The use of localized and delocalized orbitals in a Rydberg expanded correlation analysis of the cycloaddition of ethylene
Keyword(s):
Rydberg expanded orbital and state correlation diagrams are shown for the classical cycloaddition of ethylene. The diagrams are first developed at the localized valence MO level and the origins of the S**-bitriplet correlations are shown. When extended to the Rydberg level, the localized state correlation diagram shows that the π3s Rydberg singlet state of ethylene can interact with the ground state of another ethylene to directly yield the same S** surface as found in the valence-level-only diagram. In this manner the Rydberg state eventually derydbergizes.
