ABSTRACT
The vibrational spectra of diphenylacetylene and its deuterated forms were recorded, compared and their vibrations analysed. Using the AM 1 semiempirical method, the optimum geometric parameters of diphenylacetylene (tolane) and four halo-substituted were obtained, and the theoretical idiared spectra were calculated and compared. Several vibrational modes, especially in the low fiequency range, were established. A few thermodynamic parameters, net atomic charges and atomic electron density were computed.
INTRODUCTION
The molecular structure of diphenylacetylene (tolane) has been the subject of both experimental and theoretical studies. The molecule in the So state is known to be in a planar structure having D, symmetry in the crystalline state. The molecular structure has been studied by electron difiction in the gas phase at 150°C and by X-ray crystallography'4.

Theoretical calculations based on the two-dimensional Hiickel molecular orbital theory, as by CNDO methods, it has been determined that the planar structure of tolane is somewhat more stable than the perpendicular one, although by INDO and CNDO/2 semiempirical calculations2,6, the perpendicular form has been found to be more stable. The rotation potential has also been studied and it has been reported that its shape for an isolated molecule d y depends on conjugation between the unsaturated fiagments. Ab initio studies using h P 2 treatment of electron correlation, varying only the torsional angle corresponding to the C=C bond, show the two phenyl rings coplanar in the equilibrium geometry'. In view of the importance of the -C=C- bond and to understand the planarity of the structure, the present work shows the theoretical study with four halo-substituted in ortho position.
Concerning the fimdamental fiequencies of tolane, they have been identified with different force fields and with a normal coordinate treatmenP9. Also, the IR spectra of solid and solution samples have been reported", as well as the complete Raman spectra in solid and solution phases"', but many doubts yet remain in the assignment of the bands of their spectra, specially in the low fiequency range. The assignment shown in the present paper is based on the frequencies computed by the AM1 semiempirical method and correlations by scale factors with experimental fiequencies reported for benzene" and for other molecule^'^. Also correlations with the bands assigned in the spectrum of phenyl acetylene
methylacetylene (MA) and dunethylacetylene @MA)16, were carried out.
COMPUTATIONAL METJIODS
All the calculations were carried out with the AM1 semiempirical method from the AMPAC".'* and GAUSSIAN 9219 program packages. The optimum geometrical values were obtained without fixing any parameter, and with the keyword PRECISE in the M A C package and with the OPT=TIGHT convergence with GAUSSIAN 92 The vibrational fiequencies and intensities in this structure of minimum energy were calculated
The DRAW programZo was also used for graphical evaluation of the correctness of starting geometries prior to calculation, to review the resulting optimized geometries after the calculation, and to help in the identification of all the normal vibration modes obtained by M I . The drawings were observed in high- resolution graphics computer terminals, Tektronic 4 105 model

EXPERIMENTAL
Tolane was purchased fiom Merck Ltd. and was used without hrther purification. Deuterated samples were prepared using a method similar to that previously reported2'. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer 599 B spectrophotometer. Indene and polystyrene were used for instrument calibration. The infrared frequencies were accurate to 1 cm".
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION GEOMETRY OPTIMIZATION
The final structural parameters in tolane molecule computed by AMl, are listed in the second column of Tables 1-3: bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles, respectively. The atom notation is shown in Fig. 1. Although the compiited data by AM1 correspond to a molecule isolated without the environment of the crystal structure, the results obtained are in agreement with the experimental ones, as discussed below.
The tolane conformation by AM1 was found to be planar, as in the crystal, and the deviations of the valence angles from 180" were not greater than *2". A review with the results fiom the structure refinements of the electron difiaction and X-ray data available in the literature has been reported'. The dimensions for the free molecule of tolane published more recently by X-ray dieaction are listed in the fourth column of Tables 1-2. In the crystal two crystallographically independent molecules, making an angle between their planes of 49.2", have been found with considerable structural Werences between them. The lengths and angles shown in the fourth column, are the average of the parameters of both molecules found in the crystal. The chemically equivalent atoms, but crystallographically independent parts of the molecule are also averaged'. When hydrogen atoms were involved, the crystallographic data were taken from ref. [2].
Taking into account the different physical meanings of structure parameters reported by electron &%action and by X-ray methods, the conformity of the results by Ah41 in tolane is fairly good. In an analysis of these values, the following is observed: All C-C distances in the phenyl ring calculated by Ah41 are larger than the main value of 1.392 A

