The alkenes make up a homologous series of hydrocarbons with the general formula C H2 . Alkenes show two types of structural isomerism, position isomerism and chain isomerism. Geometrical isomerism also exists because of the lack of free rotation about the C=C double bond.

Problem 6.5 Which of the following alkenes exhibit geometric isomerism Supply structural formulas and names for the isomers. <... 

Butenes or butylenes are hydrocarbon alkenes that exist as four different isomers. Each isomer is a flammable gas at normal room temperature and one atmosphere pressure, but their boiling points indicate that butenes can be condensed at low ambient temperatures and/or increase pressure similar to propane and butane. The 2 designation in the names indicates the position of the double bond. The cis and trans labels indicate geometric isomerism. Geometric isomers are molecules that have similar atoms and bonds but different spatial arrangement of atoms. The structures indicate that three of the butenes are normal butenes, n-butenes, but that methylpropene is branched. Methylpropene is also called isobutene or isobutylene. Isobutenes are more reactive than n-butenes, and reaction mechanisms involving isobutenes differ from those of normal butenes. 

We have developed an understanding of structural isomerism, i.e., straight chain and branched chain. We have seen structural isomerization connected with the location of the double bond. We must recognize another type of isomerism—geometric isomerism, also called diastereo-merism or simply cis-trans isomerism. 

The chromatographic conditions specified produced a chromatogram in which, for Uni-dyme-18-dimer acid, there are four broad peaks corresponding to neutrals, monobasic, dibasic, and poly basic components. Each peak represents the elution of many isomers for example, the dibasic peak is composed of linear, cyclic, and aromatic dimer, each in various geometric, structural, and conformational isomeric forms (the peaks are very broad as a result of the presence of these isomers). 

Presumably the radical anion generated by the primary electron transfer fragments to a radical anion pair. Back electron transfer to the sensitizer cation radical generates the allyl cation from which geometric isomerization and structural rearrangement can be easily accomplished. 

However, for A = CN the isomerization reaction favors CH2=XH(CN) by ca 6 kcalmol-1 (Si) to ca 9 kcalmol-1 (Pb), whereas the combined CAS(2,2)/CEP-DZP S-T splitting energies are smaller for CH(CN) + XH2 relative to CH2 + XH(CN) by ca 3 kcalmol-1 (Se) to ca 9 kcalmol-1 (Pb). Here a correlation between the ab initio S-T splittings and isomerization reaction energies is not found to hold, although the qualitative geometric structure correlation described above was found to be valid. 

The summary in Table 9 shows the correlation between the relative tendency away from a planar equilibrium geometric structure between the CH(A)=XH2 and CH2=XH(A) sets and the general exothermic direction of the isomerization reaction 2 for a given A substituent. Thus, even for the A = NO comparisons, where the HXNO S-T splitting energies are not known from these calculations, the consistently less stable isomer [CH2=XH(A)] has the higher tendency to the trans-bent structure (X = Sn and Pb). This general correlation holds also for A = CH3, F and OH, but not for A = CN. Also, except for A = CN,... 

For alkenes, in addition to structural isomerism, geometrical isomerism can also occur. Geometrical isomerism differs only in the arrangement of the atoms in space. 

Then, how can one capture the global aspects of the phase-space geometry from the geometric structure of the phase space in that local region One can find an essential clue from an insightful classical theory for isomerization reactions composed of two DOFs, so-called reactive island theory (RIT) developed by De Leon, Marston, Mehta, and Ozorio De Almeida [34—37] (see also Ref. 55). 

In the case of [( -allyl)Fe(CO)4]+ cations (138), there is no possibility for endolexo isomerism. Crystal structures of this type of complex have been reported, and are similar to those of (135). Noteworthy in the character of these complexes is their geometric stability the syn and anti isomers do not interconvert unless heated to 60-70 °C for extended periods of time. ... 

Rule 11. Designation of structural isomerism. Geometrical isomerism is designated alternatively by numbers or by the words cis- and tram-. 

First of all we have determined geometric structures and ionization potentials of the three most stable isomers [15], respectively, which are in reasonable agreement with ab initio structure calculations [31-33] and experimental ionization data [34]. For all isomeric structures the ct cross section on corresponding to Ofinai of channel (14a), i.e. 

The spectroscopic and photochemical properties of the synthetic carotenoid, locked-15,15 -cA-spheroidene, were studied by absorption, fluorescence, CD, fast transient absorption and EPR spectroscopies in solution and after incorporation into the RC of Rb. sphaeroides R-26.1. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification of the synthetic molecule reveal the presence of several Ai-cis geometric isomers in addition to the mono-c/x isomer of locked-15,15 -c/x-spheroidene. In solution, the absorption spectrum of the purified mono-cA sample was red-shifted and showed a large c/x-peak at 351 nm compared to unlocked all-spheroidene. Spectroscopic studies of the purified locked-15,15 -mono-c/x molecule in solution revealed a more stable manifold of excited states compared to the unlocked spheroidene. Molecular modeling and semi-empirical calculations revealed that geometric isomerization and structural factors affect the room temperature spectra. RCs of Rb. sphaeroides R-26.1 in which the locked-15,15 -c/x-spheroidene was incorporated showed no difference in either the spectroscopic properties or photochemistry compared to RCs in which unlocked spheroidene was incorporated or to Rb. sphaeroides wild type strain 2.4.1 RCs which naturally contain spheroidene. The data indicate that the natural selection of a c/x-isomer of spheroidene for incorporation into native RCs of Rb. sphaeroides wild type strain 2.4.1 was probably more determined by the structure or assembly of the RC protein than by any special quality of the c/x-isomer of the carotenoid that would affect its ability to accept triplet energy from the primary donor or to carry out photoprotection. 

The specific properties studied here include charge distributions, energies, geometric structures and conformations, dipole moments, isomerization energies, bond dissociation energies, proton affinities, electron affinities, ionization potentials and spin populations, as well as the general trends in these and other properties, such as hypervalency character, and their underlying electronic structure causes. The comparison of calculated with experimental property values affords an opportunity to evaluate the computational methods. 

For the following formulas, what types of isomerism could be exhibited For each formula, give an example that illustrates the specific type of isomerism. The types of isomerism are structural, geometric, and optical. 

The selectivity of the metal sulfate catalyst is influenced by many factors besides its acidic property, such as geometric structure involving a pore structure, arrangement of basic sites, polarity of the surface, etc. For example, the relative values of the first-order rate constants (per imit acidity at pK — 3) of the depolymerization catalyzed by nickel sulfate, cupric sulfate, and silica-alumina were found to be 1100 300 1. The difference may be attributed to the differences in acid-base bi-functional catalysis of these catalysts. This view may be said to have originated in 1948 when Turkevich and Smith (45) showed that the isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butene is catalyzed by metal sulfates, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc., but little by acetic acid, hydrogen chloride, etc. The high catalytic activity of the catalysts of the former group is considered as due to acid-base bifunctional catalysis as illustrated by Fig. 14. Independently, Horiuti (45a) advanced the same idea...
