Conjugated process theory

However, the oxidation mechanism can also be interpreted in the framework of conjugated process theory. This requires presenting the overall equation of the secondary reaction as a sum of the complex PPFe3+00H/Al203 formation stage in reaction (7.7) and stage (7.8) ... 

Hitherto, we have only discussed Shilov s classic work in which using the example of conjugated oxidation reaction the general theory of conjugated processes was properly achieved. However, a series of subsequent works should be mentioned which developed investigations in the field of conjugated reactions. Without attempting a full treatment of the subject, let us concentrate on the most important results for scientific and applied purposes. 

Previously in Chapter 3 we introduced the Huckel molecular orbital theory and applied it to the n system of a number of conjugated polyene chains. In this section we will apply this approximation to cyclic conjugated polyenes, taking advantage of the symmetry properties of these systems in the process.
