MONDO-Forces calculations have been performed, with complete optimization of geometry on X-cyclopropenyl system (cations, radicals and anions), where X is H, O", OH, CH 3 , CN, N0 2 , F and CF 3 . All substituents prefer planar structure when substituted on both cations and radicals, while they prefer pyramidal structure in the case of anions except CF 3 . The substituents O", OH and F act as electron releasing, while CHO, N0 2 and CF 3 act as electron withdrawing when substituted on cyclopropenyl system. CH 3 and CN show amphielectronic behaviour. They act as electron releasing on the cations and withdrawing on both radicals and anions depending on electron demand. In the case of cations and radicals, all substituents were found to increase the vicinal bonds and decrease the distal bonds and bond angles to which the substituent is attached. For anions the substitutents show no such regularity because the substituents are out of the three-membered ring plane. All substituents increase the stability of the cyclopropenyl system except CF 3 in the case of the cation.The cyclopropenyl cation is the smallest aromatic molecule which has two ^-electrons and satisfies the Hückel 4 n + 2 rule. The electronic structure is of great interset since the molecule is highly strained but despite of this the ion is stable in the form of salts, e. g. C 3 H 3 • SbCl^, and also in polar solvents [1]. D 3h configuration of the ion is indicated by its IR and NMR spectra [1], Allen has reported a structural analysis for two cyclopropenyl cation derivatives based upon Xray crystallographic data [2]. Clark carried out ab initio LCAO SCF MO Calculations on both C 3 H 3 + and C3H3 and discussed the aromaticitiy and antiaromaticity [3]. Ha et al. reported an ab initio LCAO SCF MO investigation on C 3 H 3 + , C 3 Hj and C 3 H 3~ and discussed the geometry and stability of these species [4j. Random et al. aiso carried out ab initio calculations on C3H3 using STO-3G and 6-31G and obtained the equilibrium structure of the ion [5]. Takada and Ohno also published an ab initio CI calculation on the electronic structure of C3H3 [6]. The most recent ab initio calculations on the molecular structure and vibrational spectrum of C3H3 were performed by Xie et al. [7], and Lee et al. [8], Cyclopropenyl free radical, the simplest member of the series of fully conjugated cyclic radicals, has been the subject of experimental [9-13] and theoretical studies [4,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20],The theoretical work by Chipman and Miller [20] predicts an ethylenic structure of C s symmetry as the lowest energy form. The hydrogen atom at the apex of the isoceles triangle is bent substantially out of the ring plane. The allylic structure, which satisfies the Jahn-Teller theorem, is predicted to be 5 kcal/mole higher in energy. Experimental work by Closs and Redwine [13] support the C s structure and rules out the allylic structure. There is no experimental information on the properties of the neutral radical, so it is necessary to resort to theoretical studies.The cyc...
