Re: quoting the list

 I just submitted and had accepted a paper to the Journal of Organic Chemistry
 on our work involving aromatic nitrenium ions (it is scheduled to appear
 in issue #1, 1992).  If you recall, I posted some questions to the net
 about Jahn-Teller distortion because we were seeing something we thought
 was JT distortion in our triplet state systems.  The ensuing discussion
 led to our redefining the problem as one of Hartree-Fock doublet instability,
 and doing appropriate calculations to try to eliminate this problem.
 In the paper, we referenced the net in a footnote as follows:
 "For a general discussion of this instability problem, see:  Chambaud, G.;
 Levy, B.; Millic, P. Theor. Chim. Acta 1978, 48, 103.  We thank the many
 readers of the OSC Chemistry mail exploder for their input and suggestions
 relating to this problem."
 BTW, the complete set of mail on this topic is archived at ftp.utoledo.edu
 in the [.chemistry] directory, and is available via anonymous ftp.
