[reaction: see text] Both DFT and CCSD and CCSD(T) computational methods indicate that 1-fluorocyclopropene can undergo an unprecedented "electrocyclic" automerization process involving a full 180 degrees rotation of its methylene group, without the formation of an intermediate carbene or diradical.

In 1 M triflic acid/dichloroethane, anthracene is protonated at C9, and the resulting 9-anthracenium ion is easily observed by NMR at ambient temperature. When heated as a dilute solution in triflic acid/dichloroethane, anthracene undergoes conversion to phenanthrene as the major volatile product. Minor dihydro and tetrahydro products are also observed.

We introduce new nonvariational orbital optimization schemes for the antisymmetric product of one-reference orbital geminal (AP1roG) wave function (also known as pair-coupled cluster doubles) that are extensions to our recently proposed projected seniority-two (PS2-AP1roG) orbital optimization method [ J.

The π bond shifting (automerization) by carbon tunneling of cyclopropenyl anions was computationally analyzed by the small curvature tunneling methodology. Similar to other antiaromatic cases, the process is hindered by substituents departing from planarity, since these groups must be realigned along with the π bond shifting. With hydrogens as substituents the tunneling is extremely fast, in a case of both heavy and light atom tunneling.

Density functional and coupled cluster calculations on neutral monodehydro[12]annulenes (C(12)H(10)) reveal a global minimum that should be kinetically stable. At the CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ//BHLYP/6-31G* level, the unsymmetrical CTCTC conformer 1a lies at least 3 kcal/mol below all other isomers studied. The two isomers closest in energy to 1a are Möbius structure 5a (CCTCC) and all-cis 6a.
