Conjugated Systems, Orbital Symmetry, and Ultraviolet Spectroscopy Part 3:Structural Elucidation of Organic Compounds: UV-vis Spectroscopy. Joseph Lawry all rights reserved Cumulated double bond systems are lower in energy, thus are more stable. Recall: Heats of hydrogenation could be used to compare relative stabilities Note, that as in aromatic systems, the predicted heat of hydrogenation is actually 3.7 kcal higher than the actual value. This indicates an additional stability beyond what would be predicted based on trends from linear Relative energies of conjugated, isolated and cumulated
