Fulvenes and thermochromic ethylenes. Part LX. The conformation of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one and 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one
Abstract
The monochloro- and dichloro-derivatives of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one and 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo-[a,d]cyclohepten-5-one have been synthesised. Dipole moments of the compounds show that their molecules cannot be planar.