Full optimizations in the barrier height of the potential function were performed with AM1 . Tables 3-3 only show the values obtained in tolane (X = H), the h d column.
The effect of the fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine substitution (X atom) on the ring structure and the triple bond were also studied in tolane (Fig. 1). In columns 5-8 of Tables 1-3 are shown the optimum

geometric parameters obtained. No appreciable variation of the character of the triple bond is observed with the X substitution.
Several interatomic distances of interest are also listed in Table 1. Thus it is noted that the phenyl rings of the tolane molecule are sufficiently separated fiom each other with a C(2)--C(14) distance of 4.011 8, by AM1 and 4.049 8, by X-ray’ for the steric interaction between them to be completely ruled out. Therefore the 7t-electron conjugation keeping two tolane rings in one plane may be opposed only by intermolecular interaction. When the atom X (see Fig. 1 ) are substituted by a halogen, the C(2)-C(14) distance has very small variation, less than 0.008 A. However, the rings are larger in the direction of the acetylene bridge. The C(2).-C(5) distance is maximum with fluorine, 2.828 A, and decrease with the decrement of the electronegativity of the substituent, until the value with iodme, 2.806 & whch is very close to that with hydrogen (tolane), 2.805 A. Consequently, C(5)--C(17) changes from 9.656 8, with X=fluorine to 9.621 A with X=iodme, or 9.616 A with X=hydrogen. Due to the trends in atomic sizes for the atoms represented in X, the X(8)-X(20) distance changes remarkably from 4.392 8, with X=hydrogen (minimum atomic radlus) to 3.545 A with X=iodine (maximum atomic radius).
In solution, the most probable tolane conformation has been reported as planar, as shown by electronic absorption spectra2’ and Raman spectra of solutions”, although some experimental results have been ascribed to the fraction of non-planar molecules present’. The electronic spectra of tolane in vapour phase in supersonic free jet has been published”.
VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES
Table 4 shows the bands computed by AM1 (the second column), their relative intensities (the third column), the reduced masses and force constant of each vibration (the fourth-fifth columns), the IR bands reported in solid and solution phases (the tenth-eleventh columns)’O, the Raman lines in the solid state (the twelfth column)’.” and the assignment established by AM1 (the thirteen column). The intensities were obtained by dividmg the computed value by the intensity of the strongest line (in

the present study, h e no. 5 1). In the svrth column appear the scale factors ( v , ~ , & ~ ) fiom benzenei2, used to correct the deficiency of the AM1 method. The results obtained are listed in the seventh column. The YO error determined in this way regarding the experimental data (IR, solid state) is collected in the eighth column.
When a monosubstituted benzene is considered, there are 24 ring vibrational modes in whch the substituent moves with negligible amplitude, and six more which are sensitive to the properties of the substituent . For these vibrations, in general, a good correlation between the reported and calculated fiequencies and intensities was observed. A graphical comparison of the spectra is presented in Fig. 2. For obvious reasons, the experimental fiequencies correspondmg to overtones and combination bands are not shown in Table 4.
Concerning Table 4 it is noted that the computed frequencies are systematically higher than the experimental ones. Such an overestimation by AM1 is a general finding with semiempirical method^'^.^^. An analysis of the different modes is carried out in the following:
C=C modes: The triple bond stretching vibration was computed with weak intensity at 2494 cm-' and tentatively related to the very strong and polarized Raman band at 2224 cm-' in the solid state. By IR this mode has not been observed'. In acetylene this vibration appears at 1973 cm-I, while in methylacetylene (MA) it is at 2142 cm-], and in dunethylacetylene @MA) at 2240 cm-'. When the CH, group is replaced by the phenyl group the frequency is lowered by 24 cm", appearing in PA at 2 1 18 cm-', while the = C-C stretching fiequency is increased by - 260 mi', from 931 (MA) or 938 cm-' @MA) to 1192 cm-' (PA) (mode 13 of the ring). In tolane v( zC-C) is identified in the IR spectrum at ca. 1500 cm-' while the vibrations of mode 13, inter-ring stretching, appear at 3045 cm-' (scaled by AM1 at 3056 cm-' and by ab initio' at 3050 crn-') in dsagreement with the fiequency range established by Var~anyi '~, 1 100- 1300 cm-'. These features are due to the effect of conjugation, in correspondence with the difference observed by microwave measurements in the (=C-C) bond lengths, from 1.458 8, in MA to 1.448 A in PA' and 1.439 A in tolane4.
The C=C and C-Cs bending modes contribute to several vibrations because of extensive mixing of unlike symmetry coordinates. Thus below 700 cm" many of the frequencies computed by AM1

