Isomer multiple branched

Naturally occurring examples have fatty acids with an even number of carbon atoms, usually 10 to 20 without any branches. Double bonds are only present as the cis isomer. At least one double bond is present in an unsaturated fat multiple double bonds are present in a polyunsaturated fat.

Plan For (a) to (c), we refer to Table 15.2. We first name the longest chain [root- + -am). Then we find the lowest branch numbers by counting C atoms from the end closer to a branch. Finally, we name each branch root- + -yt) and put the names alphabetically before the chain name. For (d) and (e), the longest chain that includes the multiple bond is numbered from the end closer to it. For (d), the chiral center is the C atom bonded to four different groups. In (e), the cis isomer has larger groups on the same side of the double bond, and the trans isomer has them on opposite sides. 

Hyperbranched polymers also possess a dendritic architecture, but with imperfect branching. The basic structural features present in these molecules are the same as in dendrimers, namely, a core surrounded by layers of BC capped with terminal units. The one-pot syntheses used to create these treelike stmctures also rely upon AB -type monomers (Scheme 30.1), but without protecting groups preventing simultaneous condensation reactions. The resulting polymers typically have broad MWD ( ) > 2), with multiple isomers and geometries. Because they are created in a single reaction step, hyperbranched polymers are more economical to produce than dendrimers as their synthesis is less time and resource intensive. This trait represents a major draw for industry and the development of commercial applications for dendritic polymers... 

For alkanes with four or more carbon atoms, there are actually multiple possible structures having the same formula. The structures shown in Table 4.1 are known as straight-chain forms, because all of the carbon atoms are linked from end to end in a single chain. Other forms involve branched chains, similar to what we saw in Section 2.8 for polyethylene. Two or more structures with the same chemical formula are called isomers. For C5H12, three possible isomers exist. In addition to the straight-chain form shown in Table 4.1, we could also have the two... 

Factoring Ch(x) of acyclic graphs can be often accomplished by expressing their characteristic polynomials in terms of the characteristic polynomials of the n-alkanes illustrated in Table 4.1, for which we will here use the notation L . For illustrations of characteristic polynomials of several families of branched alkanes, including characteristic polynomials of 35 isomers of -nonane as well as characteristic polynomials of 20 monocyclic structures with pending bonds, see ref. [45]. The multiplication table of polynomials (see Table 4.2) [49], which facilitates finding factors of characteristic polynomials when expressed in terms of L, is very simple.
