    No experimental da ta are available for the structure of PC. Due to the presence of the

    methyl group, the two twisted minima corresponding to the ring inversion are not anymore

    exactly equivalent, nevertheless our ab initio calculations predict a very small energy dif-

    ference of 0.04 kcal.mo1-1. The barrier height for ring inversion is equal to 1.29 kcal.mol-1

    at this level of theory.

    The potential surface of DMC presents two impor tant minima, the tran s- tr ans con-

    former with C2v symmetry (figure 1) which is the lowest energy structure and the

    trans-cis conformer with Cs symmetry, which can be obtained from the previous one

    by rotating one methyl 180° around the C1-O3 (or C2-O2) bond. We found at ab ini-

    tio MP2/6-31G* *//RHF /6-31G ** level that the trans -ci s conformer is 3.15 kcal.mol -I

    higher in energy than the trans-trans conformer, and the barrier energy height between

    both conformers is 10.33 kcal.mo1-1. All these results are gathered in tables 4- 6.
