Popis: Six different ethylene-cyclobutane reaction pathways were studied by the CNDO/2/CI method with full geometry optimization. It was established that the geometries of the various intermediates and transition states stand well the comparison with the results of theab initio calculations. A new procedure is suggested for finding the saddle points on the reaction hypersurface. A new cis intermediate was found with no direct transition into the cyclobutane molecule.
