Table 1 Bond lengths of ozone at various geometries (about 33.5°), the molecule is obviously very unstable at this geometry. The energy along the seam is displayed in Fig. 8, which confirms that the C2, intersections A, E, G lie in a highly repulsive region of the PES. The repulsive character in the region of point A is also illustrated by Fig. 9, which shows a projection of the intersection seam on the PES contour map for the circumference r = 4.6 A, which is about midway on the seam. Even for this con- stant value of r, the energy difference between the two different C>, points A and C is about 80 mh. Because of the variation in r, shown in Fig. 6, the difference between points A and C in Fig. 8 is in fact about 370 mh.
