These various photoproducts are all valence isomers of the normal benzenoid structure. These alternative bonding patterns are reached from the excited state, but it is difficult to specify a precise mechanism. The presence of the t-butyl groups introduces a steric factor that works in favor of the photochemical valence isomerism. Whereas the t-butyl groups are coplanar with the ring in the aromatic system, the geometry of the bicyclic products results in reduced steric interactions between adjacent t-butyl groups. 

The existence of alternative bond paths through a molecular skeleton as a consequence of the presence of cyclic subunits gives rise to a topological complexity which is proportional to the degree of internal connectivity. Topological strategies are those aimed at the retrosynthetic reduction of connectivity. 

Limitations in the VOCs emissions wUl certainly push the shoe industry to use alternative bonding technologies to the current solvent-based surface preparations. Several limitations are found in the removal or substitution of solvents in shoe bonding, such as the use of new equipments and machinery, the modification in the procedure to produce bonding, costs increase, and difficulty in bonding some materials without the use of solvents.

Alternatively, bond cleavage of the 2-3 C-C bond between the radical centres can occur to form an alkene and an enol. The enol rapidly... 

It is well known that crystal and electronic structures are interdependent and define the reactivity of chemical substances. In Section 1.4.2, it was noted that copper-porphyrin complex gives cation-radicals with significant reactivity at the molecular periphery. This reactivity appears to be that of nucleophilic attack on this cation-radical, which belongs to n-type. The literature sources note, however, some differences in the reactivity of individual positions. A frequently observed feature in these n-cation derivatives is the appearance of an alternating bond distance pattern in the inner ring of porphyrin consistent with a localized structure rather than the delocalized structure usually ascribed to cation-radical. A pseudo Jahn-Teller distortion has been named as a possible cause of this alternation, and it was revealed by X-ray diffraction method (Scheidt 2001). 

Cyclooctatetraene, CgHg, has a D2g tublike structure with four rather isolated double bonds. Cyclooctatetraenes can be the products of the catalytic cyclotetramerization of alkynes, and cyclobutadienes may be the intermediates. The BN homologues of cyclooctatetraenes have been known since 1962 (67). Like cyclooctatetraene, molecules of [(SCN)BNtBu]4 were shown to have a tublike ring structure of S4 symmetry with alternating bond lengths of 140 and 146 pm, the shorter ones perpendicular to the direction of the S4 axis (68). 

The strongly colored planar fused bicyclic system (25) is quinonoid with distinctly alternating bond lengths 1.33-1.35 A and 1.42-1.44 A. A strong 7r-stacking interaction in the molecule (28) between tolyl and phenanthroline planes is evident (interplane distance is 3.3 A), as well as between tolyl and cyclopentadienyl planes (the distance is 3.61 A) which results in columns of stacked molecules. 

Following these ideas, Table 15.10 shows results of 6-3IG calculations of the TV system of normal benzene and benzene distorted to have alternating bond lengths matching standard double and single bonds, which we will call cyclohexatriene. 

Many distonic radical ions are involved in unimolecular dissociation reactions. For example, the McLafferty rearrangement of carbonyl compounds proceeds by C—C bond cleavage of distonic ions. ° Alternatively, bond-cleavage reactions of cyclic molecular ions may generate distonic ions (see above).For example, C—C bond cleavage of cyclic ketone molecular ions (e.g., 61 " ) generates 62 ". ... 

In an alternant bonding network, the constituent atomic orbitals can be divided into two groups, starred and unstarred, in such a way that no two orbitals of like parity overlap directly (i.e., are adjacent).
