✦ Synopsis


The energy decomposition analysis of Morokuma and Kitaura-Morokuma is used to clucidatc the origin of the rotational barrier. The barrier of ethane, defined as the difference between the methyl radical-methyl radical interaction energy in a staggered and an eclipsed conformation, is found to be dominated by the evchanpe interaction, in particular, the orthogonal&y requirement term. Similar results are obtained for methyl amine and methyl alcohol. The results and conclusions of the present method are compared with those of previous workers.
