The conformations of tetravinylmethane (1) and trivinylmethane (3) have been calculated using a ?-SCF force field and the MINDO/3 method.Both methods predict for 1 a conformation of S4 symmetry and for 3 a conformation of C3 symmetry to be most stable.Based on these predictions we discuss the He(I) photoelectron (PE) spectra of 1 and 3.The comparison between the PE spectrum of 1 and that of all-trans-1,2,3,4-tetravinylcyclobutane (2) reveals a similar interaction between the vinyl groups in 2 compared with 1.
