Formal charges summary

A summary of commonly encountered formal charges and the bonding situations in which they occur is given in Table 2.2. Although only a bookkeeping device, formal charges often give clues about chemical reactivity, so it s helpful to be able to identify and calculate them correctly.

In summary, the electron density for HF as described by Eq. (3.15) includes the effects of charge transfer between atoms, atomic orbital overlap, and preferential population of lone-pair orbitals, which are neglected in the independent-atom scattering formalism. 

Summary The synthesis of the first silicon complexes with the tridentate diketoamine HN[CH2C(rBu)=0]2 (1) is described. The reaction of YSiXs (X = Cl, Br Y = H, Cl, Br, Ph, Vinyl) with 5-aza-2,2,8,8-tetramethylnonane-3,7-dione (1) in the presence of NEtj as an auxiliary base furnished the unusual dinuclear silicon complexes (6-11) having pentacoordinate silicon centers. Theoretical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G ) carried out for the monomeric chloro-substituted silane 7A are consistent with a folded structure and a relatively short and highly polarized Si-N bond (1.742 A Charge Si 0.96 N -0.53). The calculated value for the dimerization energy of 7A is -29 kcal/mol, reflecting the presence of a partial Si-N it-bond. Thus, the novel dimeric silicon compound 7 is the result of a head-to-tail dimerization of formally two Si=N bonds in 7A.
