7 12.3 TE ÜCKEL RULE 1. To be aromatic, a molecule must be cyclic. 2. The molecule must be planar. 3. The ring must contain only sp2-hybridized atoms that can form a delocalized system of π molecular orbitals. 4. The number of π electrons in the delocalized π system must equal 4n 2, where n is an integer.

13 Figure 12.3 Molecular Orbitals in Benzene and Their Relative Energies Relative energies of benzene s MOs and their occupancy. The lowest energy MO, π1 is symmetric, and has no nodal planes. Orbitals π2 and π3, have the same energy. They are antisymmetric, and have one nodal plane. Each of the bonding MOs has two electrons. MOs π4, π5 and π6 have energy greater than zero. They are antibonding, and contain no electrons. π6 π1 π5 π2 E=0 π4 π3

14 Figure 12.4 Energy Levels and Occupancies of the Molecular Orbitals of Cycloheptatrienyl Cation The cylcoheptatrienyl cation contains 4n 2 = 6 π electrons. Therefore, it is aromatic. All three bonding π MOs are fully occupied, and the antibonding orbitals are empty. π 6 π 7 Energy E = 0 π 4 π 2 π 5 π 3 π 1

15 Figure 12.5 Energy Levels and Occupancies of the Molecular Orbitalsof Cyclopentadienyl Anion The cylcopentadienyl anion contains 4n 2 = 6 π electrons. Therefore, it is aromatic. All three bonding π MOs are fully occupied, and the antibonding orbitals are empty. π 4 π 5 Energy E = 0 π 2 π 3 π 1

16 Figure 12.6 Energy Levels and Occupancies of the Molecular Orbitals of Cycloheptatrienyl Anion The cylcoheptatrienyl anion contains 4n = 8 π electrons, where n = 2. Therefore, it is an unstable antiaromatic species. All three bonding π MOs are fully occupied, but the antibonding π4, π5 orbitals each have one electron. π 6 π 7 Energy E = 0 π 4 π 2 π 5 π 3 π 1

21 Figure 12.7 Relative Energy Levels of the Cyclopropenium Ion The cyclopropenium cation contains 4n 2 = 2 π electrons for n =0. Therefore, it is aromatic. Its two bonding π electrons occupy π1, and the antibonding π2, π3 orbitals are empty. π 2 π 3 Energy E = 0 π 1

22 Figure 12.8 Relative Energy Levels of Cyclobutadiene Cyclobutadiene is a 4n π antiaromatic molecule, for n =1. It has two bonding electrons in π1, and one electron in each of the nonbonding π2, π3 orbitals. It is a very unstable diradical. π 4 Energy E = 0 π 2 π 2 π 1
