摘要
Ab initio calculations [3-21G((*))] on dimethyl 2.2'-bithiophene-4,4'-dicarboxylate (3), dimethyl 2,2'-bithiophene-3,4'-dicarboxylate (4) and dimethyl 2,2'-bithiophene-3,3'-dicarboxylate (5) have revealed that in 4 there is an abnormally small dihedral angle between the thiophene rings and an abnormally low barrier to rotation around the thiophene-thiophene single bond. This is due to a favorable coulombic interaction of the negative carbonyl oxygen and the positive sulfur of the adjacent ring which helps to flatten and bend the ground state and lower the rotation barrier.
