The diradical benzyne isomers are excellent prototypes for evaluating the ability of an electronic structure method to describe static and dynamic correlation. The benzyne isomers are also interesting molecules with which to study the fundamentals of through-space and through-bond diradical coupling that is important in so many electronic device applications. In the current study, we utilize the multireference methods MC-SCF, MR-CISD, MR-CISD+Q, and MR-AQCC with an (8,8) complete active space that includes the σ, σ*, π and π* orbitals, to characterize the electronic structure of ortho-, meta- and para-benzyne. We also determine the adiabatic and vertical singlet-triplet splittings for these isomers. MR-AQCC and MR-CISD+Q produced energy gaps in good agreement with previously obtained experimental values. Geometries, orbital energies and unpaired electron densities show significant through-space coupling in the o- and m-benzynes, while p-benzyne shows through-bond coupling, explaining the dramatically different singlet-triplet gaps between the three isomers.
