The steric hindrance postulated by Arnold and co-workers to account for anomalous reaction rates of some substituted acetophenones has been verified by means of ultraviolet light absorption data. The spectra of a number of other substituted acetophenones have been discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effects of substituents.

A method for the determination of mesomeric effects from ultraviolet light absorption data is critically discussed. For halogen-substituted compounds, the method gives an order of mesomeric effects different from that which is usually accepted for the halogens.

The spectra of a number of trisubstituted benzene derivatives which have recently been described by Doub and Vandenbelt are discussed in terms of the electronic and steric effects. The assumption of Doub and Vandenbelt, that the steric effects are usually small in absorption spectra, is criticized.

Band Spectra

The ultraviolet absorption spectra of bromobenzene in various solvents, and the spectra of a series of substituted bromobenzenes in cyclohexane solution, are reported. The B-band spectral data confirm the hypotheses postulated for the B-band spectra of chlorobenzenes in the previous part of this series of papers. That is, the bromine atom usually gives rise to greater steric effects than the chlorine atom and the apparent mesomeric interaction as judged from these spectra increases with the size of the halogen substituent.Both bromobenzene and chlorobenzene C-band intensities are unusually small, and this is assumed to account for the frequent C-band similarity between the spectrum of a mono-substituted benzene derivative PhX, where X = OH, OCH3, NH2, and the spectrum of the corresponding chloro- or bromo-substituted PhX derivative.

A spectral analysis of benzene derivatives is extended to substituted phenols. The discussion emphasizes hydrogen bonding and steric effects which occur in phenols. Some of the phenolic absorption bands are ascribed to locally excited states.

Anisoles, compared with phenols, possess similar spectral properties, except that properties determined mainly by the hydrogen atom of the hydroxy group are modified. In this way, comparison of the ultraviolet absorption spectra of phenols and anisoles permits, for example, the study of the spectral effects of hydrogen bonding and the study of steric interactions involving the hydroxy and methoxy groups.

The electronic spectra of benzaldehydes in the region 220–360 mμ are recorded and discussed in terms of previously stated hypotheses. The formyl group is shown to endow benzene derivatives with spectral properties similar to those of the acetyl group in acetophenones, except that steric interactions are slightly modified.

Minimum Interference

The application of light absorption data to determine minimum interference radii of various atoms in solution is examined. Three separate methods are suggested and the relation between potential energy and interatomic distance of two non-bonded atoms is discussed. The values obtained in neutral solution are as follows: H, 0.95 ± 0.1 Å; O (in C=O), 1.0 ± 0.15 Å; and CH3, 1.7 ± 0.2 Å.
