Description

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 CH2CH2O is stable with respect to the reactants. The transition state has C/sub s/ symmetry, not C/sub 2v/, with the oxygen atom localized on one of the two double-bond C atoms
