Notes:
Open (1) and cyclic (2) singlet forms of CO3 were investigated by means of ab initio calculations. At the highest level of theory employed, MP2/6-31G* (which includes the effects of electron correlation), 2 was indicated to be much more stable than 1 and thermodynamically stable toward dissociation into CO2 and O(3P). The open form 1 has a long O—O bond and can be regarded as a weak dative complex between CO2 and a singlet oxygen atom.
