Ab initio molecular-orbital calculations at the 4-31G/CID level of approximation were performed for the CO...C4H4 complex. A local minimum for a C4H4CO distance of 1.386 Å has been found in the configuration in which the CO is perpendicular to the cyclobutadiene plane. For this configuration of the complex, the vibrational fre quencies of cyclobutadiene were calculated and the results are in qualitative agreement with the sparse experimental evidence. The importance of multiple Hartree-Fock solutions in describing the ground-state wavefunction of the complex is discussed. © 1990.
