The chemiluminescent decomposition of 1,2-dioxetanone has in the past been studied by state-of-the-art multireference quantum chemical calculations, and a stepwise biradical mechanism was established.Recently, this decomposition has been reinvestigated, and a concerted mechanism has been proposed based on calculations performed at the closed-shell density functional theory (DFT) level of theory.
