Notes:
A method outlined previously [1] is used to show that in norbornadiene (3) the b2(π) orbital lies above a1(π), as predicted by theory. This indicates that in 3 through-space interaction between the two basis π-orbitals πa and πb is more important than through-bond interaction.Analysis of the PE.-spectra of 8-isopropylidene-tricyclo[3.2.1.02,4]-octane (13) and the corresponding octene (15) confirms that the π-orbital πc of the exocyclic double bond conjugates more strongly with the symmetric Walsh-orbital es of the cyclopropano moiety than with the π-orbital πa of a double bond in the same position.
