Question:
A conjugated hydrocarbon has an alternation of double and single bonds. Draw the molecular orbitals of the π system of 1,3,5-hexatriene. If the energy required to excite an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO corresponds to a wavelength of 256 nm, do you expect the wavelength for the corresponding excitation in 1,3,5,7-octatetraene to be a longer or shorter wavelength?
