Diels–Alder reaction of acenes with singlet and triplet oxygen – theoretical study of two-state reactivity

Abstract

An interesting change in mechanism (from concerted to biradical) is described for the reaction of acenes (benzene through pentacene) with molecular oxygen (either singlet oxygen, 1Δg-O2, or triplet oxygen, 3Σg-O2).
