Helical versus linear Jahn-Teller distortions in allene and spiropentadiene radical cations

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner, Rubén Laplaza Solanas

The allene radical cation can be stabilized both by Jahn-Teller distortion of the bond lengths and by torsion of the end-groups. However, only the latter happens and the allene radical cation relaxes into a twisted D-2 symmetry structure with equal double- ...
