Abstract:
The geometry, electronic structure, and energy of several acyloxy cations (I) have been determined by ab initio self-consistent field calculations with minimum and double ζ basis sets. The optimal structures show the isomeric cyclic dioxiryl cation (II) to be the lowest energy species. Substituent effects on the decomposition energy of II yielding cations III and carbon dioxide have been examined.
