Title: Communication: An accurate calculation of the S1 C2H2 cis-trans isomerization barrier height

Abstract

In this study, a high level ab initio calculation of the cis-trans isomerization barrier height in the first excited singlet electronic state of acetylene is found to agree very well with a recent experimental determination.
