Get started for freeOne of the following compounds is much more stable than the other two. Classify each as aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic
(a)Methyl heptalene
(b) Methyl azulene
(c) Methyl pentalene
Repeat Problem 16-10 for the cyclopentadienyl ions.
(a) Draw one all-bonding MO, then a pair of degenerate MOs, and then a final pair of degenerate MOs.
(b)Draw the energy diagram, fill in the electrons, and confirm the electronic configurations of the cyclopentadienyl cation and anion.
(c) Add electrons to your energy diagram to show the configuration of the cyclopentadienyl cation and the cyclopentadienyl anion. Which is aromatic and which is antiaromatic?
Does the MO energy diagram of cyclooctatetraene appear to be a particularly stable or unstable configuration? Explain
The following hydrocarbon has an unusually large dipole moment. Explain how a large dipole moment might arise.
Make a model of cyclooctatetraene in the tub conformation. Draw this conformation, and estimate the angle between the p orbitals of adjacent pi bonds
