The phenomenon of tautomerism comprises many different types of which the prototropic tautomerism that we consider here is only one. Prototropic tautomerism exists when the two tautomers differ only in the position of a proton (this is, of course, an approximation there are other differences between two tautomers, for example, in precise bond lengths). Other important types of tautomerism include the following (1) anioniotropy, where the two tautomers differ only in the position of an anion, which moves from one place to another in the molecule (2) cationiotropy, where the two tautomers differ in the position of a cation (other than a proton), which moves from one place to another in the molecule (3) ring-chain tautomerism and (4) bond-valence tautomerism.

We said in Section 1.5 that chemists use two models for describing covalent bonds valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory. Having now seen the valence bond approach, which uses hybrid atomic orbitals to account for geometry and assumes the overlap of atomic orbitals to account for electron sharing, let s look briefly at the molecular orbital approach to bonding. We ll return to the topic in Chapters 14 and 15 for a more in-depth discussion. 

As the most notable contribution of ab initio studies, it was revealed that the different modes of molecular deformation (i.e. bond stretching, valence angle bending and internal rotation) are excited simultaneously and not sequentially at different levels of stress. Intuitive arguments, implied by molecular mechanics and other semi-empirical procedures, lead to the erroneous assumption that the relative extent of deformation under stress of covalent bonds, valence angles and internal rotation angles (Ar A0 AO) should be inversely proportional to the relative stiffness of the deformation modes which, for a typical polyolefin, are 100 10 1 [15]. A completly different picture emerged from the Hartree-Fock calculations where the determined values of Ar A0 AO actually vary in the ratio of 1 2.4 9 [91].

Lewis s theory of the chemical bond was brilliant, but it was little more than guesswork inspired by insight. Lewis had no way of knowing why an electron pair was so important for the formation of covalent bonds. Valence-bond theory explained the importance of the electron pair in terms of spin-pairing but it could not explain the properties of some molecules. Molecular orbital theory, which is also based on quantum mechanics and was introduced in the late 1920s by Mul-liken and Hund, has proved to be the most successful theory of the chemical bond it overcomes all the deficiencies of Lewis s theory and is easier to use in calculations than valence-bond theory.

These conventions divide molecular electrons into three groups. Core electrons are purely atomic in nature and do not appear in Lewis stmctures. Bonding valence electrons are shared between atoms and appear as lines. Nonbonding valence electrons are localized on atoms and appear as dots. 

A fragment is an atom or group of atoms bounded by ICs and all except hydrogen are considered polar. A fragment may have many internal bonds, but those connecting it to ICs are called valence bonds. Valence bonds are most often single, but can be aromatic. Polar fragments can interact in various ways.

Within the computational scheme described in the course of this work, the available information about the atomic substructure (core+valence) can be taken into account explicitly. In the simplest possible calculation, a fragment of atomic cores is used, and a MaxEnt distribution for valence electrons is computed by modulation of a uniform prior prejudice. As we have shown in the noise-free calculations on l-alanine described in Section 3.1.1, the method will yield a better representation of bonding and non-bonding valence charge concentration regions, but bias will still be present because of Fourier truncation ripples and aliasing errors ... 

Typical Ni—L bond lengths have been extracted from the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD) and listed in tabular form.321 Also, Ni11—L bond lengths from the CSD have been analyzed by the BDBO technique, which is related to the bond valence model (BVM) where the total bond order is equal to the oxidation state of any atom.322 Selected mean Ni—L distances from the CSD source are collected in Table 2. 

Several quantum-chemical studies have been performed on Hg(CN)2 and related species, applying different approaches with consideration of relativistic effects in order to get MO schemes and energies as a basis for discussion of bonding, valence XPS,105 UPS,106 XANES and EXAFS spectra.41 The latter study also showed Hg(CN)2 to be dissolved in H20 in molecular form (/-(Hg—C) 202, r(C—N) 114 pm), and obviously not to be hydrated, a remarkable finding insofar as solvates of Hg(CN)2 with various donor molecules are well known.2 However, in contrast to Cd(CN)2 (see above), Hg(CN)2 as such does not form clathrates. 

For example, consider the TIC and TiN pair. Their lattice parameters are 4.32 A, and 4.23 A, respectively the difference is only two percent. Together with their mutual solubility (Schwarzkopf and Kieffer, 1953) this suggests that they have the same number of bonding valence electrons, although atomic carbon has four valence electrons, and atomic nitrogen has five. The extra nitrogen electron must be in a non-bonding state. This contradicts the valence electron concentrations assumed by Jhi et al., 1999.

The bond valence of a hydrogen bond depends on the H "O donor-acceptor distance [144, 145] which in turn also correlates with the proton chemical shift [146]. A combination of Eq. (1) in [144] and Eq. (54) of [146] yields an empirical correlation between a hydrogen bond valence, s0..., H, and proton chemical shifts ...

The hydrogen bond formation decreases the frequency of the O—H bond valence vibration (see Section 4.2.3). Two configurations of tertiary hydroperoxides are known E- and Z-configurations. The activation barrier for transition from Z- to /i-configuration is found to be equal to 195 kJ mol 1 (quantum-chemical calculation [64]).
