Abstract

Some localized singlet 1,3-σ-diradicals, C(MH 2) 3C, (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) were theoretically designed by the orbital phase theory and density functional theory calculations. The bicyclic carbon-centered singlet diradicals were more stable than the lowest triplets. Except for M = C, σ-bonded isomers were not located for 1,3-σ-diradicals. 1,4-σ-diradicals, C(M 2H 4) 3C, also had singlet ground states, but they were less stable than σ-bonded isomers.
