Abstract
The syn-CH 3 CHO-BF 3 complex is only 1.22 kcal mol -1 less stable than the corresponding anti-CH 3 CHO-BF 3 complex at the MP2/6-31G* level of theory. The corresponding difference in syn- and anti-PhCHO-BF 3 complexes is 5.31 kcal mol -1 . The calculated C-C=O (129 o ) and C-O-B (156 o ) angles for syn-PhCHO-BF 3 complexes have a much greater deviation from the standard geometries of a sp2 orbital than that (123.9 o and 125.4 o ) calculated for syn-CH 3 CHO-BF 3 complexes
