Abstract

Some revisions in the assignment of fundamentals in the vibrational spectrum of cyclopentadiene are proposed. The suggested assignments are consistent with the results of a normal coordinate analysis of the mol. and permit interpretation of the cyclopentadiene spectrum in the 4000 cm-1 to 10,000 cm-1 region. The force consts. compare favorably with the mol. model. Numerical values of the torsional force consts. demonstrate the rigidity for twisting about single bonds in systems with delocalized p-electrons as suggested by Pauling.
