The object of this part of the project is to determine the energy ("enthalpy) levels in each the three con formers and so to determine the composition of the equilibrium conformational mixture. That having been done for the cis isomer, the procedure is repeated for the trans isomer. 

In order to reach a crystalline state, polymers must have sufficient freedom of motion. Polymer crystals nearly always consist of many strands with a parallel packing. Simply putting strands in parallel does not ensure that they will have the freedom of movement necessary to then find the low-energy con-former. The researcher can check this by examining the cross-sectional profile of the polymer (viewed end on). If the profile is roughly circular, it is likely that the chain will be able to change conformation as necessary. 

One of the most important questions for a conformational search strategy is, When have I found all of the energetically interesting con formers This is an area of active research and the ideal answer seems to be, When you find all of the local minima. However, this answer is not always reasonable, because medium to large molecules have a large number of minima (see Complexity of Potential Energy Surfaces on page 14). 

Chelated oxo structures were assigned to 5-hydroxy-4-acyl-l,3-oxazoles on the basis of their NMR spectra, the preference being given to the con-former 249a with a six-membered chelate ring (Scheme 86) (75BSB845). 

Hexahydropyiido[ 1,2-d -1,3,4-oxadiazines 212 may formally exist in three con-formers (Scheme 138) [99ACSA213]. However, according to simple Hartree-Fock calculations, the trans conformer 212c is the energetically preferred structure. 

For the chain (homogenous) consisting of one con-former, osmotic forces are similar to the ones stretching the molecule by the ends. Then, labor of the distance being estimated at constant temperature T , one can estimate 5ch value from the condition = F AR = T ASch)- If a more accurate estimation of the distance change valRe between the ends is required, one may calculate the R value, taking into account the distribution function of the distances between the ends R. The value of the mean-square distances between the ends of the chain, being stretched by forces, applied to the ends equals [14] ... 

Hall et al.1 s estimated the conformational equilibrium for the structural units in the polymer of 2 using the numerical parameters determined for carbohydrates16. For a frans-l,3-tetrahydropyranoside, conformer 8 is calculated to be more stable than 7 by 9.2 kJmol-1 and would therefore occur almost exclusively (ca. 98%) at equilibrium. For a m-1,3-tetrahydropyranoside unit, the anomeric effect favors con-former 9, but its severe syn-axial interaction between alkoxy and alkyl groups would highly favor 10 (ca. 99%). 

The reaction shows a dependence on the E- or Z-stereochemistry of the enolate. Z-enolates favor anti adducts and E-enolates favor syn adducts. These tendencies can be understood in terms of an eight-membered chelated TS.299 The enone in this TS is in an s-cis conformation. The stereochemistry is influenced by the s-cis/s-trans equilibria. Bulky R4 groups favor the s-cis con former and enhance the stereoselectivity of the reaction. A computational study on the reaction also suggested an eight-membered TS.300... 

In the MD/QM technique each tool is used separately, in an attempt to exploit their particular strengths. Classical molecular dynamics as a very fast sampling technique is first used for efficient sampling of the conformational space for the molecule of interest. A cluster analysis of the MD trajectory is then used to identify the main con-formers (clusters). Finally QM calculations, which provide a more accurate (albeit more computationally expensive) representation of the system, can be applied to just a small number of snapshots carefully extracted from each representative cluster from the MD-generated trajectory. 

This prompted the development of the static PSA based on only one con-former. This simplification would save considerable computational time, but it is not without complications as it raises the question Which conformation should be used ... 

Unlike 1,3,5-dioxaphosphorinanes the relative population of the con-former with the axial phenyl group at phosphorus decreases in 1,3,5-diazaphosphorinanes both for P(III) and for P(IV) compounds. Conformational analysis of 5-phenyl-1,3,5-diazaphosphorinanes and their oxides, sulfides, and selenides showed that the conformational equilibrium shifted toward the conformer with the axial phenyl group on changing from P(III) to P(1V) derivatives. The same conclusion made for 5-phenyl-l, 3,5-dioxaphosphorinanes, but it is contrary to that made for 1-phenyl-phosphorinane-4-ones and their derivatives (83MI1). 

The next homolog, 1,5-hexadiene (1,5-HD), is of special chemical interest because the molecule is capable of undergoing the so-called Cope rearrangement. A GED study of 1,5-HD was also recently reported6. Because of the increased conformational complexity of this molecule compared to that of 1,4-PD, the structural details of the various con-formers could not be resolved and only averaged structure parameters were determined from the gas phase. Molecules in the solid state are frozen, mostly in only one conformation, which may but must not represent the conformational ground state. Therefore, conformational isomerization is usually not discussed with X-ray structures presented in the literature.
