The C-F bonds in 1 fluoroalkenes and fluorobenzenes also are very strong (Table 17), but alkene k bond strengths vary with the level of fluonnabon (Table 18) Both CHF=CF2 and CF2=Cp2 have significantly weaker 7t bonds than CH2= CH2, CH7=CHF, and CH2=Cp2, consistent with other data indicatuig that tn- and tetrafluonnation thermodynamically destabilize double bonds [75] The low n bond energy in Cp2=CF2 underlies its propensity to undergo thermal biradical [2-1-2] cycloaddibons [103] (see p 767 )... 

Examine the HOMO-2 forphenylisocyanide. Is it directly involved in any o or K bonds If so, which bonds If not, describe where it is located. Draw a Lewis structure for the molecule which is consistent with your result.

Whereas the initial hydrogenation both breaks a K bond, as well as destroys any aromatic stabilization, the second hydrogenation only breaks the k bond. Is this difference large as in benzene (see discussion at right), or is it much smaller or neglible Is thiophene aromatic ... 

I We could remove the hydrogen and one electron (H-) from the C—K bond, leaving a cydopentadienyl radical. 

Each local metal-ligand interaction in a complex might include a contribution from K bonding. We now remove the restriction of only local <7 bonding adopted above. 

An interesting bicyclic germyl anion 42 K was readily prepared by the reduction of bicyclic iodide 78 with KCg (Scheme 2.71). The Ge anionic center in 42 [K (dme)2] was highly pyramidalized with the normal value of the Ge-K bond distance (3.4324(10) A). However, in polar solvents (THF) the Ge-K bond dissociates to produce 42 as an SSIP featuring the free anion 42 .

Corresponds to the C—H bond dissociation energy in the trimethylsilyl radical, implying a K bond strength of 192-193 kJ/mol. 

CH3 -Zn with superstoichiometric (defect) zinc atoms (Zn -impurity centres of conductivity). The larger is the electric positivity of the metal in these complexes, the larger is the ionicity of the carbon-metal bond, carbon being at the negative end of the dipole. Thus, in the case of C - K bond, ionicity amounts to 51%, whereas for C - Mg and C - Zn bonds ionicity amounts to 35% and 18%, respectively [55]. Consequently, metalloorganic compounds are characterized by only partially covalent metal-carbon bonds (except for mercury compounds).

All single bonds between two atoms are sigma (o) bonds. Pi bonds can only be formed after a sigma bond has already been formed. Therefore a double bond contains one o and one n bond, and a triple bond contains one o and two k bonds. 

A k bond can not be formed alone. It can be formed after the formation of a o bond, if any unhybridized p-orbitals of atoms remain. In another words, to form a it bond, two atoms must form a a bond first. 

As a result, in the C2H2 molecule there are three o and two k bonds, so in total five bonds. 

Also, each 7t bond added to a a bond makes the bond shorter. So the bond length between two carbon atoms decreases as k bonds are added.
