For hydrogen halides

It is not difficult to incorporate this result into the general mechanism for hydrogen halide additions. These products are formed as the result of solvent competing with halide ion as the nucleophilic component in the addition. Solvent addition can occur via a concerted mechanism or by capture of a carbocation intermediate. Addition of a halide salt increases the likelihood of capture of a carbocation intermediate by halide ion. The effect of added halide salt can be detected kinetically. For example, the presence of tetramethylammonium... 

Hydrocarbons normally have very small dipole momen Why (Hint Consider the relationship betwe electronegativity differences and dipole momer established above for hydrogen halides.) Does sing methylene possess a small dipole moment Explain. W1 direction do you expect singlet methylene s dipole point Explain. In what direction does it point ... 

The reversible hydrogenolysis of trfl -(Ph2MeSi)2Pt(PMe2Ph)2 has been discussed in Sections II,B,4 and II,B,7. A mechanism similar to that postulated for hydrogen halide reactions [e.g., Eq. (78)] has been suggested 71, 114) such a dihydride intermediate has not been detected, but some support comes from the identification of H2XSiPtl2(H)(PEt3)2 (X = Cl, I), as shown in Eq. (79) 27). Further discussion is in Section III. 

The diminished stereospecificity is similar to that noted for hydrogen halide addition to phenyl-substituted alkenes.

A feature of London s paper is its emphasis on the zero-point motion of electrons it is the intermolecular correlation of this zero-point motion that is responsible for dispersion forces. London s Section 9 extends the idea of zero-point fluctuations to the interaction of dipolar molecules. If their moment of inertia is small, as it is for hydrogen halide molecules, then even near the absolute zero of temperature when the molecules are in their non-rotating ground states, there are large fluctuations in the orientation of the molecules and these become correlated in the interacting pair.

The information obtainable from photoelectron polarization measurements is reviewed, for both atoms and molecules, by Heinzmann and Cherepkov (1996). Even at non-relativistic excitation energy, photoelectrons can be spin-polarized (Fano, 1969). For l / 0 atoms, due to the spin-orbit splitting of the initial atomic and/or the final ionic state, photoelectrons are in most cases highly spin-polarized (up to 100%) when photoexcited with circularly polarized light. Analogous effects occur in molecular photoionization, but systematic studies have only been made for hydrogen halide molecules, HX. The electronic ground state of HX+ is X2n.

Synthesis of ferrocene in high yield by this method has been reported by a number of investigators (18,34-36,38). Wilkinson et al. (36) have described the preparation of ferrocene, and dicyclopentadienyl compounds of cobalt and nickel in yields of 80-90% anhydrous diethylamine served both as solvent and acceptor for hydrogen halide. This procedure for preparing ferrocene has been published in detail in Organic Synthesis (18).
