Abstract
Ab initio molecular orbital theory with the STO-3G and 4-31G basis sets is used to determine the equilibrium geometries, enthalpies of formation, strain energies and spiro-interactions for spiro[3.3]heptane and spiro[3.3]hepta -1,5 - diene. For spiro[3.3]heptane, molecular mechanics calculations suggest that the component cyclobutane rings are puckered to a greater extent than in cyclobutane itself. For spiro[3.3]hepta - 1,5 - diene, STO-3G calculations predict that the component cyclobutene rings deviate slightly from an orthogonal arrangement. Spiro-interactions in spiro[3.3]hepta - 1,5 - diene are revealed by comparing the calculated structural parameters and strain energies with those of appropriate reference systems. The π-orbitals in spiro[3.3]hepta -1,5 -diene are predicted to be split by about 0.4 eV.
