Epoxidation of conjugated dienes can be regioselective when one double bond is more electron-rich than the other otherwise mixtures of mono- and diepoxides will be obtained. When the alkene contains an adjacent stereocenter, the epoxidation can be diastereoselective [2]. Hydroxy groups can function as directing groups, causing the epoxidation to take place syn to the alcohol [2, 3]. 

Let us now consider a system of N electrons, where N+ electrons occupy spin orbitals of a character or plus spin, and N electrons occupy spin orbitals of character or minus spin. By using the separation of the one-electron functions y>k x) into two groups having different spins, we may write the fundamental invariant (Eq. 11.41) in the form... 

Several classes of silyl ethers have been shown to be excellent substrates for the C-H insertion chemistry of donor/ acceptor-substituted carbenoids.81 Effective C-H insertions predominantly occur at methylene sites. Primary sites are not sufficiently activated electronically while tertiary sites are sterically too crowded. Rl -DOSP -catalyzed functionalization of the allyl silyl ether 3 resulted in a highly diastereoselective transformation, leading to the formation of the /3-hydroxyester 4 in 94% yield and 82% ee (Equation (17)).81 This example illustrates the regioselectivity of this chemistry, because 3 contains two allylic sites but only the methylene site adjacent to the siloxy group was functionalized. Even better substrates are the commercially available tetraalkoxysilanes such as 5, because with these substrates, the high diastereoselectivity was retained while the enantioselectivity was increased (Equation (18)).81... 

In the present work, our aim has been prepared to different peripheral porphyra-zines which include eight 3-methylbutan and 3-phenylpropyl groups. Peripherally-functionalized porphyrazines have the potential to exhibit novel optical, magnetic and electronic properties [3],...

Here A is the antisymmetrizer for all particles and any given factor for sub stem R, describes the state of a group of Nr electrons. This ansatz is a generalized product function [1] - anaJogous to a Slater determinant, but with each spin-orbital replaced by a many-electron function. 

For the minimal basis set l.sa and ls, group theory has given us the precise form (except for the orbital exponents, which must be found by a variational calculation) of the two lowest H2 MOs 1 ag and 1 au. [Since a a MO is unchanged upon reflection in a plane containing the molecular axis, any o one-electron function must be a a+ function hence there is no need to use the superscript for a MOs. We can, however, have 2+ and 2 many-electron electronic wave functions, and here the superscript must be included.]... 

An s orbital, because it b spherical, will always be symmetric (i.e, it will remain unchanged) with respect to all operations of a point group. Thus it will always belong to a representation for which all characters are equal to I (a "totally symmetric" representation), although this is not explicitly indicated in character tables. The totally symmetric representation for a point group always appears first in its character table and has an A designation (A i. Aa,Ale> etc.). When these or any other Mulliken symbols are used to label orhitals or other one-electron functions, the convention is to use the lower case a1( a, etc. 

We begin by reviewing perhaps the most fundamental selection rule in quantum chemistry. Let the functions f Vi form a basis of partner functions for irrep a, and similarly ipj for irrep /3. Let O denote an operator that commutes with all elements of the group Q O is a totally symmetric operator in the terminology of Sec. 1.4. At this stage, it should be noted, our basis functions can be one- or many-electron functions. Consider now the matrix element... 

The aforementioned theories arc concerned wilh Ihc size and shape of odorant molecules, but differ in certain underlying concepts. For example, accommodating for functional groups, electron donor-acceptor characteristics, as well as Ihc sorptive nature of odorants on sensor sites. The vibration Iheory largely concentrates on the far-infrared and Raman spectral characteristics of odoriferous substances. The remaining theories concentrate on structural and behavior characteristics of odorant molecules, stressing direct interactions physically, chemically, and biologically wilh the olfactory sensor system. 

For organic materials, ultraviolet absorption spectra are substantially determined by the presence of functional groups. Identical functional groups in different molecules may not absorb at precisely the same wavelength due to different structural environments which modify the local electric field. The magnitude of the molar extinction coefficient ( e ) for a particular absorption is directly proportional to the probability of occurrence of the particular electronic transition. Spectral features of some isolated chromophoric groups are presented in Table 2... 

As for thioaldehydes, the stability of thioketenes is largely influenced by the nature of the substituents and bulky groups tend to stabilize this functional group. Electronic factors such as those originating in silicon, phosphorus or trifluoromethyl substituents lead to a similar result. In general, however, the synthesis of monomeric thioketenes is difficult and requires the use of special techniques such as FVT, matrix isolation at low temperatures or generation under conditions which allow trapping in situ of the transient species. The... 

Cytochromes c, small blue-copper proteins, or an internal heme c group can function as natural electron acceptors for the dehydrogenases. Since these are soluble proteins and the genes have been cloned in most cases, they provide excellent possibilities to study electron transfer pathways in vitro and intermolecular as well as intramolecular pathways between a quinone and Cu or heme c in particular.
