2 Bringing the ends of a conjugated chain together to form a ring gives a lowest  MO with an additional bonding interaction. In a conjugated rings peripheral nodes must come in even numbers. e.g. cyclopropenyl 0 nodes2 nodes Lowest MO will have energy = -N/N = -1 2 nodes E = -1E = +1/2

3 Energy Shifts on “Ring Formation” +1 0.... : : MO Energy (units of 2  ) : : End to End Interaction favorable unfavorable Shifts Alternate (because of increasing number of nodes).

4 Hückel’s Rule: 4n+2  electrons is unusually favorable in a conjugated ring. On bringing the ends of a chain together, odd-numbered  MOs (1, 3, 5, etc.) decrease in energy (favorable terminal overlap for 0,2,4… nodes), while even-numbered  MOs (2, 4, 6, etc.) increase in energy (unfavorable terminal overlap for 1,3,5… nodes). Thus having an odd number of occupied orbitals (more odd-numbered than even-numbered) insures overall  stabilization of ring (compared to chain). [though there may be strain in the  bonds] an odd number of e-pairs (where n in an integer)
