When β-carotene is oxidized in vivo, it breaks in half and forms two molecules of retinal (vitamin A), which is a precursor to the pigment in the retina responsible for vision. The conjugated system of retinal consists of 11 C atoms and 1 O atom. In the ground state of retinal, each level up to n = 6 is occupied by two electrons. Assuming an average internuclear distance of 140 pm, calculate (a) the separation in energy between the ground and first exciteted state in which one electron occupies the state with n = 7, and (b) the frequency of radiation required to produce a transition between these two states. From your results, correct the following sentence (from the options in brackets). The absorption spectrum of a linear polyene shifts to (higher/lower) frequency as the number of conjugated atoms (increases/decreases).
What is the Huckel π–electron energies of benzene?
Many of the colours of vegetation are due to electronic transit ions in conjugated π-electron systems. In the freeelectron molecular orbital (FEMO) theory. the electrons in a conjugated molecule are treated as independent particles in a box of length L. (a) Sketch the form of the two occupied orbitals in butadiene predicted by this model and predict the minimum excitation energy of the molecule. (b) In many cases. an extra half bond-length is often added at each end of the box. The tetraene CH2=CHCH=CHCH=CHCH=CH2 can therefore be t reated as a box of length 8R. where R = 140 pm. Ca lcu late the minimum excitation energy of the molecule and sketch the HOMO and LUMO.
