Abstract

The SOC between the single and triplet states of cyclobutadiene, cyclopentadienyl cation, and cyclopropenyl anion was studied as a function of certain molecular distortions. Based on the SOC and the distortion energy, it was concluded that the order of the transition probability should lie in the order cyclopropenyl anion>cyclobutadiene>cyclopentadienyl cation.
