Experimental determination of conjugation lengths in long polyene chains

چکیده
Since the low energy absorption spectrum of a linear polyene is dominated by the strongly allowed 1 Ag→1 Bu transition ~S0 to S2!, it can be reconstructed for any chain length if the 0–0 band excitation energy, the band profile, and intensity are known. From this premise, this paper uses information developed in high resolution experiments on well-defined linear polyenes to extract the distribution of effective conjugation lengths from absorption spectra of solutions of long linear polyenes. These distributions are found to be dominated by short conjugation lengths. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

Structural Relationship Between Randić Indices, Adjacency, Distance Matrixes and Molar Absorption Coefficient of Linear Conjugated Polyene Compounds
One of the useful indices in molecular topology is Randić index. The alternative double bonds andconjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Someof the molecular orbital and structural properties refer to this specialty, such as: molar absorptioncoefficient (εmax) , electrical conductivity and difference energy level of the HOMO and LUMOorbitals, etc....
متن کاملTopological Relationship Between One-Dimensional Box Model and Randić Indices in Linear Simple Conjugated Polyenes
The alternative double bonds and conjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Each carbon-carbon bonds in a polyene compound along the chain has appreciable double-bond character. The p-electrons are therefore not localized but are relatively free to move throughout the entire carbon skeleton as an one-dimensional box. The skeleton be considered as a r...
متن کاملCharge transport through polyene self-assembled monolayers from multiscale computer simulations.
We combine first-principles density-functional theory with matrix Green's function calculations to predict the structures and charge transport characteristics of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of four classes of systems in contact with Au(111) electrodes: conjugated polyene chains (n = 4, 8, 12, 16, and 30) thiolated at one or both ends and saturated alkane chains (n = 4, 8, 12, and 16) thiol...
متن کاملDFT studies on the structural and vibrational properties of polyenes
Detailed density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the structure and harmonic frequencies of model all-trans and all-cis polyenes were undertaken. For the first time, we report on the convergence of selected B3LYP/6-311++G** and BLYP/6-311++G** calculated structural parameters resulting from a systematic increase in polyene size (chains containing 2 to 14 C = C units). The limiting values...

We have synthesized a homologous series of soluble, linearly conjugated oligomers and related polymers using molybdenum alkylidene catalysts. We have developed HPLC procedures to isolate the oligomers according to their chain lengths and have obtained the absorption spectra of the purified oligomers in room temperature solutions and in 77 K glasses. The oligomer absorption spectra are structure...
