Abstract
By SCF molecular orbital calculations, it has been shown that hydrogen atom scrambling for ionized benzene can occur via a simple movement of one proton to an adjacent carbon. The cyclic intermediate ion has an energy of 1.86 eV above the ionization potential of benzene, which is lower than the energy necessary for fragmentation or for ring opening.