correspond to ~(C-CEC-C) and y(C-C=C-C), several of which are illustrated in Fig. 2. In PA the linear 6(C-C=C) has been reported' at 152 cm-', while 6(C=C) and y(C=C) appeared at 516 and 352 cm-' respectively, values lower than in tolane, in which the latter mode is computed at 667, 520 and 393 cm-' and the former at 622 and 524 cm-'. All this is due to an increase in the conjugation effect by the new ring, reflected in the EC-C bond lengths: 1.467 A in dmethylacetylene (DMA), 1.448 A in PA and 1.438 A in tolane3'. In tolane-d,, these vibrations are lower ca. 20 cm-', Table 5 .
Ring modes: Referring to Table 4, the n o d modes of the ring are identified by numbers accordmg to Wilson's notation3', and appear with the experimental fiequencies in the spectral regions characteristic of mono-light substituted benzene^'^. Phase splitting in the experimental bands are not significant in the present compound, thus the fundamental bands appear both in IR and Raman spectra at about the same place8.'0.
In the present study, in the spectral region between 32 10 and 3000 cm-l , four normal modes of the ring were computed by AM 1, the radial vibrations: 2, 20b, 7a and 7b, and mode 13. The latter in mono-light benzene derivatives is characterized as stretching v(C-X). The strongvery strong intensity calculated for these modes, between the hghest determined by Ah41 , are in good agreement with the experimental frequencies8. Thus e.g., the IR bands at 3063, 3062 cm-', solid and solution phases respectively, and the Raman line at 3062 cm-' assigned as a C-H stretching, mode 2, were in agreement with the scaled frequency at 3069 mi' computed by AMl, the % error being very small, 0.2. Mode 20a was not characterized by AM1 . The IR band at 3052 cm-' and the Raman line at 3054 cm-' correspond to this mode.
In the 3000-1600 cm-' range, combinations of the highest ring modes and Fermi resonance have been reported for many experimental bands*, which are not shown in Table 4.
The relation and assignments by AM1 for most of the in-plane fundamentals in the 1600-1000 cm-' range are good. Modes 8a, 8b, 19a, 19b are typical C=C ring stretchings, while 1 8a, 3,9a and 18b are C-H in-plane bendings. No fiuther attention is paid to these vibrations due to the general agreement between scaled Ah41 and experimental fiequencies with very small error (%). An exception is made with the vibration

