Abstraction of an allylic hydrogen atom in homobenzvalene (4) either in solurion by photolyticaßy generated tert-butoxyl radicals or in an adamantane matrix by X-rays produces the homobcnzvalenyl radical (5). which tbennally rearranps · to tbe tropylium ndical (1). In solution tbe activation cnergy for the rate determined step of the reaction sequence was detennined· to be 13.4 ± O.S kcal/mol.
The transient yellow color observed in the cycloaddition of homobenzvalene (HB) with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) is associated with the charge-transfer complex [HB, TCNE). The deliberate photoexcitation of [HB,TCNE) affords a mixture of charge-transfer cycloadducts (1, 2, and 3) that differs from that obtained in thermal cycloaddition. The relationship of {HB t TCNE•) radical-ion pair (as the critical reactive intermediate in charge-transfer cycloaddition) to the activation process for thermal cycloaddition is discussed.
The He (I) photoelectron spectra of 2-bicyclo[2.1.l]hexene (1), 2,3-bis(methylene)bicyclo[2.1.l]hexane (3), and 3,4-bis(methylene)tricyclo[3.l.O.0\(^{2.6}\)]hexane (4) have been investigated. The assignment given is based on a ZDO model and semiempirical calculations. Tagether with the PE data of benzvalene (2), the reported data allow a comparison between 1-2 and 3-4. This yields a measure of the interactions between 8 cyclobutane or 8 bicyclobutane moiety and a double bond system within a ZDO model. The resonance integral found in the case of 1 and 3 amounts to -1.9 eV, that for 2 and 4, to -2.3 eV. The investigations furthermore reveal that the electronic factors which contribute to the higher reactivity of the bicyclobutane compounds amount to 5 kcal/mol.
