Abstract
The equilibrium torsion angles of 2-arylpyrroles in the liquid and solid phases were estimated by UV spectroscopy. In solution, compounds containing no substituents in positions 1, 3, and 2′ possess an average torsion angle of 24°, those containing one substituent have an angle of 29°, and in the case of two and three substituents, the angles are 53° and 65°, respectively. Phase transitions lead to flattening of the molecules in almost all cases. The average torsion angles in the compounds with no substituents in positions 1, 3, and 2′ decrease by ≈5° on passing from the gas to the liquid state and by ≈25° on going from the liquid to the solid state. The geometric parameters of 2-arylpyrroles with one or two substituents in positions 1, 3, and 2′ are less sensitive to phase transitions, while trisubstituted derivatives even retain their equilibrium conformations upon phase transitions.
