Ring-whizzing was investigated by hybrid DFT methods in a number of polyene-Pt(diphosphinylethane) complexes. The polyenes included cyclopropenium(+), cyclobutadiene, cyclopentadienyl(+), hexafluorobenzene, cycloheptatrienyl(+), cyclooctatetraene, octafluorooctatetraene, 6-radialene, pentalene, phenalenium(+), naphthalene and octafluoronaphthalene. The HOMO of a d(10) ML2 group (with b2 symmetry) interacting with the LUMO of the polyene was used as a model to explain the occurrence of minima and maxima on the potential energy surface.
