  • Molecular Orbital Theory
    Molecular Orbital Theory The Lewis Structure approach provides an extremely simple method for determining the electronic structure of many molecules. It is a bit simplistic, however, and does have trouble predicting structures for a few molecules. Nevertheless, it gives a reasonable structure for many molecules and its simplicity to use makes it a very useful tool for chemists. A more general, but slightly more complicated approach is the Molecular Orbital Theory. This theory builds on the electron wave functions of Quantum Mechanics to describe chemical bonding. To understand MO Theory let's first review constructive and destructive interference of standing waves starting with the full constructive and destructive interference that occurs when standing waves overlap completely. When standing waves only partially overlap we get partial constructive and destructive interference. To see how we use these concepts in Molecular Orbital Theory, let's start with H2, the simplest of all molecules. The 1s orbitals of the H-atom are standing waves of the electron wavefunction. In Molecular Orbital Theory we view the bonding of the two H-atoms as partial constructive interference between standing wavefunctions of the 1s orbitals. The energy of the H2 molecule with the two electrons in the bonding orbital is lower by 435 kJ/mole than the combined energy of the two separate H-atoms. On the other hand, the energy of the H2 molecule with two electrons in the antibonding orbital is higher than two separate H-atoms. To show the relative energies we use diagrams like this: In the H2 molecule, the bonding and anti-bonding orbitals are called sigma orbitals (σ).

  • Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram 1
    Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram 1 Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram A molecular orbital diagram or MO diagram for short is a qualitative descriptive tool explaining chemical bonding in molecules in terms of molecular orbital theory in general and the Linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method (LCAO method) in particular [1] [2] [3] . This tool is very well suited for simple diatomic molecules such as dihydrogen, dioxygen and carbon monoxide but becomes more complex when discussing polynuclear molecules such as methane. It explains why some molecules exist and not others, how strong bonds are, and what electronic transitions take place. Dihydrogen MO diagram The smallest molecule, hydrogen gas exists as dihydrogen (H-H) with a single covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms. As each hydrogen atom has a single 1s atomic orbital for its electron, the bond forms by overlap of these two atomic orbitals. In figure 1 the two atomic orbitals are depicted on the left and on the right. The vertical axis always represents the orbital energies. The atomic orbital energy correlates with electronegativity as a more electronegative atom holds an electron more tightly thus lowering its energy. MO treatment is only valid when the atomic orbitals have comparable energy; when they differ greatly the mode of bonding becomes ionic. Each orbital is singly occupied with the up and down arrows representing an electron. The two AO's can overlap in two ways depending on their phase relationship. The phase of an orbital is a direct consequence of the oscillating, wave-like properties of electrons.

The original meanings of the words "aliphatic" (fatty) and "aromatic" (fragrant/ pleasant smell). Aromatic compounds are benzene and compounds that resemble benzene in chemical behavior. Aromatic properties are those properties of benzene that distinguish it from aliphatic hydrocarbons. Benzene: A liquid that smells like gasoline Boils at 80°C & Freezes at 5.5°C It was formerly used to decaffeinate coffee and component of many consumer products, such as paint strippers, rubber cements, and home dry-cleaning spot removers. A precursor in the production of plastics (such as Styrofoam and nylon), drugs, detergents, synthetic rubber, pesticides, and dyes. It is used as a solvent in cleaning and maintaining printing equipment and for adhesives such as those used to attach soles to shoes. Benzene is a natural constituent of petroleum products, but because it is a known carcinogen, its use as an additive in gasoline is now limited. In 1970s it was associated with leukemia deaths.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

    HETEROLEPTIC PADDLEWHEEL COMPLEXES AND MOLECULAR ASSEMBLIES OF DIMOLYBDENUM AND DITUNGSTEN: A Study of Electronic and Structural Control DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By DOUGLAS J. BROWN, B.S., M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor MALCOLM H. CHISHOLM, Advisor Professor CLAUDIA TURRO _________________________________ Professor CHRISTOPHER M. HADAD Advisor Graduate Program in Chemistry ABSTRACT Molybdenum and tungsten have a rich chemistry in quadruply-bonded paddlewheel complexes that are very similar in many ways, yet significantly different in other ways. Details and findings from Density Functional Theory studies of homoleptic and heteroleptic ligand complexes as well as simple pairs of dimers linked by a bifunctional oxalate bridge are discussed. Special interest is given to metal-to-ligand interactions in paddlewheel complexes and metal-to-bridge interactions in simple pairs of dimers. Computational studies provide great insight, reliable explanations, and qualitative predictions of physicochemical properties. A new series of dimolybdenum and ditungsten paddlewheel complexes with i i mixed amidinate-carboxylate ligands of the form trans-M2(O2CCH3)2( PrNC(R)N Pr)2 where M = Mo, W and R = Me, C≡CtBu, C≡CPh, or C≡CFc have been synthesized and characterized with the exception of the tungsten complex where R = Me. The synthesis of a series of complexes with each metal allowed for the analysis and comparison of molecular structural features, spectroscopic properties, and electrochemical behavior. The dinuclear centers exhibit redox chemistry which is dependent upon the nature of the ancillary ligand, and the electrochemical properties can be tuned through ligand ii modifications.

