Bonding general types

Two general types of heterocyclic cations may be recognized those in which the charge results from an increase in the bonding number of an atom by the addition of a proton (or equivalent), and those in which the charge results from a decrease in the bonding number by removal of hydride. These two possibilities are shown for pyrrole in (167) and (168). 

Blasius and coworkers have offered a somewhat different approach to systems of this general type. In the first of these, shown in Eq. (6.20), he utilizes a hydroxymethyl-substituted 15-crown-5 residue as the nucleophile. This essentially similar to the Mon-tanari method. The second approach is a variant also, but more different in the sense that covalent bond formation is effected by a Friedel-Crafts alkylation. In the reaction... 

Enzymes are immobilized by a variety of methods. Two general types of immobilization procedures are used. The first-type procedures are based on weak interactions between the support and the enzyme and are classified as physical methods. The second-type procedures rest upon the formation of covalent bonds between the enzyme and the support and are classified as chemical methods. 

Assuming an approximately constant cohesive energy per C-C bond, that trend is understandable. With clusters on the above general type, the number of carbon atoms is 6N, the number of dangling bonds is 6N, and the number of C-C bonds is 9N -3N. The energy per bond shows a smoother trend, the numbers being 71.0, 77.6 and 79.9 kcal/mol, respectively. Alternatively, the energies can be fitted to a two-parameter expression of the form... 

The simple diols R2Si(OH)2 (R = Pr , Bul, c-C6Hn, and o-tolyl) form similar, but not identical, hydrogen-bonded chains. The structures of the Pr1 (305), Bu (40, 278), and c-C6Hn (292) compounds are very similar in that they comprise ladder chains of the general type 65, in which pairs of molecules are linked to form dimers and then further hydrogen bonds link the dimers to form the chains. [It has also been... 

Lewis considered covalent and ionic bonds to be two extremes of the same general type of bond in which an electron pair is shared between two atoms contributing to the valence shell of both the bonded atoms. In other words, in writing his structures Lewis took no account of the polarity of bonds. As we will see much of the subsequent controversy concerning hypervalent molecules has arisen because of attempts to describe polar bonds in terms of Lewis structures. 

In virtually all other W(CHR)(NAr)(OR )2 complexes only the syn alkylidene ro-tamer is observed readily [63]. It was not clear at the time why rotamers could be observed in this particular case and why they interconverted readily. Later it was shown that the reactivities of certain syn and anti species could differ by many orders of magnitude and that the rates of their interconversion also could differ by many orders of magnitude as OR was changed from O-t-Bu to OC-Me(CF3)2. Therefore in any system of this general type two different alkylidene rotamers could be accessible (although both may not be observable), either by rotation about the M=C bond, or as a consequence of the metathesis reaction itself. The presence of syn and anti rotamers further complicates the metathesis reaction at a molecular level, and at least in ROMP reactions (see below) in important ways. The apparent ease of interconversion of syn and anti rotamers in phenoxide complexes could be an important feature of systems in which access to both syn and anti rotamers must be assured (see later). 

In general, type II compounds show greater NO-releasing ability than type I N-nitrosamines. This can be explained by the electronic repulsion between the carbonyl oxygen and nitroso oxygen, or the attraction of the lone-pair electrons at nitrogen, by the carbonyl group both features weaken the N-NO bond. 

Over the years, a large number of models of water structure have been developed in an attempt to reconcile all the known physical properties of water and to arrive at a molecular description of water that accounts correctly for its behavior over a large range of thermodynamic conditions. Early models of water structure have been categorized by Fennema (1996) and Ball (2001) into three general types mixture, uniformist, and interstitial. Mixture models are based on the concept of intermolecular hydrogen bonds... 

Reaction of a sulfinyl sulfone with a nucleophile in the manner shown in (139) is, of course, an example of a nucleophilic substitution at sulfinyl sulfur. Reactions of this general type occur frequently and are of great importance in the chemistry of most kinds of sulfinic acid derivatives. At this point it would seem desirable to discuss what is known about such key aspects of their mechansim as stereochemistry and the timing of the bond-making and bond-breaking processes necessary in such a substitution. In doing this we will call upon results obtained from the study of such reactions using a variety of different types of sulfinic acid derivatives. 

The heavier group 13 metals E = Al, Ga, In, T1 form much weaker E-H than B-H bonds. Thus, the deltahedral hydrides E H 2- remain unknown. However, hydrides of these elements are well known to be less stable, i.e., to have lower decomposition temperatures than the corresponding alkyls. Consequently, replacement of the relatively weak E-H bonds with stronger E-C bonds has been shown recently to give stable deltahedral clusters of the general type E R Z (E = Al and Ga z = 0, 1, and 2 in the known examples). 

In /V,/V-dialkylated members of this group (1, A = NR, R2, B = H or alkyl), several authors have observed fast thermal isomerizations at the double bond, using the DNMR technique. Most compounds of this type also display hindered rotation about the C—N bond with substantial barriers (see, e.g., ref. 30). Compounds of the general type 9 and 10 (R = H or Me) with a variety of... 

The refractory compounds in the HMW DOM pool seems to be generated through abiotic reactions that act to link degradation products into macromolecules. These new chemical bonds create molecular structures that enhance the overall refractory nature of the DOM. The chemical changes lead to increased crosslinking, aromaticity, cyclization, esterification, and nitrogen depletion. The general types of chemical reactions responsible are oxidations, polymerizations, and condensations. Considerable debate exists as to whether these reactions are wholly abiotic or whether they are, at least in part, microbially mediated.
