Consequently, these charge effects are reflected in the carbonyl stretching frequencies (87, 88). It has recently been found from studies of the far infrared spectra that the metal-carbon stretching frequencies also support the theory (89). These charge-distribution effects are supported further by the observed dipole moments (90-92). Thus the dipole moments of the chromium tricarbonyl complexes of hexamethylbenzene, benzene, and methylbenzoate lie in the order 6.22, 4.92, and 4.47 /x, respectively. The relationship of charge effects to chemical reactivity is described below.

From the 3 values we can argue that butadiene could well be more reactive to neutral nonpolar reagents, such as free radicals at the 1 and 4 carbons, than at the 2 and 3 carbons. Neutral nonpolar reagents are specified here so as to avoid commitments that might have to be modified later by consideration of charge distribution effects.

As an example, experimental kinetic data on the hydrolysis of amides under basic conditions as well as under acid catalysis were correlated with quantitative data on charge distribution and the resonance effect [13]. Thus, the values on the free energy of activation, AG , for the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of amides could be modeled quite well by Eq. (5)... 

Previous studies with a variety of datasets had shown the importance of charge distribution, of inductive effect), of r-electronegativity, resonance effect), and of effective polarizability, aeffi polarizability effect) for details on these methods see Section 7.1). All four of these descriptors on all three carbon atoms were calculated. However, in the final study, a reduced set of descriptors, shown in Table 3-4, was chosen that was obtained both by statistical methods and by chemical intuition. 

The underlying principle of the PEOE method is that the electronic polarization within the tr-bond skeleton as measured by the inductive effect is attenuated with each intervening o -bond. The electronic polarization within /r-bond systems as measured by the resonance or mesomeric effect, on the other hand, extends across an entire nr-system without any attenuation. The simple model of an electron in a box expresses this fact. Thus, in calculating the charge distribution in conjugated i -systems an approach different from the PEOE method has to be taken. 

The knowledge base is essentially two-fold on one hand it consists of a series of procedures for calculating all-important physicochemical effects such as heats of reaction, bond dissociation energies, charge distribution, inductive, resonance, and polarizability effects (.see Section 7.1). The other part of the knowledge base defines the reaction types on which the EROS system can work. 

Clearly, the nex.t step will be to investigate the physicochemical effects, such as charge distribution and inductive and resonance effects, at the reaction center to obtain a deeper insight into the mechanisms of these biochemical reactions and the finer details of similar reactions. Here, it should be emphasized that biochemical reactions arc ruled and driven basically by the same effects as organic reactions. Figure 10.3-22 compares the Claisen condensation of acetic esters to acctoacctic esters with the analogous biochemical reaction in the human body. 

Our discussion of elecfronic effects has concentrated so far on permanent features of the cliarge distribution. Electrostatic interactions also arise from changes in the charge distribution of a molecule or atom caused by an external field, a process called polarisation. The primary effect of the external electric field (which in our case will be caused by neighbouring molecules) is to induce a dipole in the molecule. The magnitude of the induced dipole moment ginj is proportional to the electric field E, with the constant of proportionahty being the polarisability a ... 

The first three terms in Eq. (10-26), the election kinetic energy, the nucleus-election Coulombic attraction, and the repulsion term between charge distributions at points Ti and V2, are classical terms. All of the quantum effects are included in the exchange-correlation potential...
