| Abstract: | Twisted conformations of ethylene molecule have diradical character and the second hyperpolarizability of these conformations is best described by the multiconfigurational self consistence field theory (MCSCF) wave function. Present calculation indicates that unrestricted density functional theory (UDFT) predicts second hyperpolarizability which is qualitatively correct for the intermediate diradical region. However, for the two extremities, i.e. rear diradical region and near diradical region, the second hyperpolarizability obtained by UDFT methods differ significantly from the MRCISD result. The BHHLYP and LC-BLYP () results of are found to be in good agreement with the MRCISD result. Using the spin-projected UDFT methods almost similar results are obtained. The reasonably fair agreement between the calculated results of second hyperpolarizability obtained at the MRCISD and CASSCF(4,4) levels demonstrates that static electron correlation is the dominant feature of twisted ethylene. Twisted conformations of ethylene molecule possess diradical character. The LUNO occupation numbers obtained at UDFT levels are well descriptor of the diradical character. Excepting for the two extremities, i.e., rear and near diradical regions, the UBHHLYP and LC-UBLYP () results of the longitudinal component of second hyperpolarizability showed a fair agreement with the MRCISD results.
