To explore the substituent effects on the stretching vibration frequencies ν C=C of C=C bridge bond in 1-furyl/thienyl-2-aryl ethylene XCH=CHArYs, 60 samples of XCH=CHArYs were synthesized, and their infrared absorption spectra were recorded. The regression analyses between the ν C=C values of XCH=CHArYs and the substituent parameters of X and Y were made in detail. Finally, an optimality equation (shown as Equation 3) quantifying the ν C=C values of XCH=CHArYs was obtained. It shows that the substituent effects on the ν C=C values of XCH=CHArYs mainly reflect in Hammett constant of X and the excited-state substituent constants of X and Y. Among the parameters in Equation (3), the excited-state substituent constant of X contributes the most to the ν C=C values of XCH=CHArYs as seen from the fraction contributions. On the whole, the contribution of X to the ν C=C values of XCH=CHArYs is larger than that of Y.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
