摘要
The molecular structure of 3,4-dimethylenehexa-1,5-diene ([4]dendralene), C8H10, has been determined in the gas phase. A single conformer with C-2 symmetry, having two almost planar, anti butadiene groups orientated with a dihedral angle C(2)C(3)C(4)C(5) of 71.7(19)degrees, is detected by electron diffraction employing flexible restraints derived from ab initio computations. Other experimental structural parameters (r alpha/pm, angle alpha/0) are: C(1)=C(2) 133.4(1), C(3)=C(7) (not in main chain) 134.0(1), C(2)-C(3) 147.4(2), C(3)-C(4) 149.6(3), C(1)C(2)C(3) 124.4(3), C(2)C(3)C(4) 119.2(5), C(4)C(3)C(7) 117.6(7), and C(7)C(3)C(2)C(1) -174.8(28). Ab initio computations at the MP2/6311G* level predict that the vapor consists of ca. 90% of the conformer found experimentally, the other 10% comprising four other conformers.
