摘要
The geometry of the lowest energy singlet and triplet states of tetramethyleneethane have been optimized by means of the UHF, ROHF, and MCSCF methods, in order to obtain a better understanding of the importance of electron correlation for the geometries and the singlet-triplet gap. At the MCSCF(6,6)/DZP level of theory, both the singlet and triplet states are predicted to have D2 structures, with the ground state being the singlet and the triplet state lying 1.36 kcal/mol higher in energy.
