Ha. Weimer et al., INFRARED OBSERVATION OF 2,3-DIDEHYDROGENATED NAPHTHALENE (2,3-NAPHTHYNE) IN INERT-GAS MATRICES AT 4-K, Journal of physical chemistry, 99(7), 1995, pp. 1824-1825
Infrared spectra of matrix-isolated 2,3-didehydrogenated naphthalene,
C10H6, have been observed. C10H6 was prepared by UV irradiating 2,3-na
phthalene anhydride isolated in inert gas matrices at 4 K. Good agreem
ent between theoretical calculations by Pauzat, Talbi, and Ellinger an
d the observed spectra was found.
