Abstract

There is currently much interest in establishing the mechanisms and potential surfaces involved in the geometric and structural isomerizations of small cyclic compounds such as cyclopropane. We report here the results of ab initio calculations on several configurations of trimethylene (open cyclopropane) using the generalized valence bond (GVB) method.
