At high levels of ab initio theory (6-31G\*//4-31G), the most stable C4H:' isomer is indicated to be the nonplanar cyclobutadiene dication (la); the planar form, lb, is indicated to be 7.5 kcal/mol less stable. The second most stable C4Ha' isomer, the methylenecyclopropene dication, is indicated to

The successive C-H bond dissociation energies of CH,, &Hz. C2H4, and H&O (ketene) are determined using large basis sets and a high level of correlation treatment. For CHI, C2H2, and C2H4 the computed values are in excellent agreement with experiment. Using our results we recommend 107.9 +2.0 and 96.
Semi-empirical UNDO methods predict that 2 of 23 structurally distinct C6& isomers and 4 of 143 C7uH2 isomers have particularly low heats of formation. These isomers represent either 1 ,t-addition across a 6: 6-ring fusion or 1,4-addition across a ii-ring, with both hydrogens externally bound. Fully
