Abstrakt: Propargylene was identified in a matrix as a product of photolysis of cyclopropenylidene and diazopropyne. The molecule is a triplet. The optimum geometry predicted by ab initio calculations corresponds to a structure HC≡C–CH. The transition structure in the interconversion HC≡C–CH⇄HĊ=C=ĊH⇄HC–C≡CH is very low in energy and close to the energy of the vibrational ground state. Owing to this nonrigidity, computed infrared (IR) frequencies based on a harmonic treatment do not match the experimental spectrum. When this nonrigidity is taken into account by using a nonharmonic approximation calculated UMP2/6-31G** IR spectra are in good agreement with the observed spectra of HCCCH and DCCCD.
