Rotationally resolved electronic spectroscopy of 1,4-benzodioxan: the anomeric effect in ground and electronically excited state — •Christian Brand1, Thi Bao Chau Vu1, Leo Meerts2, and Michael Schmitt1 — 1Heinrich-Heine-Universität, Institut für Physikalische Chemie I, Düsseldorf — 2Radboud University, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Nijmegen
The electronic origin of 1,4-benzodixan and three vibrational bands have been investigated using rotationally resolved electronic spectroscopy. By comparison to ab initio calculations all observed features could be assigned to the twist-conformer. Examination of the inertial defect show that the molecule is more planar in the electronic ground state than in the electronically excited singlet state. This effect can be traced back to a competition between the anomeric effect comprising the non-bonding p-type oxygen orbital and the antibonding axial CH-bond and the π-π interaction between the oxygen lone pair and the π-orbitals of the benzene ring.
