The crystal structures of 2, 3-diphenyl-4, 4-dicyanotriafulvene (CYANOF) and 2, 3-diphenylcyclopro-penone (PROPEN) have been determined with Mo K X-ray diffraction data. CYANOF= crystallizes in the mono-clinic space group Alfa, with cell parameters of a= 9.5800, b= 10.0791, c= 14.2918 Á, and ß= 106.546 and Z= 4. PROPEN crystallizes as the monohydratein the orthorhombic space group Pbca with cell parameters of a= 9.291, b= 20.658, and c= 25.081 Á and Z= 16. The final R factors were 0.035 for CYANOF and 0.043 for PROPEN after full-matrix least-squares structure refinement. Four least-squares minimization functions were tested with the CYANOF data. CNDO/2 calculations have been carried out to obtain charge density and bond order information. TheO charge magnitudes in cyclopropenones are 0.12-0.14 e larger than the corresponding charges in saturated ketones. There is a larger negative charge on O in PROPEN (—0.387) than on the C (CN) 2 group in CYANOF (—0.366), but the positive charge distributions in the remainder of the molecules place more of the charge on the CYANOF phenyl than on the PROPEN phenyl. This result is in accord with the relative 19F nmr chemical shifts of 2, 3-di (p-fluorophenyl)-4, 4-dicyanotriafulvene and 2, 3-di (p-fluorophenyl) cyclopropenone.The fulvenes are nonalternant hydrocarbons which can formally reach Hückel aromatic status by the shift of a-electron paireither toward, or away from, an unsaturated ring.
