The electrons occupy the in-phase combined orbital after the interaction. They are distribnted not only in the orbital occnpied prior to the interaction, bnt also in the overlap region and the orbital vacant prior to the interaction. The electrons localized in the occupied orbital before the interaction delocalize to the overlap region and the vacant orbital after the interaction (Scheme 13). 

The alkene substituted with the electron accepting group has the LUMO (it ) lowered by the interaction with the vacant orbital of the substituent. The high-lying SOMO interacts with the LUMO of the alkene more effectively than with the HOMO. The interaction is the symmetry-allowed it - n interaction (Scheme 30a). The configuration of the alkene is retained. 

The alkene with the electron donating group has the HOMO (n) raised by the interaction with the occupied orbital of the substiment. The low-lying SOMO (n ) interacts with the HOMO of the alkene more effectively. The frontier orbital interaction is the interaction (Scheme 30b), which is impossible at the four-membered... 

Molecules have some occupied and some unoccupied orbitals. There occur diverse interactions (Scheme 1) when molecules undergo reactions. According to the frontier orbital theory (Sect 3 in Chapter Elements of a Chemical Orbital Theory by Inagaki in this volume), the HOMO d) of an electron donor (D) and the LUMO (fl ) of an electron acceptor (A) play a predominant role in the chemical reactions (delocalization band in Scheme 2). The electron configuration D A where one electron transfers from dio a significantly mixes into the ground configuration DA where... 

The pseudoexcitation in donors occurs through the d-a -d interaction. The a-d-a orbital interaction causes the pseudoexcitation in the acceptors. The simultaneous pseudoexcitations in the donors and acceptors are caused by the a-d-a -d interaction (Scheme 2). 

With the power of the donors and acceptors, changes occur in the important frontier orbital interactions (Scheme 2) and in the mechanism of chemical reactions. The continuous change forms a mechanistic spectrum composed of the delocalization band to pseudoexcitation band to the electron transfer band. 

Thermal dimerization of ethylene to cyclobutane is forbidden by orbital symmetry (Sect 3.5 in Chapter Elements of a Chemical Orbital Theory by Inagaki in this volume). The activation barrier is high E =44 kcal mof ) [9]. Cyclobutane cannot be prepared on a preparative scale by the dimerization of ethylenes despite a favorable reaction enthalpy (AH = -19 kcal mol" ). Thermal reactions between alkenes usually proceed via diradical intermediates [10-12]. The process of the diradical formation is the most favored by the HOMO-LUMO interaction (Scheme 25b in chapter Elements of a Chemical Orbital Theory ). The intervention of the diradical intermediates impfies loss of stereochemical integrity. This is a characteric feature of the thermal reactions between alkenes in the delocalization band of the mechanistic spectrum. 

The argument of the directing effect of lone pairs on the substiment [92] easily extends to the alkyl cases. The orbital interaction (Scheme 20) [103] in the pere-poxide quasi-intermediate suggests the stabilization occurs by the simultaneous interaction of O with two allylic hydrogens on the same side of the alkene. Photooxygenation of trisubstituted olefins revealed a strong preference for H-abstraction from disubstituted side of the double bond [104, 105],... 

Benzyne shares a feature with A in the [2+2] cycloaddition reactions. The HOMO-LUMO interaction prefers the three-centered interaction (Scheme 4) [115]. This is in agreement with the calculated reaction path [116]. 

The primary delocalization occurs from tz of alkenes to of ketenes (Scheme 25). The pseudoexcitations occur through the HOMO-HOMO and LUMO-LUMO interactions (Scheme 4). The HOMO of the donors is n as usual, whereas the HOMO of the acceptors is not but The HOMO-HOMO interaction occurs between the C=C bonds of alkenes and ketenes and promotes the reaction accross the C=C bond of ketenes. The important DA configuration is the intramolecular... 

