Popis: The barrier to internal rotation and π-bonding in diborane peroxide are studied by ab initio calculations. The calculated potential curve for rotation about the peroxide bond is similar to related potential curves calculated for butadiene, glyoxal and diimine except for predicting only a single minimum in the trans position. The lack of another minimum is probably due to steric repulsions, and the results may be considered as demonstrating a degree of conjugation in this system.
