✦ Synopsis

Ab initio self-consistent field theory, second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP), coupled cluster theory including single and double excitations and with non-iterative inclusion of triple excitations calculations have been used to examine the structure, vibrational properties and bonding of the borirane radical which has a eAt electronic structure. This species is bound by about 40 kcal/mol with respect to the B+C2H4 ground states. For comparison, CCSD calculations have been performed on both the borirane molecule and the H-complexes for which the electronic structure correlates with the ethylene and boron ground states. The 2B2 H-complex is bound by about 13 kcal/mol while the 2Bt complex is weakly bound and the 2Al complex is not bound at all with respect to B+C2H4. Vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities have been calculated at different levels of theory for the borirane radical in order to help its experimental identification.

The Thouiess instability conditions of the a&l radical have been investigated at the ab initia level using minimal and extended A0 basis sets. The main source of R~F-instab~ty is found in its pi-orbital system, but there is tendency for the resulting symmetry dilemma to disappear when approaching th
