Abstract

(1, 4)cyclophanes having either two butadiene bridges, or a butadiene bridge and a cyclobutene ring or two cyclobutene rings at the bridge positions have been considered for restricted Hartree-Fock, MP2 and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)) level type calculations. Various molecular orbital energies, thermodynamic properties, IR frequencies etc. have been obtained and discussed. Also NICS calculations for the phane decks have been performed.
