The Jahn-Teller potential energy surface of the cyclobutadiene radical cation is reinvestigated at the CCSD(T)/TZP//RMP2/6-311G(2d, p) level. It is found that out-of-plane deformations come into play as one moves away from the Dab geometry. The relaxed radical cation has two potential energy minima,
Ab initio calculations have been performed to determine the electron affinity of the ethylene glycol molecule and its dimer. Although, as determined, the glycol molecule has only a marginal ability to bind an excess electron, the three glycol H-bonded dimers, whose structures were found in the calcu
