Microwave Spectra of cis-1,3,5- Hexatriene and Its 13 C Isotopomers; An r s Substitution Structure for the Carbon Backbone Richard D. Suenram, Brooks H. Pate, Alberto Lessari, Justin L.

GOAL: determine the semi-experimental equilibrium (r e ) structure of cis-1,3,5-hexatriene. This structure will test the expectation that p- electron delocalization increases with chain length in conjugated polyenes. Thus, the lengthening of the “C=C” bonds and the shortening of the “C–C” bonds should be greater in hexatriene than in butadiene. RESULT: Although cis-hexatriene has a small dipole moment, the microwave spectra of the normal species and the 13 C isotopomers in natural abundance have been recorded, and a provisional r s /r e structure for the C 6 backbone has been determined. The overall goal of this investigation is determining the semi-experimental equilibrium (re) structure of cis-1,3,5-hexatriene. This structure will test the expectation that -electron delocalization increases with chain length in conjugated polyenes. Thus, the lengthening of the “C=C” bonds and the shortening of the “C–C” bonds should be greater in hexatriene than in butadiene. Although cis-hexatriene has a small dipole moment, the microwave spectra of the normal species and the 13C isotopomers in natural abundance have been recorded, and a provisional rs substitution structure for the C6 backbone has been fitted.The overall goal of this investigation is determining the semi-experimental equilibrium (re) structure of cis-1,3,5-hexatriene.

Preliminaries

Synthesis

Initial scans were recorded on the new broadband ( GHz) chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer with jet-beam-cooled sampling in the Brooks Pate Laboratory. The MW excitation pulse is a linear sweep, chirped-pulse of 1  s. The FID is acquired for 20  s. At a rep rate of 3.5 Hz, 10,000 scans were accumulated in 45 min. Subsequent spectroscopy, including all the work on the 13 C species, was done with a mini Balle-Flygare- type FT cavity instrument with jet-beam-cooled sample introduction. Instrumentation

Rotational Constants Inertial defect of uÅ 2 implies a planar structure

r s /r e Structure Vibration-rotation constants (alphas) were computed with the B3LYP/cc-pVTZ (UFG) model. Equilibrium rotational constants were determined from alpha sums and ground state rotational constants. Inertial defects were reduced to ~0.04 uÅ 2 for the equilibrium rotational constants. Geometric parameters for the C 6 backbone came from an r s treatment.

r s /r e Structure for the C 6 Backbone

Conclusions MW spectra have been observed for cis-1,3,5- hexatriene (0.05 D dipole) and its three 13 C isotopomers in natural abundance. The ground state inertial defect demonstrates that hexatriene is planar. An r s /r e structure for the C 6 backbone shows evidence of greater pi-electron delocalization than in butadiene. Deuterium isotopomers must be synthesized for use in determining a complete semi-experimental r e structure. Work toward the semi-experimental r e structure of the trans isomer is also underway.
