The differing tendencies of singlet and triplet species toward insertion and abstraction are investigated in an SCF calculation of the potential energy surfaces for the model system of 0 (3,))+ 2 ('1+) to yield eitherHiOLAO on insertion or(2)+ H (2S) on abstraction. The differences in chemistry of 0 (3P) and 0 (‘D) are related to a polarization of the electronic spins in the substrate bond induced by the approach of the triplet oxygen. Investigation of the spatial distribution of the unpaired spins during the course of the reaction reveals two principal mechanisms of spin polarization, an unpairing mechanism corresponding to the localization of charge density with identical spin components on both centers of the substrate bond to yield an unstable triplet insertion product and an
