Abstract

Alternative structures for C2H-2 have been investigated by ab initio calculations using augmented basis sets. Results indicate both cis bent and trans bent acetylene-like HCCH- alternatives are unstable towards electron loss. The electron affinity of vinylidene, H2C=C:, is found to be positive. Hence, the resulting anion, H2C=C-, is indicated to be the observed long-lived C2H-2 species.
