43. A comparison of our calculated UB3-LYP/6-31G(d) natural bond orbital (NBO) charges for the reactant and transition structure of, for example, reaction A6 supports this picture of a polarized transition structure. We find that the oxygen holding the unpaired electron in the reactant has a charge of -0.3, which becomes more negative (-0.6) in the transition structure. In addition, the carbon atom that holds the unpaired electron after the bond breaks has a charge of +0.2 in the reactant, which changes to +0.7 in the transition structure.
