Abstract:
The spectrum of cyclopropane has been investigated from 600A to 2200A with high dispersion. Three very broad electronic transitions with apparent maxima at 1594, 1449, and 1202A were found. A strong continuous absorption begins at 1123A, and no resolved transitions could be observed at shorter wavelengths. A very weak band system consisting of twelve bands was found between 1889 and 1816A. It is concluded that the electronic transitions arise from excitation of an electron from a bonding molecular orbital localized principally in the carbon ring. The weak transition is interpreted as a forbidden transition. A tentative analysis of the bands in this transition is given. A note on the absorption spectrum of methyl cyclopropane is included.
