40. -1 energy at the B3LYP/6-311G(2d) level (difference between the total energy of FCNO and the sum of the total energies of FCN and O). There is no energy barrier for the spin-allowed reaction of FCN and singlet O atom to form FCNO.
41. Investigating the properties of atoms by the Bader analysis, no bond critical points between N and O atoms and no ring critical points were found. This, and the long N-O distance of 1.910 Å, supports the formulation of FC(O)N (2) as fluorocarbonylnitrene, and not as fluorooxazirine.
