Carbon atoms, energy variation

The r-delocalisation in the parent phospholide anion I (Fig. 3, R =R =H) can be expressed in the valence bond picture by resonance between the canonical structures lA-IC (and their mirror images). Phosphonio-sub-stituents (R =R =PH3 ) increase the weight of the 1,2-dipolaric canonical structure IB and induce thus, in essence, a partial r-bond localisation and a shift of r-electron density from the phosphorus to the adjacent carbon atoms [16]. Consequences of this effect are the decrease in delocalisation energy for reaction (1) depicted in Fig. 4, and lower C2-C3/C4-C5 and higher C3-C4 bond orders which are reproduced in concomitant variations of computed bond distances [16]. 

A variation on Scheme 27 and Equation (19) has been utilized by Keeffe and the author to evaluate p fas of alkyl, aryl and alkoxy carbenes.26 For carboca-tions for which the pKA for loss of a proton from a (3-carbon atom is known, combination of this pKA with the experimental or calculated energy difference between alkene and carbene conjugate bases leads to the pAa for protonation of the carbene, provided it can be assumed that the energy difference between alkene and carbene is insensitive to solvent. Where a pKA for loss of a (3-hydrogen of the carbocation is not accessible, for example, for carbenes lacking a (3-hydrogen, p fR can be used instead. Thus the cycle of Scheme 28 relates a pKa for protonation of the carbene to an experimentally measured...

The reaction of hybridization tetrahedron on the changes of local geometry can be considered in the linear response approximation eq. (3.133). It is clear that any variation of the valence angle is a sum of equal amounts of hybridization- compatible and hybridization- incompatible deformations. The denominator in the linear response relation eq. (3.133) is the same as for eq. (3.136) while the relevant block of the yxyqE matrix (with q taken as a difference of two opposite valence angles) is proportional to For the methane molecule with the carbon atom put in the origin of the coordinate frame, substitution of matrices of second derivatives for the energy... 

Table 2 Results of Variational Localized-site Cluster expansions from either a Neel-state based ansatze or a Resonating Valence Bond ansatz. We notice that the lower level NSBA is unable of showing the dimerization of polyacetylene. rc is the critical bifurcation mean bond length, r and r2 are the optimized short and long bond distances (in A). E is the energy per carbon atom (in eV), taking the energy of the Neel state with 1.40 A equal bond lengths as zero of energy. NSB forth order perturbative and Dimer-covering second order perturbative (see Ref. 34), CEPA ab-initio estimate of Kpnig and Stollhoff [52], and the experimental results [46,47] for rx and r2 have been added for comparison.

The relative reactivities of the ortho, meta and para carbon atoms should be proportional to the electron availability at these sites and+the relative probability of collision with a given NOT ion. It should be possible to calculate the sterfc effects on the collision frequencies and apply molecular orbital theory to determine the relative reactivities of the various sites. However, a more practical approach would be to assume that all the five carbon atoms encounter nitronium ions at equal frequencies and attribute the differences in the reactivity of the different positions to differences in the activation energies associated with those sites. According to this model, temperature is the only variable that affects the isomer ratio. Our plant experience indicates that this model is adequate for explaining and controlling the variation of the isomer ratio.
