摘要
The lowest doublet electronic state of the cyclopentadienyl radical (CPDR) and the lowest singlet state of the cyclopentadienyl cation (CPDC) are distorted from the highly symmetric D-sh structure due to the Jahn-Teller effect. A valence bond analysis based on the phase-change rule of Longuet-Higgins reveals that in both cases the distortion is due to the first-order Jahn-Teller effect. It is shown that, while for the radical an isolated Jahn-Teller degeneracy is expected, in the case of the cation the main Jahn-Teller degeneracy is accompanied by five satellite degeneracies. The method offers a chemically oriented way for identifying the distortive coordinates.
