摘要
The structure of HOCH2CH2O has been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Two conformers were found, the more stable of which possesses an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The activation energy for carbon-carbon bond fission was studied using the complete basis set approaches CBS-4 and CBS-q, and modified versions thereof. The low activation barrier of about 8 kcal/mol supports the experimental finding that dissociation is the major fate of the HOCH2CH2O radical at ambient pressure and temperature.
