This is probably caused by the interaction of the “empty” 4p-orbital of the Ge atom with the lone-pair electrons of pyridine. The Ge1−N2 distance (2.1849(18) Å) is 0.25 Å longer than the Ge1−N1 distance, indicating that a weak dative bond12a is established between pyridine and germanium.

  • The Conformations of Cycloalkanes
    The Conformations of Cycloalkanes Ring-containing structures are a common occurrence in organic chemistry. We must, therefore spend some time studying the special characteristics of the parent cycloalkanes. Cyclical connectivity imposes constraints on the range of motion that the atoms in rings can undergo. Cyclic molecules are thus more rigid than linear or branched alkanes because cyclic structures have fewer internal degrees of freedom (that is, the motion of one atom greatly influences the motion of the others when they are connected in a ring). In this lesson we will examine structures of the common ring structures found in organic chemistry. The first four cycloalkanes are shown below. cyclopropane cyclobutane cyclopentane cyclohexane The amount of energy stored in a strained ring is estimated by comparing the experimental heat of formation to the calculated heat of formation. The calculated heat of formation is based on the notion that, in the absence of strain, each –CH2– group contributes equally to the heat of formation, in line with the behavior found for the acyclic alkanes (i.e., open chains). Thus, the calculated heat of formation varies linearly with the number of carbon atoms in the ring. Except for the 6-membered ring, the experimental values are found to have a more positive heat of formation than the calculated value owning to ring strain. The plots of calculated and experimental enthalpies of formation and their difference (i.e., ring strain) are seen in the Figure. The 3-membered ring has about 27 kcal/mol of strain. It can be seen that the 6-membered ring possesses almost no ring strain.

McGill Chemistry Major Faculty Sponsor Introduction The number of carbon atoms bonded in the ring of a cycloalkane has a large effect on its energy. A molecule's energy has a vast impact on its stability. Determining the most stable form of a molecule is a usefol technique in the world of chemistry. One of the major factors that influ­ ence the energy (stability) of cycloalkanes is the molecule's ring strain. Ring strain is normally viewed as being directly proportional to the insta­ bility of a molecule. It is defined as a type of potential energy within the cyclic molecule, and is determined by the level of "strain" between the bonds of cycloalkanes. For example, propane has tl1e highest ring strain of all cycloalkanes. Each of propane's carbon atoms is sp3-hybridized.

  • Text Related to Segment 5.02 ©2002 Claude E. Wintner from the Previous Segment We Have the Value of the Heat of Combustion Of
    Text Related to Segment 5.02 ©2002 Claude E. Wintner From the previous segment we have the value of the heat of combustion of an "unstrained" methylene unit as -157.4 kcal/mole. On this basis one would predict that combustion of "unstrained" cyclopropane should liberate 3 X 157.4 = 472.2 kcal/mole; however, when cyclopropane is burned, a value of 499.8 kcal/mole is measured for the actual heat of combustion. The difference of 27.6 kcal/mole is interpreted as representing the higher internal energy ("strain energy") of real cyclopropane as compared to a postulated strain-free "model." ("Model" in this usage speaks of a proposal, or postulate.) These facts are graphed conveniently on an energy diagram as follows: "Strain Energy" represents the error units: kcal/mole not to scale in the "strain-free model" real cyclopropane + 4.5 O2 27.6 "strain-free model" of cyclopropane 499.8 observed heat of combustion + 4.5 O2 472.2 3CO2 + 3H2O heat of combustion predicted for "strain-free model" Note that this estimate of the strain energy in cyclopropane amounts to 9.2 kcal/mole of strain per methylene group (dividing 27.6 by 3, because of the three carbon atoms). Comparable values in kcal/mole for other small and medium rings are given in the following table. As one might expect, in general the strain decreases as the ring is enlarged. units: kcal/mole n Total Strain Strain per CH2 3 27.6 9.2 (CH2)n 4 26.3 6.6 5 6.2 1.2 6 0.1 0.0 ! 7 6.2 0.9 8 9.7 1.2 9 12.6 1.4 10 12.4 1.2 12 4.1 0.3 15 1.9 0.1 Without entering into a discussion of the relevant bonding concepts here, and instead relying on geometry alone, interpretation of the source of the strain energy in cyclopropane and cyclobutane is to some extent self-evident.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract A nearly forgotten reaction discovered more than 60 years ago—the cycloaddition of a cyclic alkyne and an organic azide, leading to an aromatic triazole—enjoys a remarkable popularity. Originally discovered out of pure chemical curiosity, and dusted off early this century as an efficient and clean bio- conjugation tool, the usefulness of cyclooctyne–azide cycloaddition is now adopted in a wide range of fields of chemical science and beyond. Its ease of operation, broad solvent compatibility, 100 % atom efficiency, and the high stability of the resulting triazole product, just to name a few aspects, have catapulted this so-called strain-promoted azide–alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) right into the top-shelf of the toolbox of chemical biologists, material scientists, biotechnologists, medicinal chemists, and more. In this chapter, a brief historic overview of cycloalkynes is provided first, along with the main synthetic strategies to prepare cycloalkynes and their chemical reactivities. Core aspects of the strain-promoted reaction of cycloalkynes with azides are covered, as well as tools to achieve further reaction acceleration by means of modulation of cycloalkyne structure, nature of azide, and choice of solvent.

