Abstract
A full optimization of the geometry of 3-monosubstituted diaziridines with a range of substituents was made within the scope of the nonempirical form of the Hartree-Fock method using the 3-21G basis set. It was shown that the main factors affecting the destabilization of the 1,2-cis conformers are the interaction of the nN orbitals and the steric repulsion of the hydrogen atoms.
