Abstract

Ab initio Hartee-Fock (HF) and multiconfiguration Hartee-Fock (MCHF) calculations have been carried out to characterize the reactants, transition state, and products of the electrophilic addition of O(³P) to the π bond of ethylene. The results show that the diradical product CH ₂CH₂O is stable with respect to the reactants. The transition state has C_s symmetry, not C_2v with the oxygen atom localized on one of the two double-bond C atoms.
