Ab initio molecular orbital theory is employed to calculate the barrier to internal rotation in six conjugated ethylenes and the six analogous substituted benzenes. To correctly describe the loss of partial double bond character upon rotation, the inclusion of electron correlation is shown to be necessary. Such calculations are performed on all molecules with second-order MOller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the 6-311G ** basis set, at geometries optimized by Hartree-Fock calculations at the 6-31G ** level
