The transition states for unimolecular HF elimination from a series of methylene halides and vinyl halides have been located and properly characterized at the AM 1, MNDO , PM 3, RHF /6‐311 G ( d , p ), and MP 2/6‐311 G ( d , p ) levels. Whereas the semiempirical MO methods deal well with the structures of the stable molecules, the structural differences between the ab initio and semiempirical transition states are considerably larger. The AM 1 and PM 3 activation energies appear to be relatively more accurate. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
