Some ab-initio valence-bond wave-functions are reported for the π-electrons of the ground-states of O3, NO2−, and CH2N2. Examination of these wave-functions provides further support for the hypothesis that, for the ground-states of many electron-excess molecules, important valence-bond structures are those that are compatible with the electroneutrality principle, i.e. they carry either small or zero formal charges on each of the atoms. For O3 and CH2N2, the important valence-bond structures with zero atomic formal charges are [Formula: see text]Each of these structures has a 'long-bond' between non-adjacent atoms. The significance of 'long-bond' (or spin-paired diradical) structures for the electronic mechanism of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions is discussed and 'increased-valence' descriptions of the electronic structure of each molecule are presented. Some comments on the utility of 'increased-valence' structures are provided.

AbstractSpangler and He [1,2] have shown that dithienyl polyenes form extremely stable bipolaronic dications when oxidatively doped in solution. Previous theoretical studies applied empirical methods to predict bipolaronic enhancement of hyperpolarizabilities for simple polyenes [3,4]. Here, we employ density functional theory to optimize the gas-phase molecular conformations of neutral, cationic, and dicationic forms of a series of dithienyl polyenes, where the number of ethene units, N, is varied from 1–5. Ab initio Hartree-Fock, generalized valence bond, configuration interaction, and Møller-Plesset calculations demonstrate that the dications are farily well described with a closed shell and therefore have little biradicaloid character. Second hyperpolarizabilities, γ, are subsequently calculated using ab initio Hartree-Fock theory and a finite field methodology. As expected, γ increases with the number of ethene units for a given molecular charge. The cations also show the largest increase in γ with N. For a given value of N, the cations display the largest γ values. However, if we treat the dication as a triplet, which might be present in solution, then it displays the largest γ.
