Chain hydrogen molecules

Fig. 35.—(a) Stereo view of about a turn of the 3-fold double helix of potassium gellan (41). The two chains are drawn in open and filled bonds for distinction. Both intra- and inter-chain hydrogen bonds stabilize the helix. The vertical line is the helix axis. Octahedrally coordinated potassium ions (crossed circles) and triply hydrogen-bonded water molecules (open circles) located above the ions are integral components of the structure of 41. 

Three welan helices pass through the unit cell, as shown in Fig. 37b. Two of them, I and II, at (2A A0) and ( A2A0), are antiparallel as in gellan. A third helix, III, at (000) is new and parallel to the first. They are equilaterally 12.0 A apart from each other, 2.9 A farther than in 41. The unit cell contains a total of nine pentasaccharides surrounded by ordered guest molecules, which are accounted by six calcium ions and 75 water molecules. The two up and down helices interact via side chains, calcium ions, and/or water molecules. Specifically, helices I and II are linked only by side chain side chain hydrogen bonds... 

It is well estabhshed that sulfur compounds as well as elemental sulfur have the tendency to form long chain molecules. All of these substances can be regarded as derivatives of the hydrogen polysulfanes (or polysulfanes) H2S . Polysulfanes form a long series of homologous chain-like molecules since the number n can assume any value. S-S and S-H bonds are frequently found in chemical and biological systems. Thus, polysulfanes have been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies (for a recent review, see [15]). 

By ab initio MO and density functional theoretical (DPT) calculations it has been shown that the branched isomers of the sulfanes are local minima on the particular potential energy hypersurface. In the case of disulfane the thiosulfoxide isomer H2S=S of Cg symmetry is by 138 kj mol less stable than the chain-like molecule of C2 symmetry at the QCISD(T)/6-31+G // MP2/6-31G level of theory at 0 K [49]. At the MP2/6-311G //MP2/6-3110 level the energy difference is 143 kJ mol" and the activation energy for the isomerization is 210 kJ mol at 0 K [50]. Somewhat smaller values (117/195 kJ mor ) have been calculated with the more elaborate CCSD(T)/ ANO-L method [50]. The high barrier of ca. 80 kJ mol" for the isomerization of the pyramidal H2S=S back to the screw-like disulfane structure means that the thiosulfoxide, once it has been formed, will not decompose in an unimolecular reaction at low temperature, e.g., in a matrix-isolation experiment. The transition state structure is characterized by a hydrogen atom bridging the two sulfur atoms.

AH the values are in a.u.. The position of the first excitation energies which corresponds to the poles is indicated by vertical bars.

The molecular arrangement within the crystal units cells of nylon is governed by the need to maximize hydrogen bonding between adjacent chains. Hydrogen bonding within crystallites is facilitated by the fact that nylon chains adopt planar zig-zag conformations with dipoles perpendicular to the chain axis to thin the plane of the molecule. Examples of nylon crystallite structures are shown in Figs. 23.8 and 23.9 for nylon 6 and nylon 66, respectively. In the... 

Although mononitrenes do not act as crosslinking agents themselves, they can generate unpaired electrons in the polymer chains by the abstraction of hydrogen molecules from the polymer. As the result, the polymer chains are crosslinked by the recombinations of these unpaired electrons. Crosslinking by mononitrene in such a way, depends on the activity of the nitrene and may be not necessarily less efficient in some combination of monoazide with the polymer than that by dinitrene as is seen in the case for... 

Note that I have used Ri and R2 to stand in for undesignated amino acid side chains. In this process, the —OH group from the carboxylic acid and a hydrogen atom from the amine form the product molecule of water. The remaining atoms form the developing protein. Each time that a molecule of an amino acid is added to a growing chain, a molecule of water is eliminated. The four-atom unit which unites the two amino acids is an amide and is termed, for historic reasons, a peptide bond. 

Both cellulose and cellulose nitrate (CN) are linear, or two-dimensional, polymers, but the former cannot be softened because of the presence of multitudinous hydrogen bonds between the chain-like molecules. When used as an explosive the CN is essentially completely nitrated, but the material used by Parks and Hyatt was a dinitrate, still potentially explosive, but less so. Parks added castor oil and Hyatt added camphor to plasticize—reduce the effect of the hydrogen bonding—the CN, allowing it some flexibility.

In these solvents heterolytic activation can occur through a chain of hydrogen-bonded solvent molecules connecting the H2 proton with the basic center (for instance via a six-membered transition state) instead of an -bond metathesis [2+2] of the hydrogen molecule through a four-membered transition state (Scheme 2). 

The original structure assigned it was that of a vinylamine (with the loss of a hydrogen molecule from the alpha/beta chain positions. This was shown to be incorrect. 

The, crystal can correspondingly be easily cleaved into layers, this cleavage not breaking any of the hydrogen bonds. In the /3 form of the crystals there are long chains of molecules, with the structure... 

The Pope cell employs a similar bililar conductive grid on an insulutive substrate. In this sensor, the substrate is made front polystyrene, which has been treated in a prescribed fashion with sulfuric acid. This results in sulfonaticm of the longer-chain polystyrene molecules. Because the sulfate radical (SOj) is highly mobile in Ihe presence of hydrogen ions (available from Ihc w ater molecule in vapor forml, the I SO., I ions can detach and take on H ions, thereby altering the surface resistivity of Ihe sensor as a function of humidity.
