The multiple electronic state mechanisms of the reaction of carboryne with benzene were investigated by M11 calculations. Mechanisms leading to [4 + 2] cycloaddition product P 4 + 2 , [2 + 2] cycloaddition product P 2 + 2 , CC insert product P C‐Cins and CH insert product P C‐Hins were considered. The barrier/stability to structural characteristics correlations revealed that, 1) [2 + 2] addition is a two‐step mechanism which exhibits three electronic state reactivity, and both the addition steps are controlled by the barriers on open‐shell singlet (OSS) potential energy surface (PES); 2) [4 + 2] product P 4 + 2 is a kinetic product on the experimental condition, and other products should be obtained under more harsher condition. The theoretical results well explain the experimental facts.
