On inclusion of ZPE differences, the cyclobutonium cation is less stable than the cyclopropylcarbinyl cation by 0.1 kcal/mol, while the activation enthalpy (starting from the latter cation) is 0.62 kcal/mol. (On a 298 K enthalpy scale, the transition state falls 0.22 kcal/mol below the cyclopropylcarbinyl cation!) Thus, at this level of theory, the system must be regarded as extremely fluxional, perhaps nonclassical, in the gas phase.

41. These values are not unreasonable: they correspond to the electrostatic attraction between two point charges of 0.7 at a distance of ca. 4.3 Å which is not far from the distance of the Cl atom from the center of charge of the cationic hydrocarbon moieties in the two ion pair complexes.
