Computational approaches to the evaluation of the reactive scattering properties of atom- diatom reactions are revisited. The aim is to exploit both the use of nonorthogonal coordinates in reactive scattering and the restructuring of related computer codes for concurrent computing. To this end, bond length, bond-order and hyperspherical bond order coordinate formalisms are examined for the collinear case. At the same time, the evolution of parallel models from coarse to fine granularity and the development of parallelization supports from directive libraries to programming environments are discussed. The scalability of related codes is tested by measuring the performances of restructured codes. The suitability of the use of nonorthogonal coordinates for scattering purposes is tested by performing collinear calculations for the H + H2 reaction.

The microwave spectrum of the benzene isomer 3,4-dimethylenecyclobutene including spectra of all possible single 13C-substituted and sufficient singly and doubly D-substituted species to give a complete r5 geometry, have been measured and analysed. An estimate of the re geometry has also been derived. The additional precise CC bond lengths obtained for an unsubstituted, conjugated hydrocarbon enable us to examine bond order-bond length relationships more thoroughly than has previously been possible. The CC bond lengths exhibit a noticeably better correlation with SCFMO bond orders than with simple H�ckel bond orders. Further confirmatory measurements of the dipole moment of dimethylenecyclobutene have been made. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using a 6-31G basis set give an optimized geometry with CC bond lengths within 2 pm of the r5 values. The computed dipole moment agrees almost exactly with experiment but a corresponding calculation on fulvene is discrepant with experiment by 0.16 D, which is probably a more typical error.