  • Orbital Exchange Calculations: an Alternative View of the Chemical Bond Paul B
    Orbital Exchange Calculations: An Alternative View of the Chemical Bond Paul B. Merrithewa PO Box 120, Amherst, New Hampshire 03031-0120 USA Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore a model of the chemical bond which does not assume that the electrons of the chemical bonding electron pair can be unambiguously identified with either the left hand or right hand of the bonding atoms when their orbitals overlap to bond. In order to provide maximum flexibility in the selection of the electron’s orbitals, the orbitals have been represented as spatial arrays and the calculations performed numerically. This model of the chemical bond assumes that the identifiability of the bonding electrons is a function of 1-(overlap/(1+overlap)) where the overlap of the two bonding electron’s orbitals is calculated in the usual manner. The kinetic energy of the bonding electron pair and the energy required to meet the orthogonality requirements, mandated by the Pauli principle, are a function of overlap/(1+overlap). The model assumes that the bonding orbitals are straight-forward atomic orbitals or hybrids of these atomic orbitals. The results obtained by applying this simple approach to eleven di-atomics and seven common poly-atomics are quite good. The calculated bond lengths are generally within 0.005Å of the measured values and bond energies to within a few percent. Bond lengths for bonds to H are about 0.02 Å high. Except for H2, bond lengths are determined, independent of bond energy, at that point where overlap/(1+overlap) equals 0.5. I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the work described here is to test a model for the chemical bond that assumes that the two electrons of the bonding pair are not completely identifiable, with respect to their source atom, when their orbitals overlap.

Ethyne is a linear (commonname acetylene). molecule. The development of an orbital picture for ethyne requires us to go through the same steps that we used for methane and ethene: hybridiza- tion of carbon atomic orbitals and orbital overlap. As with methane and ethene,remember that each orbital representsone electron.The descrip- tion of ethyne that best flts the experimental data is obtained if the 2s atomic orbital of carbon is mixed with only one of the three available 2p atomic orbitals (Fig. f 1.11).The result of this mixing is two sp atomic orbitals; two 2p orbitals remain unused. Overlap of one of the sp hybrid orbitals of one carbon with that of another carbon producesa carbon-car- bon sigma bond.

  • Valence Bond Theory
    Valence Bond Theory • A bond is a result of overlapping atomic orbitals from two atoms. The overlap holds a pair of electrons. • Normally each atomic orbital is bringing one electron to this bond. But in a “coordinate covalent bond”, both electrons come from the same atom • In this model, we are not creating a new orbital by the overlap. We are simply referring to the overlap between atomic orbitals (which may or may not be hybrid) from two atoms as a “bond”. Valence Bond Theory Sigma (σ) Bond • Skeletal bonds are called “sigma” bonds. • Sigma bonds are formed by orbitals approaching and overlapping each other head-on . Two hybrid orbitals, or a hybrid orbital and an s-orbital, or two s- orbitals • The resulting bond is like an elongated egg, and has cylindrical symmetry. Acts like an axle • That means the bond shows no resistance to rotation around a line that lies along its length. Pi (π) Bond Valence Bond Theory • The “leftover” p-orbitals that are not used in forming hybrid orbitals are used in making the “extra” bonds we saw in Lewis structures.

    Chapter 1: Electronic Structure and Bonding Or A Brief Review of General Chemistry Part 2: Quantum Mechanics and Molecular Orbital Theory Review ideas from general chemistry: atoms, bonds, molecular geometry Hybrid Orbitals of Ethene, C2H4 Bonding in Ethene (Ethylene): A Double Bond The sigma bond is unaffected by rotation of one of the CH2 groups. The overlap of the p orbitals is disrupted by rotation of one of the CH2 groups. This would cause the double bond to break. Hybrid Orbitals of Ethene, C2H4 An sp2-Hybridized Carbon - The bond angle in the sp2 carbon is 120°. The sp2 carbon is the trigonal planar carbon. Molecular Orbital Theory So let’s look at Ethyne (Acetylene) .

Bond angle of the sp carbon: 180°. Molecular Orbital Theory + - + Molecular Orbital Theory Summary The sharing of one pair of electrons is a single bond. The sharing of two pairs gives a double bond. The sharing of three pairs gives a triple bond. The greater the electron density in the region of orbital overlap, the stronger the bond. The more s character, the shorter and stronger is the bond. The more s character, the larger is the bond angle. A bond is weaker than a bond.