    Chem 341 • Organic Chemistry I Lecture Summary 10 • September 14, 2007 Chapter 4 - Stereochemistry of Alkanes and Cycloalkanes Conformations of Cycloalkanes Cyclic compounds contain something we call Ring Strain. There are three things that contribute to ring strain. Torsional strain (electron repulsion in eclipsing bonds), steric strain (atoms bumping into each other) and angle strain. Angle Strain: the strain due to bond angles being forced to expand or contract from their ideal. Sp3 hybridized atoms want to have bond angles of 109.5°. However, if the rings are very small or very large, there is no way to accommodate this angle. Thus, this increases the energy of the molecule. Heat of Combustion: the amount of heat (energy) released when a molecule burns completely with oxygen. By comparing the heat of combustion of different sized cycloalkanes, their relative energies can be obtained. The fact that the size of the ring has an influence on the total energy of the molecule indicates that there is some degree of instability associated with constraining the rings. This added energy (in addition to what would be expected from carbon and hydrogen combustion per mole) can be attributed to ring strain. n i a r t S g n i R 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Ring Size Conformations of Cyclopropane Cyclopropane has a high degree of angle strain due to the highly distorted bond angles. The angle between the carbons is 60°. This cannot be accommodated by sp3-hybridized atoms. Thus, the 60° bonds actually are bent sigma bonds.

  • Bonding and Structure of Disilenes and Related Unsaturated Group-14 Element Compounds
    No. 5] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 88 (2012) 167 Review Bonding and structure of disilenes and related unsaturated group-14 element compounds † By Mitsuo KIRA*1, (Communicated by Hitosi NOZAKI, M.J.A.) Abstract: Structure and properties of silicon-silicon doubly bonded compounds (disilenes) are shown to be remarkably different from those of alkenes. X-Ray structural analysis of a series of acyclic tetrakis(trialkylsilyl)disilenes has shown that the geometry of these disilenes is quite flexible, and planar, twist or trans-bent depending on the bulkiness and shape of the trialkylsilyl substituents. Thermal and photochemical interconversion between a cyclotetrasilene and the corresponding bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane occurs via either 1,2-silyl migration or a concerted electrocyclic reaction depending on the ring substituents without intermediacy of the corresponding tetrasila-1,3-diene. Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of a stable spiropentasiladiene have revealed a unique feature of the spiroconjugation in this system. Starting with a stable dialkylsilylene, a number of elaborated disilenes including trisilaallene and its germanium congeners are synthesized. Unlike carbon allenes, the trisilaallene has remarkably bent and fluxional geometry, suggesting the importance of the :-<* orbital mixing. 14-Electron three-coordinate disilene- palladium complexes are found to have much stronger :-complex character than related 16-electron tetracoordinate complexes.

