FAR-INFRARED SPECTRUM AND RING-PUCKERING OF 3-CYCLOPENTEN-1-ONE Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The far-infrared spectrum of 3-cyclopenten-1-one in the vapor phase has been recorded and a broad absorption with a series of several Q branches was observed in the 80-120 cm-1 region. This series of transition frequencies resulting from the ring-puckering vibration was fitted by the single minimum potential function V = 11.31 (Z4 + 12.56 Z2) cm-1, which is characteristic of a planar ring structure. The origin of the potential function for this molecule and related molecules is discussed. 1994.
