The spectroscopic (electronic absorption, fluorescence, and electron transmission (ET)) and photochemical properties of anti-7-chlorobenzonorbomene (BAntiCl) and syn-7-chlorobenzonorbomene (BSynCl) are reported. These are complemented by ab initio MO calculations. The BSynCl isomer, the LUMO of which contains relatively little C—Cl a* character, is relatively unreactive upon photolysis (254 nm) in methanol (< 3> diS (BSynCl)= 0.0014). The LUMO of BAntiCl is calculated to contain a significant amount of C—Cl* character, consistent with the much greater reactivity (< $> diS (BAntiCl)= 0.23) of this isomer. The ET spectra reveal that the* levels of these compounds and of their exo-2-and enáo-2-chlorobenzonorbomene isomers (BExoCl and BEndoCl, respectively) are appreciably stabilized relative to that of benzonorbomene (BNB). A natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis shows that much of this stabilization derives from inductive effects, with sizable through-space (TS)(0.07 and 0.10 eV) and throughbond (TB)(0.03 and 0.06 eV) coupling between the* and C—Cl* orbitals for BAntiCl and BExoCl, respectively.
