The ground state X has been observed by laser magnetic resonance (LMR) in the far and 

Some experimental information concerning orbital population in the ground state is provided by the LMR spectra The P hyperfine coupling constants (cf. p. 11) yielded a value of 86.6% for the spin density on the P atom and show that the unpaired electron orbital 2n is essentially the pure P3p7c orbital having only 0.98% s character [2], which confirms the earlier conclusions based on the ip and H hf constants [3]. 

The total molecular energy of the ground state was estimated to be Ef P=-342.648 E [4, 5] the so far best theoretical value, E = -341.42843 Eh, resulted from a recent G2 calculation using a method that treats the electron correlation by Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4) and quadratic configuration interaction (QCI) [6].

Recall that the symmetry labels e and o refer to the symmetries of the orbitals under reflection through the one Cy plane that is preserved throughout the proposed disrotatory closing. Low-energy configurations (assuming one is interested in the thermal or low-lying photochemically excited-state reactivity of this system) for the reactant molecule and their overall space and spin symmetry are as follows ... 

Symmetrical transition states are the lowest energy configuration within that symmetry. If a geometry optimization starts off within that symmetry, then the calculation can find the transition state. 

In many cases, it is also helpful to have the path repel itself so that the transition pathway is self-avoiding. An acmal dynamic trajectory may oscillate about a minimum energy configuration prior to an activated transition. In the computed restrained, selfavoiding path, there will be no clusters of intermediates isolated in potential energy minima and no loops or redundant segments. The self-avoidance restraint reduces the wasted effort in the search for a characteristic reaction pathway. The constraints and restraints are essential components of the computational protocol. 

When using these theoretical results to analyze onion-like particles, we must take into account that calculations are performed for single graphitic shells, which are subsequently arranged concentrically and, then, conclusions are obtained about the minimal energy configuration. This fact arises from the limited number of atoms that may be included in a calculation due to present computational capabilities (the smallest onion-like particles are formed by in a C240 and this system represents 300 atoms). 

One of the main scientific issues of the discovery of the bucky-onions is the unresolved question of minimal energy configuration of carbon clusters (onion-... 

Just as the single determinant MO wave function may be improved by including excited determinants, the simple VB-HL function may also be improved by adding terms which correspond to higher energy configurations for the fragments, in this case ionic structures. 

As illustrated in the energy profile (Fig. 2), the substitution proceeds through the first transition state (T.S. ) to the intermediate complex and then by way of a second transition state goes on to form the product. The transition state is the highest free-energy configuration... 

A transition state is an unstable, high-energy configuration assumed by reactants in a chemical reaction on the way to making products. Enzymes can lower the activation energy required for a reaction by binding and stabilizing the transition state of the substrate. 

This CFX leads to problems. After the surface is covered with CFx,it is no longer wet by the electrolyte and the low-energy configuration shows the formation of lenticular (lens-shaped) bubbles as shown in Fig. 7. These bubbles cover perhaps 95% of the surface10 and greatly reduce anode contact with the electrolyte. 

In Equation 1, t is a thermal vibration frequency, U and P are, respectively activation energy and volume whereas c is a local stress. The physical significance and values for these parameters are discussed in Reference 1. Processes (a)-(c) are performed with the help of a Monte-Carlo procedure which, at regular short time intervals, also relaxes the entanglement network to its minimum energy configuration (for more details, see Reference 1).
