Computational study of 1,1-bis(dichloromethyl) 2,2,3,3-tetrachlorocyclopropane diradical

Hydrocarbons with unusual spatial structure are fascinating research objects since, in additionto aesthetically pleasing shapes they have, their syntheses are challenging and reactivitiesexciting [1]. They can also, at longer run, find some application [2]. The creative design ofligands and substituents have made it possible to increase the lifetimes of reactive moleculesor even isolate inherently high-energy molecules. The unique character of heteroatoms hasalso provided opportunities to isolate exotic compounds [3].The aim of this study is the investigation of geometry and molecular properties of octachlorospiropentane and 1,1-bis(dichloromethyl) 2,2,3,3-tetrachlorocyclopropane diradical.
