Abstract:
The enthalpies of combustion and sublimation of 1,3-dithiacyclohexane 1,1-dioxide (1,3-dithiane sulfone) were measured by a rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter and the Knudsen effusion technique, and the gas-phase enthalpy of formation was determined, Delta(f)H(m)*(g) = -326.3 +/- 2.0 kJ mol(-1). Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the G2(MP2) level were performed, and a theoretical study on molecular and electronic structure of the compound has been carried out. Calculated Delta(f)H(m)*(g) values agree very well with the experimental one. These experimental and theoretical studies support the relevance of the repulsive electrostatic interaction between sulfur atoms in 1,3-dithiane sulfone, that apparently counterbalances any n(S) --> rho(C-SO2)* stabilizing hyperconjugative interaction.

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is more stable, the...

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
