Carbon atomic structure

Later, the name diamondoids was chosen for all the higher cage hydrocarbon compounds of this series because they have the same structure as the diamond lattice highly symmetrical and strain-free so that their carbon atom structure can be superimposed on a diamond lattice, as shown in Fig. 5 for adamantane, diamantane, and triamantane. These compounds are also known as adamanto-logs and polymantanes. 

Nevertheless the unexpectedly long bonds, (7-11,8-12), are well predicted as are the veiy short bonds (3-7,4-8,9-11,10-12). All of these bonds are part of the hexagonal carbon atom structure. On the other hand the bonds of the neighbouring pentagons, 3-5,5-6,etc., are certainly out of place although still qualitatively in the right order. Presumably these bonds have absorbed most of the residual distortion of die defect for geometrical reasons. 

The bacterial strains were submitted to the National Collection of Microorganism Cultures of the Pasteur Institute (CNCM) and included R. erythropolis CNCM 1-2204, -2205, -2207, and -2208, and/or R. rhodnii 1-2206. The activity of the microorganisms includes a selective attack on the carbon-sulfur bonds in the organic molecules without significant alteration of the carbon atom structure. As usual, strains were isolated and subjected to successive enrichment phases, in media containing various sources of carbon and DBT as the only sulfur source, then a purification of the enhanced culture led to the fifteen DBT specific strains. From those strains, a subset of ten strains was selected... 

Four asymmetric carbon atoms (structures 641 and 642) were created in the reaction of nitrone (637a) with bislactam (640) (Scheme 2.279). 

More novel results were published in the area of the isomeric [l,2,4]triazolo[l,5-c]pyrimidine ring system. In Table 16, a few applications of earlier known methodologies are shown. All these compounds were synthesized by transformation of 4-imino-3-aminopyrimidine or analogous derivatives by reagents providing a one-carbon-atom structural unit (e.g., carboxylic acids or derivatives). 

SOAPS. Chemically, a soap is defined as any salt of a fatly acid containing 8 or more carbon atoms. Structurally a soap consists of a hydrophilic (water compatible) carboxylic add which is attached to a hydrophobic (water repellent) hydrocarbon. Soap molecules thus combine two types of behavior in one structure part of the molecule is attracted to water and the other part is attracted to oil. This feature underlies the function of these materials as surface active agents, or surfactants. Soaps are one class of surfactants. The other classes generally are called detergents.

Let us now consider those formulae containing four tt bonds between adjacent carbon atoms and one elongated tt bond (structures IV to XIX in Table XXI). Of these structures eight are of the Dewar type where the distance between the carbon atoms is 2-8 A (structures IV to XI) four contain a bond between carbon atoms 3 61 A apart (structures XII to XV), two contain a bond between carbon atoms 3 65 A apart (structures XVI and XVII) and there are two with a distance of 5 A between the carbon atoms (structures XVIII and XIX). The strength of the tt bonds decreases considerably with the increase of distance and when this becomes as much as 5 A (as in structures XVIII and XIX) the resulting bond contributes very Httle energy to the stability of the molecule.

Once again, orbital hybridization provides an explanation for the bonding of the carbon atoms. Structurally, the hydrogen and carbon atoms of acetylene molecules lie in a straight line. This same linearity of the triple bond and the two atoms attached to the triple-bonded carbons is found in all alkynes. These characteristics are explained by mixing a 2s and a single 2p orbital of each carbon to form a pair of sp hybrid orbitals. Two of the 2p orbitals of each carbon are unhybridized (see > Figures 2.9 and 2.10). 

Esters of glycerol, called glycerol triesters, triacylglycerols, or triglycerides, are abundant natural products. The most important group of glycerol triesters includes those in which each acyl group is unbranched and has 14 or more carbon atoms. Structurally related phosphatidylcholine is a component of cell membranes (Section 24.4).

In Table 8.1, we have listed as novel three distance-based matrices the square root distance matrix, the -root distance matrix, and the distance squared matrix, but not because they are new in content and not resembling something already known or that they are original in conception. They are certainly not new because they have been already used in physics and mathematics. However, because they appear to be of potential interest for chemistry and are unknown in chemical literature, one may consider them as a novelty for chemistry. In Table 8.3, we have illustrated the square root distance matrix and the n-root distance matrix, again for the case of 3-methylhexane and norbomane, a bicyclic also seven carbon atom structure. We start with the square root and n-root distance matrix and will discuss the distance squared matrix later.

Vitamin K,(20) (VKl), or phylloquinone, is the generic name of 2-methyl-3-eicosa-2 -ene-l,4-naphthoquinone. The (2 -tram-) phytyl side chain in position 3 of the naphthoquinone nucleus contains 20 carbon atoms, structured in four isoprene units, the last three of them totally reduced (see Structure 1 in Fig. 1). If a synthetic VKl is analyzed, always a mixture of di/trans -isomers can be detected, deriving from synthetic phytol, which consists of a mixture of these isomers. VKl in pure form an orange oil and a fat-soluble vitamin is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and can be easily solved in ether, hexane. 

For polyacrylates. Sc phases have been observed tor a short spacer (2 CH> groups) and long spacers (10-11 CHj groups) [13], but not in the medium range (4-8 CH groups). With a chiral branching in the spacer a Sc phase was found with a spacer length of six carbon atoms (structure 20) [25]. 

Cumulated triene F is achiral. It has a plane of symmetry passing through all six carbon atoms. Structure F has a trans configuration. The cis diastereomer is the only other possible stereoisomer. 

While the aromatic ring of methyl w-nitrobenzoate is also expected to be just as deficient in electron density as that of the para isomer, the positive charge on the ring never occupies the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl carbon atom (structure B). So, the electron deficiency (electrophilicity) at the carbonyl carbon atom is not as large as that of the para isomer. Thus, the reaction rate is not as large as that of the para isomer. 

Adamantane and other light diamondoids are constituents of petroleum and they deposit in natural gas and petroleum crude oil pipelines causing fouling [13,16,17]. Adamantane was originally discovered and isolated from Czechoslovakian petroleum in 1933. The isolated substance was named adamantane, from the Greek for diamond. This name was chosen because it has the same structure as the diamond lattice, highly symmetrical and strain free. Acmally their carbon atom structure can be superimposed upon a diamond lattice. It is generally accompanied by small amounts of alkylated adamantane 2-methyl- 1-ethyl- and probably 1-methyl- 1,3-dimethyl and others.
