The geometrical distortion to make the two states degenerated in allyl radical would be a rotation of the two CH2 end groups: by such a rotation, the resonance structures are destabilized (pi bonds break), and the a-c coupling is re-inforced (sigma bond forms).

Valence Bond State correlation diagrams

Exercise 1 : Computation of state correlation Diagrams for a 3 centers / 4 electrons system

In this exercise the <math>\textrm{S}_{\textrm{N}}2</math> reaction Cl<math>{}^{-}</math> + CH<math>{}_3</math>Cl -> ClCH<math>{}_3</math> + Cl<math>{}^{-}</math> will be studied in both vacuum and solution. Valence Bond State Correlation Diagrams (VBSCD) will be constructed at <math>\pi</math>-D-BOVB level. There are two parts in this exercise: basic part and optional part. The basic part is performed with MCP-DZP basis set in which the inner orbitals in Cl and C are described with MCP pseudo potential. The optional part is performed with 6-31+G* basis set, using the general specification for the xmvb input (expert users). Only reactant and transition state will be computed in this exercise, which is sufficient to build the VBSCD diagrams.
