The Calculated Electronic Spectra and Structures of Some Cyclic Conjugated Hydrocarbons1,2

Abstract: The ground-state conformations of cyclooctatetraene and tropilidene were calculated t o be nonplanar b y a combination of Pariser-Parr-type treatments of the 7-systems and Westheimer treatments of the a-systems. The barriers to inversion were calculated, and were in fair agreement with experiment. Heptalene was similarly calculated to be very close to planar. The ultraviolet spectra of these molecules were also calculated, and were in reasonable agreement with experiment.

“…The absorption in this range corresponds to the symmetry forbidden 'A1 + 'A2 electronic transition (ca. 4.4 eV) [13]. The influence of COT pressure and various additional amounts of inert gas on the photolysis was studied.…”

“…Die Gruppen von Allinger, [2] Scheraga [3] und Lifson [4] trugen maßgeblich zu deren Entwicklung bei. Die zentrale, "neue" Idee bestand in der Verwendung einer funktionalen Form, die nicht nur die Berechnung von Schwingungsfrequenzen ermçglichte, was ebenso mit der Entwicklung des Potentials um ein bekanntes oder vermutetes Minimum mçglich wäre, sondern auch die Bestimmung der molekularen Geometrie im Minimum erlaubte.…”

“…In diesen drückt man die Energie in Termen empirischer Funktionen aus, die einfach zu berechnen sind. Die Gruppen von Allinger, [2] Scheraga [3] und Lifson [4] trugen maßgeblich zu deren Entwicklung bei. Die Mçglichkeit, solche Energiefunktionen auf grçßere Systeme anzuwenden, erschien mir sehr reizvoll, aber es sollte noch einige Zeit dauern, bis ich daran arbeitete.…”
