16. The original estimate of the equilibrium torsional angle from Ref. 15 of 23° was based in part on semiempirical AMI calculations which have recently been repeated at the ab initia 3-21G level to yield the 45° value. These calculations also result in two equivalent ground state conformations which do not interconvert over a low energy barrier along an adiabatic torsional coordinate.
