Abstract
Transition state structures for the neutral, cationic and anionic vinylidene-acetylene rearrangement are calculated by ab initio methods. While the barriers for the neutral and cationic H-shift are found to be low or even zero involving a planar structure, rearrangement of the vinylidene anion proceeds with high activation energy possibly via a perpendicular transition state.
