Ethene model

Bond density surfaces are also superior to conventional models when it comes te describing chemical reactions. Chemical reactions can involve many changes in chemica bonding, and conventional formulas are not sufficiently flexible to describe what happen (conventional plastic models are even worse). For example, heating ethyl fonnate t( high temperatures causes this molecule to fragment into two new molecules, foraii( acid and ethene. A conventional formula can show which bonds are affected by ths reaction, but it cannot tell us if these changes occur all at once, sequentially, or in soms other fashion. 

Hiickel s model was not originally presented in terms of the HF model, but I want you to think in HF-LCAO terms for the remainder of the chapter. So, imagine a simple rr-electron molecule such as ethene (Figure 7.1). 

In the Hiickel TT-electron model, ethene is a two-electron problem. 1 have numbered the carbon atoms C and Cj, and X is centred on Ci with X2 on Cj. The HF matrix becomes... 

In Ref.125) the calculation of an activation barrier for reaction (21) in the gas phase is considered to be an error of the MINDO/3 method and the process is assumed to be activationless. But in respect to the medium effect a barrier of 54 k J mol-1 is obtain-ed which agrees again with the results from Huron-Claverie calculations. Bertran et al. calculated the influence of the solvation on the electrophilic attack of a proton 133) or a methyl cation 134,135) on ethene using a MINDO/3 supermolecule model. Smaller reaction enthalpies also result in solution than in the gas phase in addition to the appearance (H+ + ethene) or the increase (CH 4 + ethene) of an activation barrier1361.

Curved full line the best fit through the experimental AES data for surfaces in vacuum. The shaded area indicates the range of the steady state molar fraction of Pt, estimated by using different growth-models for the carbon(aceous) layers, calculated for the topmost layer of Pt/Cu alloys in contact with ethene, at ambient temperature.

Computational studies were done on several ClZnCH2Cl models, and the results are summarized in Figure 10.5.178 A minimal TS consisting of ClZnCH2Cl and ethene shows charge transfer mainly to the departing Cl that is, the ethene displaces chloride in the zinc coordination sphere. The model can be elaborated by inclusion of ZnCl2,...

For iron catalysts in general, the incorporation of 1-alkenes is negligible, and that of ethene is much lower than that of cobalt.1617 Therefore, for all published carbon number distributions for iron catalysts, a strict representation by two superimposed ASF distributions is obtained. Examples are given by Schliebs and Gaube,7 Dictor and Bell,8 and Huff and Satterfield.10 Also, the old experiments of the Schwarzheide tests are well represented by this model.7... 

The simplest model of this kind—and admittedly a rather naive one—is to choose two-centre 7r-orbitals 7r(t as basis functions. The prototype for the jc is the -orbital of ethene. Because ejection of an electron from this orbital yields the low-energy band, at /[ = 10.5 eV, in the ethene PE spectrum shown in Figure 4, A = —I = —10.5 eV is...
