Abstract
The spin selection problem revolves about the determination of the sign and magnitude of the energy difference between two different spin states \( {\Lambda _1}\;and\,{\Lambda _2} \) for a given geometry, g, and a given number of electron pairs, n. For our purposes, g can be either a Hückel AO (HAO) or Möbius AO (MAO) geometry.
