Three distortion modes, trans and cis bending and twisting, of ethylene, disilene, and digermene and their anions are discussed in terms of a generalized pi-sigma* orbital mixing model using PMO theory. The model predicts that trans- and cis-bent geometries of neutral dimetallenes may be stabilized from the planar geometry but with very small energy gains and that these geometries should be largely stabilized with significant bend angles and stabilization energies in dimetallene anions. Twisting around the double bonds of dimetallenes may lower the energy of the anions. The above prediction is verified by the potential energy surface calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level.
