Ba. Hess et L. Smentek, On the relative stabilities of singlet and triplet oxyallyl and cyclopropanone: A density functional study, EUR J ORG C, (12), 1999, pp. 3363-3367
Density functional calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) have been carried out for cy
clopropanone and the singlet and triplet electronic states of oxyallyl, as
well as for several bicyclic systems that incorporate the cyclopropanone ri
ng. The results of these calculations, when compared to those obtained with
more sophisticated multi-determinant calculations performed previously, ag
ree both qualitatively and quantitatively.
