Frontal orbital

The possibility of orbital reorganization in ion-radicals should be taken into account. Thus, organic derivatives of three-valence phosphorus exist in the sp hybrid state and an electron is removed from one of these orbitals. The cation-radical formed can retain the initial orbital configuration, but can also convert into the sp d hybrid state. In the latter case, one additional orbital of the phosphorus atom becomes accessible for the reactant attack. If Y—H bond in the reactant is weak, the reaction R3P+ -f YH proceeds with the participation of an sp frontal orbital according to the radical mechanism. Thiols are typical reactants with the weak Y—H bonds. If anions (A ) react with RjP, the vacant sp d orbital of the phosphorus appears to be a target. Scheme 3.14 illustrates the orbital pictures and the reaction directions. 

The role of a catalyst is, first, to form a complex molecule with reactant molecule coordination through its appropriate frontal orbital and thus fully weaken the H H bond and triple N=N bond. For example, H-H changes to two coordinated hydrogens and then may easily form new bond with the activated reaction intermediates. In other words, catalyst can participate in the reaction and form unstable intermediate complexes with reactants and form products at last. The activation energies required for every step are much lower than that for the reaction without catalyst, and therefore the reaction rate is accelerated. Consequently, the reaction pathway is changed by catalysts. For the case of ammonia synthesis reaction on Fe (111), Ertl, a winner of the Nobel chemistry prize in 2007, proposed a thermochemical kinetic profile, as shown in Fig. 2.1. 

The frontal cortex consists of three main structures (i) motoric regions (including the Broca area and ocular areas), (ii) the prefrontal cortex, and (iii) the orbital cortex. The prefrontal cortex is associated with attention, arousal, and expectation, the orbital cortex with motivation.

The generalized Woodward-Hoffmann rule suggests that a synchronous addition of disulfonium dications at the double C=C bond of alkenes would be a thermally forbidden process and so would be hardly probable. Simulation of the frontal attack by ethylene on l,4-dithioniabicyclo[2.2.0]hexane 115 gave no optimal structure of an intermediate complex. On the other hand in the lateral approach of the reactants, orbital factors favor attack of the double bond by one of the sulfonium sulfur atoms of the dication. This pattern corresponds to SN2-like substitution at sulfur atom as depicted in Figure 5. Using such a reactant orientation, the structure of intermediate jc-complex was successfully optimized. The distances between the reaction centers in the complex, that is, between the carbon atoms of the ethylene fragment and the nearest sulfur atom of the dication, are 2.74 and 2.96 A, respectively.

Several lines of evidence support the neurotrophic hypothesis. Animal and human studies indicate that stress and pain are associated with a drop in BDNF levels and that this loss of neurotrophic support contributes to atrophic structural changes in the hippocampus and perhaps other areas such as the medial frontal cortex and anterior cingulate. The hippocampus is known to be important both in contextual memory and regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Likewise, the anterior cingulate plays a role in the integration of emotional stimuli and attention functions, whereas the medial orbital frontal cortex is also thought to play a role in memory, learning, and emotion. 

Over 30 structural imaging studies suggest that major depression is associated with a 5-10% loss of volume in the hippocampus, although some studies have not replicated this finding. Depression and chronic stress states have also been associated with a substantial loss of volume in the anterior cingulate and medial orbital frontal cortex. Loss of volume in structures such as the hippocampus also appears to increase as a function of the duration of illness and the amount of time that the depression remains untreated. 

Obviously, intermediates, which are formed in the gaseous phase, arise as a result of the strong electrostatic attraction of species with no solvation. Calculations predict that mixing of the nitronium ion with benzene causes an interaction of frontal molecular orbitals. As a result, their energetic levels are changed. At a distance between the reagents of from 0.025 to 0.015 nm, an electron transfer is possible, even from benzene to the nitron-... 

Alkenes contain a C=C double bond. The C=C double bond can be described with two different models. According to the most commonly used model, a C=C double bond consists of a <7- and a tr-bond. The bond energy of the a-bond is 83 kcal/mol, about 20 kcal/mol higher than the tr-bond (63 kcal/mol). The higher stability of <7 bonds in comparison to n bonds is due to the difference in the overlap between the atomic orbitals (AOs) that form these bonds. Sigma bonds are produced by the overlap of two spn atomic orbitals (n 1,2,3), which is quite effective because it is frontal. Pi bonds are based on the overlap of 2,pz atomic orbitals, which is not as good because it is lateral or parallel.
