Abstract
The important geometrical variables in the structures of the lowest 2A′ and 2A′′ states of the free radicals HCO, CH3CO, NH2CO, HNN, and CH3NN have been determined by ab initio MO calculations using the STO-3G basis set. The energy differences between the states, and the energies of the radicals relative to their decomposition products and relative to their hydrogen atom addition products, are reported using both STO-3G and 4-31G basis sets in the restricted open-shell calculations. The trends in these results and their relation to available experimental data are discussed.
