58. 2c and hence we assume that those carbenes can exist in a perturbed structure on the soft energy surface. This has been shown by in situ X-ray crystallographic observation of triplet bis(2,4,6- trichlorophenyl)carbene trapped in a crystal. In this case, the observed structure of triplet carbene is different from the DFP optimized one and is corresponding to a non-global minimum on very shallow potentials. Such perturbation is ascribable to the steric effect in a crystalline lattice. See, M. Kawano, K. Hirai, H. Tomioka, and Y. Ohashi, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 123, 6904 (2001).
