However, the long wave length band of VI1 is nearer the visible and more intense than the benzoyl band of IV or the principal band of the naphthalene nucleus.20 Hence this band of VI1 must involve an important contribution from forins E, as wcll as forms D. Further evidence for the nature of the resonance stabilizations possible in these three series of ketones (I, I1 and 111) is revealed in the spectra of their a-bromo derivatives VIIT, XI1 and XV. respectively. Introduction of the a-bromo substituent onto ketone I1 causes a bathochromic shift of 160 A. for the long wave length band. The a-bromo substituent wa? reportedS to cause a bathochromic shift of 80-120 A. for a,@-unsaturated ketones. The shift indicates that the bromine atom lends more resonance stabilization to the excited state than to the ground state. In addition to forms indicated by A, forms F and G might be stabilizing the excited state by supporting part of the positive charge.

Hydrogen bonding effects have been observed.241z7 Such effects might operate in a-substituted endocyclic a$-unsaturated ketones but would be geometrically impossible in the P-derivatives. For some of the compounds involved in this study, infrared data have been determined using ljujol mulls. It has been pointed that intermolecular forces in condensed phases have an important influence on the infrared carbonyl absorption frequency. These forces can be minimized by using dilute solutions in carbon tetrachloride. The discussion above, concerning the ultraviolet spectra of these compounds, dealt with some evidence for the effect of the various substituents on the ground state of the endocyclic a#-unsaturated carbonyl system. It seemed of interest to obtain the more direct evidence of infrared spectra for these effects, and to study these spectra in relation to each other and to previous infrared data.24 Discussion of Results.-The physical state of the sample is important.24 In dilute carbon tetrachloride solution the carbonyl band generally was found to be 10-20 cm.-' toward higher wave nurnbers than the carbonyl band observed in the condensed phase (uiz.,liquid or Nujol mull). In some cases the difference was less, particularly in the perinaphthenone-7 (111) series. In the condensed phase, intermolecular effects might be expected to increase the polarity of the carbonyl group. Thus the solution data give a more reliable picture of the isolated molecule.25 I n the discussion which follows, references will be made almost exclusively to the solution data. The carbonyl absorption frequency gives evidence of the polarity (single bond character) of the carbonyl group. The norrnal undisturbed carbonyl frequency is 1705-1723 cm.-l in aliphatic ketones.24 Conjugation with an aryl group reduces the wave number to 1680-1700 cm.-l. Phenyl vinyl ketones and P-styryl ketones absorb in the same range25(yiz.,IBIS0 and 1690 cm.-', resp.). Endocyclic ketones I and IT absorb a t 1663 and 166% cxn-l, respectively. This indicates that resonance interaction causes the carbonyl groups to be slightly more polar than in the corresponding open chain compounds.z5 The cyclic conjugated systems in I and I1 are held rigidly in position for iiiasimurn resonance interaction and polarization.'s (2.j) S .

Perinaphthenone-7 (111) shows even more extensive resonance interaction between the carbonyl group and the rest of the aromatic system. The carbonyl absorption frequency (l(M cm.-l) indicates considerable polarity of the carbonyl group. Evidence for this extensive resonance interaction in the ground state of I11 and its derivatives was also noted in the ultraviolet spectra. The dihydro derivatives in the three series exhibit carbonyl bands in the range expecteci. Ketone V has an aliphatic carbonyl group, and absorbs a t 1712 an.-'. Ketones IV and VI1 are aryl ketones, and absorb a t 1685 and 1690 crn.-l, respectively. The a-bromine atom in VI shifts the absorption band 12 cm.-l to higher wave number, as expected.'? In all three series of unsaturated ketones, introduction of a bromine atom into the a-position caused a shift to higher wave numbers. This indicates that the strong inductive and coulombic field effects of bromine increase the double bond character of the carbonyl group. Several workersz4 have observed that the shift caused by an equatorial a-bromine mas 20 cm.-l in saturated ketones, where only the inductive and coulombic field effects can operate. In the 11, I and 111 series, the shift is progressively less (16, S. and -1- cni.-', respectively). This indicates that the resonance and electrostatic dipolar i n t e r a ~ t i o n ' ~of the bromine atom with the carbonyl group is progressively greater for the three series in the order named, and partly cancels the inductive and coulombic field effects, see Fig. 1. The resonance stabilization of the excited state for these coxnpounds has been discussed above, in relation to the ultraviolet spectra. ,yBri(?
