  2. Heats of Hydrogenation To give cyclohexane (kJ/mol): Heat of hydrogenation of benzene is 152 kJ/mol, less than 3 times heat of hydrogenation of cyclohexene. 120 231 208

  4. Structure of Cyclooctatetraene Cyclooctatetraene is not planar; has alternating long (146 pm)and short (133 pm) bonds.

  7. Stability of Cyclobutadiene Cyclobutadiene is observed to be highly reactive, and too unstable to be isolated and stored in thecustomary way. Not only is cyclobutadiene not aromatic, it is antiaromatic. An antiaromatic substance is one that is destabilizedby cyclic conjugation.

  8. notaromatic notaromatic aromatic Antiaromatic when square. Antiaromatic when planar. Requirements for Aromaticity Cyclic conjugation is necessary, but not sufficient.

  9. Conclusion There must be some factor in additionto cyclic conjugation that determines whether or not a molecule is aromatic.

  10. 11.20Hückel's Rule: The additional factor that influences aromaticity is the number of  electrons.

  11. Hückel's Rule Among planar, monocyclic, completely conjugated polyenes, only those with 4n + 2  electrons possess special stability (are aromatic). n 4n+2 0 2 1 6 Benzene! 2 10 3 14 4 18

  12. Hückel's Rule Hückel restricted his analysis to planar,completely conjugated, monocyclic polyenes. He found that the  molecular orbitals ofthese compounds had a distinctive pattern. One  orbital was lowest in energy, another was highest in energy, and the others were arranged in pairs between the highestand the lowest.

  13. Hückel's Rule Frost's circle is a mnemonic that allows us to draw a diagram showing the relative energies ofthe p orbitals of a cyclic conjugated system. 1) Draw a circle. 2) Inscribe a regular polygon inside the circle so that one of its corners is at the bottom. 3) Every point where a corner of the polygon touches the circle corresponds to a p electron energy level. 4) The middle of the circle separates bonding and antibonding orbitals.

  15. -MOs of Benzene Antibonding 6 p orbitals give 6  orbitals. 3 orbitals are bonding; 3 are antibonding. Benzene Bonding

  16. -MOs of Benzene Antibonding 6  electrons fill all of the bonding orbitals. All  antibonding orbitals are empty. Benzene Bonding

  17. -MOs of Cyclobutadiene(Square Planar) Antibonding 4 p orbitals give 4 orbitals. 1 orbital is bonding, one is antibonding, and 2 are nonbonding. Cyclo-butadiene Bonding

  18. -MOs of Cyclobutadiene(Square Planar) Antibonding 4  electrons; bonding orbital is filled; other 2 electrons singly occupy two nonbonding orbitals. Cyclo-butadiene Bonding

  19. -MOs of Cyclooctatetraene(Planar) Antibonding 8 p orbitals give 8  orbitals. 3 orbitals are bonding, 3 are antibonding, and 2 are nonbonding. Cyclo-octatetraene Bonding

  24. Annulenes Annulenes are planar, monocyclic, completely conjugated polyenes. That is, they are the kind of hydrocarbons treated by Hückel's rule.

  25. [10]Annulene Predicted to be aromatic by Hückel's rule,but too much angle strain when planar and all double bonds are cis. 10-sided regular polygon has angles of 144°.
