All of the optically active compounds prepared by diastereoisomer separation and/or conversion to enantiomers have proved to be configurationally stable at the metal center as long as they are in the solid state. Concerning their behavior in solution, however, the optically active or-gano-transition-metal compounds are divided into two groups (a) compounds configurationally stable at the metal center, which do not racem-ize or epimerize with respect to the metal atom prior to decomposition and (b) compounds configurationally labile at the metal center which racemize or epimerize with respect to the metal atom prior to decomposition. 

Evidence for covalent Ln-Oi bonding in LnSrfi04 and Ln2B04 compounds may also be obtained indirectly by the application of the method of invariants. Poix (5) has applied successfully the method of invariants (Eq. (3)) to oxides of the formula Sr2fiC>4 and to other oxides where the B ions are in the 4+ state. We have evaluated the value of i(tLn for a series of compounds of the type Ln2BO and LnSrBO4 (Table I) and find that ijjLn is not really an invariant. The reason for this may lie in the covalency of the Ln-Oi bonds and the possible competition between Ln-Oi and B-Oi bonds. 

We should remark that of the compounds listed in Table 4-1, BP and BAs have negative metallic atoms (Z < 0), and BeO is near zero. Similarly, the electronegativity tables of Pauling or of Phillips (these can be compared in Phillips, 1973a, p. 54) suggest that Be and B may be negative in some compounds. 

The antianxiety effects of chlordiazepoxide (165) were described in 1960 and this compound was followed by diazepam (135). These two drugs have captured 75% of the market for sedatives in the USA. Other benzodiazepines used as antianxiety agents include oxazepam (166 R = H), a metabolite of diazepam that is better tolerated, lorazepam (166 R = Cl) and potassium clorazepate (167). Prazepam is the iV-cyclopropylmethyl analogue of diazepam. The benzodiazepines have other therapeutic applications, many being used for inducing sleep, diazepam and nitrazepam are anticonvulsants and flurazepam (168) is both an antianxiety agent and a potent hypnotic. Thieno- and pyrazolo-1,4-diazepinones isosteric with diazepam have similar pharmacological properties (B-81 Ml 10604). 

As this position is fixed in space isomeric compounds are possible in which the position of two of the elements or groups linked to the doubly bound carbon atoms are reversed, as in (A) and (B) above. Two stereo-isomeric compounds should therefore be possible according to such a space arrangement and the two isomeric crotonic acids may thus be explained. This kind of stereo-isomerism is termed geometric isomerism. Without taking up in detail the proofs as to which of the two stereo-chemical formulas applies to each of the two crotonic acids, we may simply state the fact, that the properties of the solid or ordinary crotonic acid prove that it must be represented by formula (A), above, in which the methyl and carboxyl groups are 12... 

CHBrClI. (Colors Cl, green-, Br, red-, I, purple.) (c) The same model as in (a), turned so that H and I point the same as in (b) however, the Br and Cl atoms are not in the same positions in (b) and (c). The two models in (a) and (b) cannot be superimposed on each other no matter how we rotate them, so they are chiral. These two forms of CHBrClI represent dijferent compounds that are optical isomers of each other. 

The distribution of the Ce dopant is not uniform. Of the three cation sites in the parent compound, the first two are fully occupied by Bi atoms, while the third is empty. This results in a sequence of cation occupation on the [010] face as shown below in A and B. Site a is 92% Bi, 4% Ce, site b is 88% Bi, 12% Ce, and site c, normally vacant, is 4% Ce occupied. Examination of the oxide environment about site c indicates that there is insufficient room for a Ce cation. Occupation of the site must therefore result in some local disorder, the most likely manifestation thereof being a vacancy in site a (the distance between sites a and c are too short to allow simultaneous occupation). Note also that site a is not 100% occupied. Consequently, about 96% of the time the distribution of cations (Bi/Ce) in Bi, gCe 2 3 12... 

Among all the aspects of MS/MS, isotopic assay should be mentioned. If the molecular ion is sufficiently abundant [194] then the conventional mass spectrum can be used to analyse the labeled molecules. However, if an isomeric labeled mixture is present it becomes difficult to attribute total deuterium for each of these species, as well as localization. For instance, the classical method cannot be used for the study of the mixture do, dj and d2 of phenyl-2 ethanol a and phenyl-1 ethanol b. The decomposition ions in the source are not sufficiently specific (randomization of deuterium). The m/z 92 and m/z 107 ions are characteristic decompositions of a and b compounds (Fig. 41).
