Abstract

Abstract The rearrangement of the cubane radical cation (1.+) was examined both experimentally (anodic as well as (photo) chemical oxidation of cubane 1 in acetonitrile) and computationally at coupled cluster, DFT, and MP2 [BCCD (T)/cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-31G*+ ZPVE as well as BCCD (T)/cc-pVDZ//MP2/6-31G*+ ZPVE] levels of theory. The interconversion of the twelve C 2v degenerate structures of 1.+ is associated with a ...
