Bond Alignment

For every bond, the difference between its direction and the nearest principal axis is calculated. 

An angle is chosen which, when the molecule is rotated by that value, will bring the largest number of bonds into alignment. 

It is beneficial to weight terms such that 45° is preferred to 30°, and 30° is preferred to 15°.

Unrecognized bugs in the implementation, especially in angle manipulations.

The conformation of the approach in B2 naturally produces intermediate B3 with the new Zr-H and N-H bonds aligned parallel on the outwardly bent face of the Zr2N2 core, as in the case of A3 and the first H2 addition. However, the energetics of the reactions A1+ H2 - A3 and Bl + H2 —> B3 are slightly different with the constrained optimization, the former is exothermic by 4.9 kcal/mol, while the latter is endothermic by 7.9 kcal/mol, which, as explained above, is due to the "crowding" around ( 7 coordinate) Zr2 in B3. 

Not all fibers yield fibers on comminution. Fibrous varieties of quartz (Si02), for example, are formed from tightly bonded, aligned helical fibers that cannot be separated mechanically (Frondel, 1978). Fibrous calcite (CaCOa), when crushed or ground, breaks into equant grains of rhombic shape. The fragments reflect the cleavage characteristics of the mineral. 

The heat of hydrogenation of buta-1,3-diene is about 17 kJ/mol (4.0 keal/mol) less than twice that of but-l-ene, showing that buta-1,3-diene has a resonance energy of 17 kJ/mol. Figure 15-2 shows the most stable conformation of buta-1,3-diene. Note that this conformation is planar, with the p orbitals on the two pi bonds aligned. 

In Chapter 11. p. 270, you saw that bonds aligned in a W arrangement can give rise to 4Jhh coupling. 

General reviews of the use of oxide semiconductors for the photoelectrolysis of water are contained in Refs. 62 and 65 (see Table 1). Eleven binary and ternary oxides were examined in Ref. 62. Linear correlations were presented between the flat band potential, Vtb of these oxides and their band gap energy (Eg) and between Vm and the heat of formation of the oxide per metal atom per metal-oxygen bond. Aligning all the oxide energy levels on a common scale, these authors noted62 that the position of the conduction band varies much more than those of valence bands - a trend expected from the cationic (d-band) character of the conduction band in the oxide while the valence band is mainly of 0(2p) character. The latter should be relatively independent of the oxide parentage in terms of the metal. 

Furthermore, compounds containing triple bonds can be obtained from sp hybrid orbitals, sp hybridisation produces two orbitals oriented at 180° to each other, as shown by the filled lobes in Fig. 1.4(a), which can form co-linear cr-bonds. This leaves two p-electrons, shown by the shaded lobes in Fig. 1.4(a), which are free to form rc-bonds aligned with the cr-bond, as in acetylene, C2H2, shown in Fig. 1.4(b). 

The experimental observations indicate that this defect has one hydrogen atom primarily bound to an oxygen atom with the 0-H bond aligned close to the c axis. H-I is observed in all our nominally undoped VP ZnO samples. We propose that interstitial hydrogen at the BCy site is the most likely candidate for this center. Here, the S5unbol stands for the configuration... 

If the C=C bonds are more than 4.6 A apart, the reaction does not take place. As molecules need to have double bonds aligned and about 4 A apart for such photoreactions, it is sometimes possible to force the required molecule to crystallize with a unit cell dimension of this length. For example, mercuric chloride crystallizes with one unit cell dimension of 4.33 A, and its complex with coumarin maintains this unit-cell length. The required 4 A packing distance can also be obtained by use of chlo-...

In axial attack the C -Hax bond is aligned with the 7ic=o orbital (H ju-Cc,()-C -C/ dihedral angle 179 ). The Ca-Cfj bond aligns better in the equatorial attack transition structure (Hnu-Cc-=o-C -C/5 dihedral 170=).