computed at 1503 cm-' (no. 47 in Table 4), mode 19a, because it appears strongly coupled with mode 18a. This kind of coupling has been studied by Schere?'.
The strong band at 1 142 cm", among the strongest bands in the Raman spectrum, and assigned to the symmetrical C,-C stretching, is not computed drectly by AM1 , but can be included in the normal mode 1 (vibration no. 39 in Table 4). Although the Raman line at 702 cm-' is assigned to the ring breath (mode l), the vibrational mode of thls band is heavily mixed, and it is not concentrated on one mode but is distributed over several ring modes. Thus it is scaled at 937 and 1060 cm-', out of the range predicted by Varsanyi14 (1100-1300 cm-') due to the strong coupling with mode 18a. The asymmetric C,-C stretching, reported by IR"'' in the solid state at 1312 cm", is associated with mode 14, computed by AM1 and scaled at 13 13 cm-I. In PA this mode has been identifiedl4." at 1331 cm-'. The scaled AM1 value at 1336 cm" of mode 3, C-H bending, is in agreement with the IR bands at 1330,1328 cm-I, solid and solution phases respectively, and the Raman lines at 1330,1334 cm-' .
Below lo00 mi' appear the C-H (modes 5 , l Oa, 17a, 17b and 1 1) and C-X (mode lob) out-of-plane vibrations. The IR fiequencies of modes 5 and 17% 986 and 965 cm-' respectively, are very close to those ofPAI4, 986 and 97 1 cm-' and those of benzene, 990 and 967 cm'' respechvely. Thus the scale factors used in tolane and tolaned,, for these modes, reproduce the IR fiequencies perfectly by AM1 , the error being only 1 cm".
The IR band a! 840 cm-' and the Raman line at 848 cm-' have been assigned' as out-of-plane ring vibrations y(CCC), but in our study they corresponded to the y(C-H) mode 10% the scaled AM1 fiequency being at 843 cm-'.
With strong intensity appear the normal mode 11, scaled by Ah41 at 735 cm-' and related to the sharp very strong IR band at 757 cm-'. In PA this mode has been registered in IR at 756 cm-' with very strong inten~ity'~.
The assignments published in the region below 400 cm-' have been often uncertain because of experimental acuities, both in the Raman and IR spectra. The IR fiequency reported at 285 cm-' has been interpreted" as an asymmetric vibration of the tolane skeleton whose totally symmetric mode has been identiiied at 260 cm-' in the fluorescence

tolane’. These close values are due to the fact that the character of the triple bond is not appreciably disturbed by the presence of one or two phenyl rings’. In our AM1 study the halo-substitution did not change this character and the net atomic charges and atomic electron density on the carbons of the acetylene bridge remained almost invariable. In tolane (X=H), the acetylene moiety withdraws electrons of the neighbour carbons. Thus in the carbons the lowest net atomic charge (in absolute value) and atomic electron density corresponded to C(2) and C( 14) while the highest corresponded to the carbons in metu position, C(4), C(6) and C(16), C(18). In the haloderivatives, the charge on C(2), C( 14) was also positive and increased fiom clorine to iodine. No other carbon atom had

positive chatge in the molecule. An exception was noted with X=F, where C(3), C(7) had the positive charge, which was due to the strong electronegativity of fluorine which withdraws electrons on the adjacent carbon.
Concerning the dipole moment, there are no data in the bibliography on tolane, but it has been reported in bis(3'- fluoropheny1)acetylene by CNDO and INDO methods in their different conformations as a function of the dihedral angle', and in PA by microwave stark effect5, 0.656 pD.
The enthalpies of formation of compouuds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen by AM1 have been reported to be in agreement with MNDO and the experimental dataM, the mean absolute errors being 6.64 (MNDO) and 5.88 kcal mot' (AM1).
SUMMARY
The geometric parameters computed by the AM1 semiempirical method in phenylacetylene agreed well with the crystallographic results. An exception was observed in the ring-C= single binding to the acetylenic carbon of the molecule.
A good reproduction of the experimental frequencies was obtained with AM1 . The % enur obtained using scale factors, was very small, less than 3.5%. In the assignments, most of the relevant vibrational ikquencies were m accordance with those reported in their IR and Raman spectra. The vii t ions were recognized as characteristic of a monosubstituted benzene and could be interpreted on the basis of two phenyl groups weakly interacting through the acetylenic bridge.
Concerning the intensity of the vibrations it was noted that, in general, the modes not detected in the spectra were those having the lowest computed intensities.
The assignment of tolane, sumnand . m Table 3, was sigdicantly supported by the parallel assignment of tolane-d,,.
