Atomic weight trans

The work of Burt and Edgar is discussed in the report for 1919-20 of the International Committee on Atomic Weights, Trans. Chem. Soc., 1919, 115, 880. Taking into account the researches of Morley, Noyes, and others upon the synthesis and analysis of water, the Committee considers the most probable general mean for the atomic weight of hydrogen to be 1-0078, and the approximate value 1-008 to be most suitable for ordinary use. 

To place this argument in perspective assume that both trans and cis adducts were equally likely. Then stereoselectivity would not be observed. All of the adducts to base atoms listed in Table XII for trans addition correspond to the sterically forbidden possibilities for cis addition and vice versa. Therefore, l(+) and i(-) isomers would bind equally well to N2(g). This does not occur. Rather the favored Sjj2 reaction over the Sjjl reaction weights trans addition heavily. Therefore, in our interpretation of experimental yields, the smaller yield of i(-) with N2(G) is predicted to be a cis addition product. The argument can be extended to demonstrate that trans l(-)-N6(A) and 06(G) and cis l(+)-N6(A) and 06(G) adducts should be expected. 

Like other isomers, two cis-trans isomers have the same atomic weight. They also yield the same elements when decomposed.

Trans., 171,1003, 1880) and R. J. Strutt (Phil. Mag., [6], 1,311,1901) have asked, Do the atomic weights of the elements approximate as closely to whole numbers as can reasonably be accounted for by an accidental coincidence In other words Are there common-sense grounds for believing the truth of Prout s law, that the atomic weights of the other elements are exact multiples of that of hydrogen ... 

How closely does the arithmetical mean approximate to the absolute truth To illustrate, we may use the results of Crookes model research on the atomic weight of thallium (Phil. Trans., 163, 277, 1874). Crooke s determination of this constant gave 203-628 203 632 203 636 203 638 203 6391...

Hydrogenation of polybutadiene converts both cis and trans isomers to the same linear structure and vinyl groups to ethyl branches. A polybutadiene sample of molecular weight 168,000 was found by infrared spectroscopy to contain double bonds consisting of 47.2% cis, 44.9% trans, and 7.9% vinyl. After hydrogenation, what is the average number of backbone carbon atoms between ethyl side chains ... 

The formation of ester via reaction (11) of Figure 12.10 deserves some further attention as it is not one of the elementary steps discussed in Chapter 2. One possible mechanism is the direct, outer-sphere attack of an alcohol or alkoxide at the acyl carbon atom, similar to the reaction of acid halides and alcohols (17-18 in Figure 12.13). This reaction is accessible for both cis and trans diphosphine complexes 12 and 13. Since monophosphines give mainly trans acyl complexes 13, not suited for insertion reactions, they were thought to have a preference for making esters or low molecular weight products. Trans complexes do form esters in reactions with alcohols or alkoxides, but this does not give direct information about the mechanism [42,43,44],...
