Abstract

Natural orbitals of the three lowest single states of s-cis-butadiene are calculated by CNDO/S. Under the disrotatory closure of s-cis-butadiene to cyclobutene, the 2 1A1 natural orbitals are correlated differently from that described by the usual orbital diagram. The natural orbital correlations account for the main features of the potential surface.
