Relative energies of the ground and core hole states of the 1-propyl and 2-norbornyl carbocations
Abstract
Non-empirical LCAO MO SCF calculations on the ground state and localized C1s hole states of 1-propyl and 2-norbornyl carbocations have been carried out at the STO·4·31G level employing optimised geometries; the energetic preferences of the core ionized species are found to magnify energy differences which are small for the ground-state system.
