TLDR
In this article, it was shown that if one of the antibonding σ* electrons is removed, the electronic σ/σ* configuration would be a slight repulsion of the two atoms.
Abstract
We all know that it is not possible to stabilize a He2 molecule. Any interaction of the filled He is orbitals would lead to the establishment of bonding a and antibonding σ* energy levels, both doubly occupied. As σ*, for quantum mechanical reasons, is raised a little bit more than σ is lowered relative to the original atomic energy levels the net result of this electronic σ/σ* configuration would be a slight repulsion of the two atoms. The situation becomes significantly different though if one of the antibonding σ* electrons is removed. Open image in new window

Formation of two centre three electron bond by hydroxyl radical induced reaction of thiocoumarin: evidence from experimental and theoretical studies

TL;DR: Radiation chemical studies of thioesculetin, a thioketone derivative of coumarin, were performed by both pulse radiolysis technique and DFT calculations and revealed that dimer radical has the lowest energy.

Energies, stability and structure properties of radicals derived from organic sulfides containing an acetyl group after the *OH attack: ab initio and DFT calculations vs experiment.

TL;DR: quantum mechanical calculations were performed using a density functional theory method (DFT-B3LYP) and the ab initio method (Møller-Plesset perturbation theory MP2) for optimizations and energy calculations of the parent molecules and radicals and radical cations derived from them and it was found that the alpha-positioned acetyl group in S-ethylthioacetate (SETAc) destabilizes hydroxysulfuranyl radicals and monomeric sulfur radical

Influence of Water on the Oxidation of Dimethyl Sulfide by the ·OH Radical

TL;DR: This study modeled the simplest of oxidative reactions: the attack of dimethyl sulfide by a hydroxyl radical to form a radical adduct, whose subsequent heterolytic dissociation leads to a radical cation (DMS+) that is important for further reactions.
