Electronic States of Phenylene and Naphthylene Bicyclobutanes. Linear Dichroism in Stretched Polyethylene

Abstract: SummaryExcited singlet states of bicyclobutylene-benzene (2), 1,2 : 4,5-bis (bicyclobuty1ene)benzene (3), 2,3-bicyclobutylene-naphthalene (4), and 1,8-bicyclobutylene-naphthalene (5) are investigated by means of linear dichroic absorption spectroscopy of molecules oriented in stretched polyethylene films and by semiempirical model calculations. The results indicate a strong hyperconjugative impact of the bicyclobutylene group on the aromatic chromophores in these compounds. Valence isomerization to aromatic pr… Show more

“…On the other hand, an intense interaction of the pseudo-π-orbitals of the σ-systems with the aromatic π-system is suggested by the photoelectron spectra of 4Ϫ7 [8] and 11 [16] as well as the energies of the singlet excited states of 11. [17]…”
