Abstract

Results obtained in studying the structure of olefin and diene molecules, and complexes of these, in the ground and lower excited states by RHF, ROHF, GVB/DN, and 6-31G* quantum-chemical methods are presented. Attention is paid to the identity of the main structural and electronic parameters of triplet T 1 and singlet S 1 states forming a reactive fourfold spin-degenerate diradical equilibrium excited state (S·T)1 having the lowest energy. A new mechanism of cyclodimerization of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene and anionic polymerization of dienes, involving the (S·T)1 states, is suggested.
