Abstract

A simple molecular orbital treatment, including overlap, has been employed to compute the electron distribution and energy eigenvalues of the dichloroethylenes. The Coulomb and exchange integrals used were those previously employed for vinyl chloride and were not subject to further adjustment in the present calculations. Comparison with available photoionization potentials, electric dipole moments, and nuclear quadrupole data shows, on the whole, a satisfactory agreement between observed and calculated properties. The results obtained are considered to provide support for the occurrence of lone-pair conjugation in the vinyl halides.
