Tetrahedral charge distribution

Mossbauer spectra of calcined samples (Table 1). The Fe3+(3) and Fe3+(4) components are probably located in tetrahedral (framework) positions. The charge distribution around the Fe3+(3) is asymmetric (large QS), thus here the charge compensation is probably provided by Fl+, i.e. indicating the existence of Bronsted sites. The charge symmetry around Fe3+(4) is more symmetric, thus the counterion is probably Na+ or Fe(OFl)+. Fe2+ ions are probably located outside of the framework (due to their larger ionic radius). Thus, in the hydrogen a small part of Fe3+ is reduced to Fe2+, and is probable removed to extra-framework sites. 

When packing progressively tetrahedral defects in the fluorite lattice, it is assumed that they interact with the lattice (elastic strains) and with one another (dipolar interaction). Both mechanisms of interaction are strongly dependent on the local charge distribution within the coordination tetrahedron, in which the defect is formed.

Transition state analogues are essentially stable molecules which resemble, in geometry and in charge distribution, metastable intermediates of the enzymic reaction. The actual transition state of the reaction will be close in structure to the metastable intermediate, and will quite likely vary slightly between different substrates accepted by the same enzyme. There will not be a unique transition state for all transformations catalysed by one particular enzyme, neither of course will there be a unique transition state for different enzymes catalysing the hydrolysis of peptide links in a protein. There will nevertheless be some similarities in mechanism, and so structures containing a tetrahedral centre have been designed to inhibit a variety of proteinases, where a tetrahedral intermediate is always presumed. Differences exist in the pathway to, and breakdown of, the tetrahedral intermediate, and its stabilization, between thiol and serine proteinases, zinc proteinases, and aspartic proteinases. 

All theoretical studies that include polarization function in the basis set of small unsubstituted ylides find a pyramidal ylidic carbon and a distorted tetrahedral phosphorus atom. Population analyses conclude that the charge distribution is P+ — C. ... 

This attempt at size adjustment between the two types of sheets is illustrated by the fact that very few Fe-rich 2 1 clays contain less than 0.2 tetrahedral R3+. When increased Al in the tetrahedral sheets is compensated by substitution of Mg in the octahedral sheet, the octahedral charge increases and the overall layer charge is increased. This allows strong K-bonds to be developed and exert an influence on layer dimensions. Once the layer charge is larger than 0.7 and predominantly tetrahedral in origin, the Al dominated octahedral sheet represents the stable phase such a clay approaches muscovite in composition and charge distribution and its stability is deter-... 

Finally, a structural and electronic features required for highly potent GS inhibitor were determined. Comparison of electrostatic potential on a molecular surface of enzymatic reaction transition state and phosphorylated forms of phosphinothricin and methionine sulfoximine revealed high similarity, while less potent inhibitors showed some differences. On the basis of these results, it was concluded that these inhibitors are typical transition state analogues. Moreover, charge distribution near tetrahedral atom of inhibitor (phosphorus or sulfur) should consist of two negatively charged centers and additional positively charged or neutral one. 

The water molecule has an approximately tetrahedral charge distribution, two positive charges at the positions of the hydrogen atoms (/ HOH = io41/2°) and two negative induced charges. The semi-crystalline structure of water and also the crystal structures of the modifications of ice show a similarity to... 

The complex has a tetrahedral configuration with Lu-C bonds of 2.42-2.50 A bond length. The bulky 2,6-dimethylphenyl group provides steric limitations in the complex. Ytterbium complex isomorphous with lutetium is also known. The electronic structure and the nature of chemical bonding of the lutetium complex was studied by the INDO method [26]. The MO s of Lu(CgH9)4 ion and the charge distribution are shown in Figs 5.4 and 5.5, respectively. 

The first question posed by this structure concerns the formal charge distribution between the two Gd, B6 and B2 units. If we naively apply the Zintl-Klemm concept we arrive at [Gd3+]2[B6, B2]6. The [B6]2 cluster with six external bonds obeys the cluster electron-counting rules. Consequently, the B2 fragment must have a charge of —4. This corresponds to saturated eight-electron B centers, and requires non-planar (tetrahedral) B centers. This does not agree with the observed planar B centers. But we know the metal does not need to be fully oxidized. Consider sp2-hybridized B atoms which satisfy the octet rule. This would lead to [Gd2+]2[B62 ][B22 ] and suggests a B=B double bond. OK, but planar B is...
