The technique of low-energy electron diffraction, LEED (Section VIII-2D), has provided a considerable amount of information about the manner in which a chemisorbed layer rearranges itself. Somotjai [13] has summarized LEED results for a number of systems. Some examples are collected in Fig. XVlII-1. Figure XVIII-la shows how N atoms are arranged on a Fe(KX)) surface [14] (relevant to ammonia synthesis) even H atoms may be located, as in Fig. XVIII-Ih [15]. Figure XVIII-Ic illustrates how the structure of the adsorbed layer, or adlayer, can vary wiA exposure [16].f There may be a series of structures, as with NO on Ru(lOTO) [17] and HCl on Cu(llO) [18]. Surface structures of... 

A more common arrangement for EM4 species is the square pyramidal array with E occupying the apical vertex (51), which is related to the octahedral E2M4 (52) and EM5 (53) arrangements. Note that 51 is the structural isomer of 46 where the E atom adopts the apical rather than the basal position. These compounds are listed in Tables XVIII-XX, whereas Table XXI lists a number of more complicated molecules that have several... 

When heated at 150 C in xylene for 24 h with an excess of phospholes, Santini showed that complexes of type XVI gave sandwich complexes of type XVIII with a head-to-tail configuration which were fully characterized including an X-ray crystal structure analysis. Depending on the starting materials, a number of mixed homo- and hetero-bimetallic sandwiches could be obtained. On the basis of structural and NMR data, it appears that there is a strong through-space interaction between the non-bonded iron and phosphorus atoms in these complexes. 

Cation XV opens a number of routes because the quaternary nitrogen atom elicits a high degree of electrophilicity in all its vicinal carbons. Of the three a carbons in XV, the methylene carbon of the cyclobutane portion of the molecule should be the more favorable site for bimolecular nucleophilic attack by the methanol solvent, owing to the release of ring strain. This attack would directly yield the observed products III and XII. Supporting evidence for the existence of XV is found in the isolation of XVIII [Eq. (3) of Scheme 40.3] during the photolysis of I and butadiene in methanol. ... 

Ferrocene forms charge-transfer complexes with a number of acceptor molecules (4, 16, 17 21 j 22, 46, 65), of which that with tetracyanoethylene isolated as a green crystalline substance 4.6, 65) is perhaps the best characterized. In view of the electron-donor properties of the metal atom, it has been suggested that its structure might best be represented by XIX, rather than by the more classical formulation XVIII (4 ). 

Table XVIII has been subdivided according to the number of component rings, with monocyclic systems first (XVIIIA), and polycyclic systems second (XVIIIB). Within each ring classification, rings are arranged by size, and within each group by the increasing number of component carbon atoms.

As shown in Table XVIII, the phosphate species produced by the hydrolysis of sodium meta-arsenate-phosphate is not a single component, but is composed of a mixture of polyphosphates. With the increase of the P/As ratio of meta-arsenate-phosphate, the amounts of polyphosphates with longer chain lengths increase. These facts indicate that arsenic atoms are inserted in the framework of the meta-arsenate-phosphate anion 19, and that the number of phosphorus atoms of the phosphate chain between two arsenic atoms is not constant, but distributed statistically. 

To first order, the 7 moments are equal to the equilibrium moments of inertia 7 . The above procedure is repeated for another parent species. Once a sufficient number of 7 for different parent isotopic species have been determined, the moment-of-inertia equations may be solved to give the structure. The structure for SO2 is given in Table XVIII. This measure of the molecular structure has limited applicability because of the large amount of precise isotopic moment-of-inertia data required and because the first-order approximation 7 = 7 is not sufficient especially for light atoms. Thus, hydrogen bond lengths cannot be determined by this method.
