Chlorides. The oHve-green trichloride [10025-93-1], UCl, has been synthesized by chlorination of UH [13598-56-6] with HCl. This reaction is driven by the formation of gaseous H2 as a reaction by-product. The stmcture of the trichloride has been deterrnined and the central uranium atom possesses a riine-coordinate tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination geometry. The solubiUty properties of UCl are as follows soluble in H2O, methanol, glacial acetic acid insoluble in ethers. 

Diffuse functions have very little effect on the optimized structure of methanol but do significantly affect the bond angles in negatively charged methoxide anion. We can conclude that they are required to produce an accurate structure for the anion by comparing the two calculated geometries to that predicted by Hartree-Fock theory at a very large basis set (which should eliminate basis set effects). 

Examine the geometry of formamide. Is the CN bond shorter than expected for a normal single bond (in methylamine), and closer to that expected for a full double bond (in methyleneimine) Is the CO bond longer than that expected in a carbonyl compound (in formaldehyde), perhaps closer to that appropriate for a single bond (in methanol) Also, compare the electrostatic potential map for formamide with those of formaldehyde and methylamine. Is the CO bond in formamide more or less polar than that in formaldehyde Is the CN bond in formamide more or less polar than that in methylamine Draw whatever Lewis structures are needed to properly describe the geometry and charge distribution of formamide. 

Alcohols and phenols have nearly the same geometry around the oxygen atom as water. The R-O—H bond angle has an approximately tetrahedral value (109° in methanol, for example), and the oxygen atom is sp3-hybridized. 

Another version of the double [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, involving the sequence sulfenate - sulfoxide - sulfenate, has also been observed. For example, an effective one-pot epimerization procedure of 17a-vinyl-l 7/i-hydroxysteroids to the rather inaccessible 17-epimers has been achieved by the use of such a rearrangement (equation 35)137. Thus treatment of alcohol 76a with benzenesulfenyl chloride afforded the sulfoxide 77 as a single isomer and E-geometry of the olefinic double bond. Exposure of 77 to trimethyl phosphite in refluxing methanol produced a mixture of 76b and 76a in a 73 27 ratio. 

The ylide 44, prepared from the corresponding diazine and tetracyanoethylene oxide, rearranges in methanol the give the 1,3-diazepine 45 <96TL1587>. The x-ray geometry for 45 is reported. 

The energy and geometry data listed in Table 2.5 show that the effect of solvent bulk (computed for cyclohexane, toluene, diethylether chloroform, THF, and methanol by PCM model), decreases the activation energy, increasing asynchronicity for the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions.
