The near ultraviolet and visible spectra of the various phenyl-, p-biphenyl methyl carbonium ions have been investigated and the polarization of the absorptions relative to the fluorescence band have been determined. An assignment of the transitions is made, using as a basis simple molecular orbital calculations and the expectations based on the structure representation. These are compared to the assignments made in earlier researches. The calculated intensities are found to agree favorably with the observed values.

Extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations have been performed on localized TiO68− units with the precise geometry of such a unit in solid rutile, anatase, and brookite TiO2 and tetragonal BaTiO3. The relative values of one-electron energy levels in these compounds are obtained in terms of a "self-consistent" charge and population calculation. Examination of the resulting energy levels and charge distributions has led to reasonable explanations of previously unexplained data on (1) the visible and near-ultraviolet absorption spectra of these compounds, (2) the low energy X-ray absorption edges of rutile, anatase, and brookite TiO2, and (3) the pressure dependence of the absorption edges of rutile TiO2 and tetragonal BaTiO3.

An ab initio HF MO theory is applied to CuX, CuX2 (X = F and Cl) and (CuCl)3 . Although the detailed sequence of energy levels depends upon the basis set used, high-lying orbital energy levels have largely halogen p-like character, whereas low-lying orbital energy levels have largely Cu 3 d-like character. This is in agreement with the chemical intuition of a highly ionic character of these compounds.

On the basis of molecular orbital calculations made in association with ultraviolet photoélectron spectroscopy (ups), it is demonstrated that the regioselectivity of the cycloadditions of pyridyl-2-isothiocyanate with 1,3-dipoles is directed by frontier orbitals. The different cycloadditions (4 + 2, 2 + 3, 2 + 2) vary with the overlap of these orbitals and this shows the importance of secondary interactions, namely the localization of the orbitals on the atoms adjacent to the bonds that are formed during the addition.

Moller-Plesset molecular orbital calculations at the 6-31+G(d) level have been completed on substituted dimethyl sulfide-derived carbanions. The results are applied to the prediction of regiochemistry for chlorination of unsymmetrical sulfides. Notwithstanding the need for future improvements, regiochemical predictions based on stabilities of sulfur-substituted carbanions match experimental results better than earlier predictions based on stabilities of sulfur-substituted carbonium ions or sulfur-substituted free radicals. The present results suggest that the mechanism for the elimination step in the Pummerer rearrangement of a chlorosulfonium cation is an E 1cb-like process.

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations are reported for the series of carbonium ions (CH3)+, (FCH2)+, and (F2CH)+ and for their neutral molecule counterparts CH4, CH3F, and CH2F2. The energies and wavefunctions for the carbonium ions have been calculated both with and without including the carbon 2pπ orbital in the minimal basis set in order to unravel the inductive destabilization and resonance stabilization due to fluorine substitution. The increase in bonding energy with multiple fluorine substitution is less than linear, due primarily to nonadditivity in the dative carbon–fluorine π bonding. The "saturation" effect noted previously for the hydride abstraction reaction enthalpies is shown to be due primarily to stability effects in the neutral molecules themselves rather than to energetic effects of the carbonium ions.