The most reactive site of the diene part is Cj of the cyclohexadienone ring with the alkoxy gronp. This corresponds to Cj of 2-alkoxybutadiene (Scheme 15), which has the largest HOMO amplitnde. The preferable frontier orbital interactions (Scheme 22) are in agreement with the reversed regioselectivities. 

Interactions polarize bonds. Trimethylenemethane (TMM) and 2-buten-l,4-diyl (BD) dianions (Scheme 6a, b) are chosen as models for hnear and cross-conjngated dianions. The bond polarization (Scheme 7) is shown to contain cyclic orbital interaction (Scheme 6c) even in non-cyclic conjugation [15]. The orbital phase continnity-discon-tinnity properties (Scheme 6d, e) control the relative thermodynamic stabihties. 

Butanes are chosen as the simplest models for the normal and branched isomers. Both branched and normal isomers contain a C-C bond (2 ) interacting with the terminal C-H bonds (2 and 2 ) (Scheme 26a). The cyclic -aj-a2 -a3 a2- interaction (Scheme 26b) occurs in the polarization of the middle C-C a-bond by the interactions with the antiperiplanar C-H a-bonds. The orbital phase is continuous in the branched isomer and discontinuous in the normal isomer (cf Scheme 4). The branched isomer is more stable. The basic rule of the branching effects on the stability of alkanes is ... 

The n orbitals on the two CO molecules interact with the same lobe of a vacant 3p orbital on a metal atom in the model for the acute angle coordination, and with different lobes for the obtuse angle coordination (Scheme 29b). Cychc orbital interaction occurs between the occupied 3s orbital and the vacant 3p orbitals on M and the n orbitals, n, and n, of the CO molecules (Scheme 29c). The phase is continuous for the same lobe interaction and discontinuous for the different lobe interaction (Scheme 29d, cf. Scheme 4). The acute-angle coordination is favored.

Scheldt and Chan have shown that NHC promoted homoenolate formation and addition to azomethine imines 37 generates pyridazinones 41 with high diastereoselectivity, via a proposed highly organised transition state 40 due to a key hydrogen bonding interaction (Scheme 12.6) [12]. 

The stability of a trivial assembly is simply determined by the thermodynamic properties of the discrete intermolecular binding interactions involved. Cooperative assembly processes involve an intramolecular cyclization, and this leads to an enhanced thermodynamic stability compared with the trivial analogs. The increase in stability is quantified by the parameter EM, the effective molarity of the intramolecular process, as first introduced in the study of intramolecular covalent cyclization reactions (6,7). EM is defined as the ratio of the binding constant of the intramolecular interaction to the binding constant of the corresponding intermolecular interaction (Scheme 2). The former can be determined by measuring the stability of the self-assembled structure, and the latter value is determined using simple monofunctional reference compounds. 

Ligand self-assembly through coordinative bonding has been used to increase the bulkiness of a monodentate tris-3-pyridyl phosphine ligand employing the zinc porphyrin/pyridine interaction (Scheme 33) [95-97]. The corresponding rhodium catalyst allowed for regioselective hydroformylation of2-octene [95]. 

The complex OsHCl(CO)(P Pr3)2 reacts with HX (X = H, SiEt3, Cl) molecules to give derivatives of the type OsXCl(r)2-H2)(CO)(P Pr3)2 (X = H, SiEt3, Cl), where the hydrogen atoms bonded to the osmium atom undergo nonclassical interaction (Scheme 16).

James et al. reported a case of product inhibition in the Rh-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of N-phenyl benzaldehyde imine [37]. These authors were able to isolate the deactivated catalyst, and to obtain its X-ray structure, which showed, surprisingly, that it was a rhodium complex with the product bound through a rf-n-axene interaction (Scheme 44.5). More cases of inhibition via formation of metal arene complexes will be detailed in Section 44.5. 

The rest of this chapter deals with how to model and specify components executable units that can be plugged together with different interaction schemes connecting them. Our modeling approach is based on the ideas put forth in three definitions.
