The potential energy surface for the addition of the hydride ion to hydrogen isocynide reported previously was re-examined. An improved energy surface was explored at the MP2/6-31 + + G** level while relative energies were estimated at the MP4SDTQ/6-311 + + G** level and corrected for zero-point vibrational contributions. The calculated results show the existence of transition structures for both cis and trans-additions of H- to the carbon end of HN≡C even though the corresponding barrier heights are small. These transition structures did not exist at a lower level of theory (HF/4-31G) employed previously.The cis addition is calculated to be favoured over the trans addition by 10 kcal mol-1. The overall addition is thus strongly stereoselective, if not purely stereospecific. This result confirms our previous analysis of the stereoelectronic effect in the addition-elimination process involving imidoyl anions as intermediates. Recent experimental work on the addition of OH- to ArN≡C is discussed.
