Abstract
Correlated, spin-unrestricted, electronic structure calculations have been performed for intermediates in the cheletropic reaction of phosphorus dioxide and hydrogen. The reaction involves a change of electronic state and has the high barrier expected for such a symmetry-forbidden, thermal process. The activation energy required by the ground state reactants is between 63 and 82 kcal/mol. However, the reaction of hydrogen with 2Πu PO2 is predicted to have no barrier.
