Abstract
Ab initio calculations on the acetone n-radical cation conformational preference and torsional barrier were carried out. The calculations were performed using a series of People Gaussian basis sets ranging from 6-31G(d,p) to 6-311 ++ G(3df, 2p). Overall, though-provoking results on both the conformer preference and on the hindering potential for methyl group rotation in cations were obtained.
