational spectra is obtained. The computed
