Conclusions
-
1.
The vibrational spectra of bicyclo[1.1.0]butane were investigated in three aggregated states, and assignments of the frequencies of the basic vibrations of this molecule were proposed.
-
2.
The frequencies of the stretching vibrations of the methylene groups of bicyclobutane are substantially lowered in comparison with cyclopropane and other three-membered rings. This is evidence of a substantial difference of the electronic spectrum of the methylene group of bicyclobutane from other three-membered rings.
