Bond arrangement

In this chapter, three methods for measuring the frequencies of the vibrations of chemical bonds between atoms in solids are discussed. Two of them, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR, and Raman Spectroscopy, use infrared (IR) radiation as the probe. The third, High-Resolution Electron Enetgy-Loss Spectroscopy, HREELS, uses electron impact. The fourth technique. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR, is physically unrelated to the other three, involving transitions between different spin states of the atomic nucleus instead of bond vibrational states, but is included here because it provides somewhat similar information on the local bonding arrangement around an atom.

A diatomic molecule is polar if its bond is polar. A polyatomic molecule is polar if it has polar bonds arranged in space in such a way that the dipole moments associated with the bonds do not cancel. 

The inclusion of both covalent and intermetallic crystals in Chapter 6 is predicated on the close relation between the covalent and metallic bonds, as discussed in Chapter 3. SP 54 and SP 55 are beautiful examples of the complexity of the atomic packing and bonding arrangements in alloy structures, which fascinated Pauling. 

The hydrogen-bonded arrangement in p-(HOMe2Si)2C6H4 is much more complicated than the other simple disilanols described earlier. There are three crystallographically independent types of molecules in the unit cell. Two are joined by hydrogen bonds to form chains, while...

The important bluish mixing component 11.22 for whitening polyester is made by Friedel-Crafts acylation of pyrene (Scheme 11.17). This tetracyclic hydrocarbon is not unlike anthracene in its susceptibility to substitution reactions. The most stable bond arrangement in pyrene appears to be that shown as form 11.47a, which contains three benzenoid (b) rings. Canonical form 11.47b, containing only two such rings, contributes to a lesser extent (Scheme 11.18). In all monosubstitutions, pyrene is attacked initially at the 3-position, corresponding to the a-positions in anthracene or naphthalene. 

The bonding arrangement of the four H atoms around each Be is approximately tetrahedral.
