Cyclic tetraaryl[5]cumulenes (1 a-f) have been synthesized and studied as a function of increasing ring strain. The magnitude of ring strain is approximated by the extent of bending of the cumulenic core as assessed by a combination of X-ray crystallographic analysis and DFT calculations. Trends are observed in C NMR, UV-vis, and Raman spectra associated with ring strain, but the effects are small. In particular, the experimental HOMO-LUMO gap is not appreciably affected by bending of the [5]cumulene framework from ca. 174° (λ =504 nm) in 1 a to ca. 178° (λ =494 nm) in 1 f.
已合成了环状四芳基[5]轮烯(1a-f),并对其进行了研究,以了解环应变的增加情况。环应变的大小通过 X 射线晶体学分析和 DFT 计算相结合来评估轮烯核心弯曲的程度来近似。与环应变相关的 ¹³C NMR、UV-vis 和 Raman 光谱中观察到了一些趋势,但影响较小。特别是,实验 HOMO-LUMO 能隙不受[5]轮烯骨架弯曲的明显影响,从约 174°(λ=504nm)在 1a 到约 178°(λ=494nm)在 1f。
