Vibrational Spectra of Substituted Cyclobutane Compounds
Abstract
As a preliminary to the study of group frequencies present in substituted cyclobutanes, the complete vibrational spectra of the model compound cyclobutane-carboxylic acid have been recorded on the crystalline material. Tentative, approximate vibrational assignment has been proposed based on these spectra along with the infrared spectra of the potassium salt, cyclobutanecarboxylic acid-O-d, cyclobutane-carboxylic acid-alpha-d-O-d, cyclobutane acid-alpha-d and previous published results with other simple cyclobutane derivatives. The spectra of crystalline cyclobutanecarboxylic acid can best be interpreted in terms of a hydrogen bonded dimer structure with a center of symmetry. The infrared spectra of fourteen substituted cyclobutanes have been recorded over the range 4000 - 200/cm at both room temperature and about 110K. Six rather narrow regions of absorption have been identified.
