Quantum chemical calculations and studies have been made on the different spin states of unsaturated carbenes X 2 CC: and X 2 CCC: (XH, Li, F). The geometries and relative stabilities of these carbenes with various groups X have been outlined. The ground states of unsaturated carbenes are all singlet. The energy splittings between the ground states and first excited states Δ E ( 1 A 1 ‐ 3 B 1 ) are generally within the value of 60 kcal/mol and change greatly with the electronegativities of groups X, but little with the sizes of the cumulidenes. The equilibrium conformations of 1 A 1 and 3 B 1 are different.
