Abstract

The structural stability and internal rotation in 3- cylopropenecarboxaldehyde were investigated by ab initio calculations with 6- 311+ +G** basis set. The calculations were carried out at the restricted Hartree-Fock (HF) and the Density Functional B3LYP levels. The vibrational frequencies were computed at HF and DFT-B3LYP levels. Normal coordinate calculations were carried out and potential energy distributions were calculated for the cis and the trans conformers of the molecule. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