  • Baeyer's Angle Strain Theory for B.Sc. Sem-II Organic Chemistry: US02CCHE01 by Dr. Vipul B. Kataria Introduction
    Baeyer’s Angle Strain Theory For B.Sc. Sem-II Organic Chemistry: US02CCHE01 By Dr. Vipul B. Kataria Introduction Van’t Hoff and Lebel proposed tetrahedral geometry of carbon. The bond angel is of 109˚ 28' (or 109.5˚) for carbon atom in tetrahedral geometry (methane molecule). Baeyer observed different bond angles for different cycloalkanes and also observed some different properties and stability. On this basis, he proposed angle strain theory. The theory explains reactivity and stability of cycloalkanes. Baeyer proposed that the optimum overlap of atomic orbitals is achieved for bond angel of 109.5o. In short, it is ideal bond angle for alkane compounds. Effective and optimum overlap of atomic orbitals produces maximum bond strength and stable molecule. If bond angles deviate from the ideal then ring produce strain. Higher the strain higher the instability. Higher strain produce increased reactivity and increases heat of combustion. Baeyer proposed “any deviation of bond angle from ideal bond angle value (109.5o) will produce a strain in molecule. Higher the deviation lesser the instability”. Que.1 Discuss Baeyer’s angle strain theory using concept of angle strain. Baeyer’s theory is based upon some assumptions as following. 1. All ring systems are planar. Deviation from normal tetrahedral angles results in to instable cycloalkanes. 2. The large ring systems involve negative strain hence do not exists. 3. The bond angles in cyclohexane and higher cycloalkanes (cycloheptane, cyclooctane, cyclononane……..) are not larger than 109.5o because the carbon rings of those compounds are not planar (flat) but they are puckered (Wrinkled). 1 | Page These assumptions are helpful to understand instability of cycloalkane ring systems.

  • As a Precursor for Ring Opening and Expansion Dissertation Zur
    Peraryl-substituted Cyclotrisilene (c-Si3R4) as a Precursor for Ring Opening and Expansion Dissertation Zur Erlangung des Grades des Doktors der Naturwissenschaften der Naturwissenschaftlich-Technischen Fakultät, der Universität des Saarlandes vorgelegt von M. Sc. Hui Zhao Saarbrücken 08.2018 II Tag des Kolloquiums: 06. 12. 2018 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Guido. Kickelbick Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. David Scheschkewitz Prof. Dr. Guido Kickelbick Vorsitz: Prof. Dr. Michael Springborg Akademischer Mitarbeiter: Dr. Volker Huch III IV Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand in der Zeit von Oktober 2014 bis August 2018 an der Universität des Saarlandes, Naturwissenschaftlich-Technische Fakultät, Fachrichtung Chemie, im Arbeitskreis von Herrn Prof. Dr. David Scheschkewitz. V VI Kurzzusammenfassung Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit liegt auf dem Untersuchen der Reaktivität von peraryl-substituierten Cyclotrisilenen (c-Si3Tip4) gegenüber verschiedenen kleinen Molekülen. Die Reaktion von c-Si3Tip4 mit Styrol und Diketon liefert zugleich weitere Hinweise auf einen dritten Reaktionsmechanismus, die Ringöffnungsreaktion zu Disilenylsilylenen, die Siliciumversion von vinyl-Carbenen. Die beschriebene Synthese von 1,2,3-Trisilacyclopentadienederivaten, durch die Reaktion von c-Si3Tip4 mit Alkinen, stellt eine neue Methode zur Herstellung von cyclischen, konjugierten C=C−Si=Si Systemen dar. Si3E-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane and Si3E2-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane (E = S, Se, Te) werden erhalten durch die Additionsreaktionen von c-Si3Tip4 mit Chalkogenen. Die thermische Isomerisierung zu 2-Chalcogena-1,3,4-trisilacyclobutenen wird durch die NMR-spektroskopischen Daten nahegelegt und durch die Isolierung des Hydrolyseprodukts 2-Tellura-1,3,4-trisilacyclobuten gestützt. VII VIII Abstract This thesis concentrates mainly on the reactivity study of a peraryl-substituted cyclotrisilene (c-Si3Tip4) towards various small molecules.
