Industrially, it is produced from either coal or petroleum. It is produced naturally in volcanoes andįorest fires, and is also a component of cigarette smoke. May result whenever carbon-rich materials undergo incompleteĬombustion. The derivative tetrahydrofuran (THF) is very widely used as a solvent and reagent. Pyridine- is the most commonly encountered heterocycle, due to its aromaticityįuran- is not stable, due to its electronic configuration it is not aromatic. Heterocycles - Carbons in the ring are replaced with something else.
Many important chemicals are essentially benzene, with one or more of the hydrogen atoms replaced with some other functionality, eg:
With most diagrams of molecular structures, the Hydrogen Molecule may be depicted as a circle inside a hexagon Reflect the delocalised nature of the bonding, the benzene Property of aromatic chemicals which differentiates The resultingĭelocalisation of electrons is known as aromaticity,Īnd gives benzene great stability. There are not enough to form double bonds on all theĬarbon atoms, but the "extra" electrons do strengthenĪll of the bonds on the ring equally. Means that instead of being tied to one atom of carbon,Įach electron is shared by all six in the ring. With each other freely, and become delocalised. Shows the positions of these p-orbitals in the benzeneīeing out of the plane of the atoms, these orbitals can interact The À-bonds are formed from atomic p-orbitalsĪbove and below the plane of ring. Second bond has electrons orbiting in paths above andīelow the plane of the ring at each bonded carbon atom. Of a sigma bond and another, À (pi) bond. With electrons in line between the carbon atoms - this Must be explained using a higher level of theory than Is called a resonance hybrid of the benzene Molecule exists as a superposition of the forms below, Representation is that the structure of the benzene Picture this, we must consider the position of electrons In benzene is greater than a double bond, but shorter In addition, theīond length (the distance between the two bonded atoms) In the molecule, there must be alternating double carbonĪll of the carbon-carbon bonds in the benzene moleculeĪre of the same length, and it is known that a singleīond is longer than a double bond. Presents a problem, as to account for all the bonds He had not actually proved this structure to be correct. That Kekulé's understanding of the tetravalent natureĬarbon bonding depended on the previous research ofĪrchibald Scott Couper (1831-1892) further, the GermanĬhemist Josef Loschmidt (1821-1895) had earlier positedĪ cyclic structure for benzene as early as 1862, although His claims were well publicized and accepted, by theĮarly 1920s Kekulé's biographer came to the conclusion Upon waking was inspired to deduce the ring Structure came to him in a dream of a snake eating its Of benzene after years of studying carbon bonding,īenzene and related molecules, the solution to the benzene Usually forms four single bonds and hydrogen one).Ĭhemist Kekulé was the first to deduce the ring structure Structure could take account of all the bonds (carbon A spectrum is divided into colors: blue, green, yellow, and red.A mystery for some time after its discovery, as no proposed Since this is an absorption technique the observer will precieve the complementary color that has not been absorbed. Compounds used in the laboratories Compound Solvents used in UV-Vis spectroscopy (near UV) SolventĬ. Π* transition corresponds to the excitation of an electron from one of the unshared pair to theġ. The " n" electrons (or the nonbonding electrons) are the ones located on the oxygen of the carbonyl group of tetraphenyclopentadienone. The UV-vis spectrum of tetraphenyclopentadienone is given below and should be similar to the one you obtained from lab. UV-Vis analysis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Π to π* and n to π* transitions occur in the UV-vis region are observed. The σ to σ* transition requires an absorption of a photon with a wavelength which does not fall in the UV-vis range (see table 2 below). The following electronic transitions are possible:Īnd are shown in the below hypothetical energy diagram The ultraviolet region falls in the range between 190-380 nm, the visible region fall between 380-750 nm. Ultraviolet and visible radiation interacts with matter which causes electronic transitions (promotion of electrons from the ground state to a high energy state).
