Thus, fltndamental postulates relating to the reactivities of 7r-electron systems are set up, which are believed to include general principles involved in the mechanism of both sub­ stitution and addition of electrophilic, nucleophilic, or radical type. On the basis of these postulates it is possible to predict the position of attack in conjugated molecules in all the three types of substitution as well as addition in a consistent manner. There is a nearly perfect agreement between the theoretical con­ clusions and experimental results hitherto reported. 1.

  • Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory
    Chapter 2: Molecular Structure and Bonding Bonding Theories 1. VSEPR Theory 2. Valence Bond theory (with hybridization) 3. Molecular Orbital Theory ( with molecualr orbitals) To date, we have looked at three different theories of molecular boning. They are the VSEPR Theory (with Lewis Dot Structures), the Valence Bond theory (with hybridization) and Molecular Orbital Theory. A good theory should predict physical and chemical properties of the molecule such as shape, bond energy, bond length, and bond angles.Because arguments based on atomic orbitals focus on the bonds formed between valence electrons on an atom, they are often said to involve a valence-bond theory. The valence-bond model can't adequately explain the fact that some molecules contains two equivalent bonds with a bond order between that of a single bond and a double bond. The best it can do is suggest that these molecules are mixtures, or hybrids, of the two Lewis structures that can be written for these molecules. This problem, and many others, can be overcome by using a more sophisticated model of bonding based on molecular orbitals. Molecular orbital theory is more powerful than valence-bond theory because the orbitals reflect the geometry of the molecule to which they are applied. But this power carries a significant cost in terms of the ease with which the model can be visualized. One model does not describe all the properties of molecular bonds. Each model desribes a set of properties better than the others. The final test for any theory is experimental data. Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory The Molecular Orbital Theory does a good job of predicting elctronic spectra and paramagnetism, when VSEPR and the V-B Theories don't.

  • Understanding Nonplanarity in Metallabenzene Complexes
    1986 Organometallics 2007, 26, 1986-1995 Understanding Nonplanarity in Metallabenzene Complexes Jun Zhu, Guochen Jia,* and Zhenyang Lin* Department of Chemistry, The Hong Kong UniVersity of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China ReceiVed February 11, 2007 The nonplanarity found in metallabenzene complexes has been investigated theoretically via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A metallabenzene has four occupied π molecular orbitals (8 π electrons) instead of three that benzene has. Our electronic structure analyses show that the extra occupied π molecular orbital, which is the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) in many metallabenzenes, has antibonding interactions between the metal center and the metal-bonded ring-carbon atoms, providing the electronic driving force toward nonplanarity. Calculations indicate that the electronic driving force toward nonplanarity, however, is relatively small. Therefore, other factors such as steric effects also play important roles in determining the planarity of these metallabenzene complexes. In this paper, how the various electronic and steric factors interplay has been discussed. Introduction benzene complexes.

Since the discovery of the first organic fluorophore, quinine, in 1845, both synthetic and theoretical efforts have endeavored to “modulate” fluorescent compounds. An advantage of synthetic dyes is the ability to employ modern organic chemistry strategies to tailor chemical structures and thereby rationally tune photophysical properties and functionality of the fluorophore. This review explores general factors affecting fluorophore excitation and emission spectra, molar absorption, Stokes shift, and quantum efficiency; and provides guidelines for chemist to create novel probes. Structure- property relationships concerning the substituents are discussed in detail with examples for several dye families. Then, we present a survey of functional probes based on PeT, FRET, and environmental or photo-sensitivity, focusing on representative recent work in each category. We believe that a full understanding of dyes with diverse chemical moieties enables the rational design of probes for the precise interrogation of biochemical and biological phenomena.

  • Principles of Drug Action 1, Spring 2005, Resonance and Induction
    Principles Of Drug Action 1, Spring 2005, Resonance and Induction RESONANCE AND INDUCTION TUTORIAL Jack DeRuiter The terms "resonance" and "induction" refer to the electronic effects that atoms or functional groups may have within a compound. These effects are defined below and are dependent on the valence, bonding order and electronegativity of atoms, as well as the molecular geometry. Thus it is important that you understand these concepts prior to reviewing this tutorial. I. INDUCTION Induction or the inductive effect of an atom or functional group is a function of that groups 1). electronegativity, 2). bonding order and charge and 3). position within a structure. Inductive effects refer to those electronic effects of an atom or functional group can contribute through single bonds such as saturated (sp3) carbon atoms! This is very different from resonance effects discussed later in this section. The contribution of electronegativity, bonding order and position toward induction is as follows: Electronegativity: Atoms or functional groups that are electronegative relative to hydrogen such as the halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. may have a negative inductive effect (-I), depending on their bonding order (see the Table below). Thus these atoms withdraw electron density through the single bond structure of a compound and can assist in the stabilization of negative charge that may form in reactions. One such reaction where -I groups can have a stabilizing (enhancing) effect is the ionization of acids. Consider the case of acetic acid, chloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid shown below. All three of these compounds can ionize (loss of proton from the carboxyl OH).

  • Molecular Orbital Theory
    Prof. Manik Shit, SACT, Department of Chemistry, Narajole Raj College, Narajole. Molecular Orbital Theory Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory Valence Bond Theory fails to answer certain questions like Why He2 molecule does not exist and why O2 is paramagnetic? Therefore in 1932 F. Hood and RS. Mulliken came up with theory known as Molecular Orbital Theory to explain questions like above. According to Molecular Orbital Theory individual atoms combine to form molecular orbitals, as the electrons of an atom are present in various atomic orbitals and are associated with several nuclei. Fig. No. 1 Molecular Orbital Theory Electrons may be considered either of particle or of wave nature. Therefore, an electron in an atom may be described as occupying an atomic orbital, or by a wave function Ψ, which are solution to the Schrodinger wave equation. Electrons in a molecule are said to occupy molecular orbitals. The wave function of a molecular orbital may be obtained by one of two method: 1. Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO). 2.
