The starting point for the Lewis structure is a notation for an atom and its valence electrons. The element symbol represents the core, that is, the nucleus and all the inner-shell electrons. The core carries a number of positive charges equal to the number of valence electrons. This positive charge is called the corechanie. Valence electrons are shown explicitly. For elements in the third and later rows of the periodic table, the d electrons in atoms of Main Groups III, IV, V, VI, and VII are counted as part of the core. Thus ... 

Based on die highly developed art of oligosaccharide synthesis, orgamc-chemical, enzyme-catalyzed, and combined organic-enzyme-catalyzed syntheses of the Sialyl-Lewis structure and related oligosaccharides have been devised. Selected examples of these syntheses are discussed in Section IV, some of them including recently developed procedures of glycoside formation. 

The amide function is an important structural unit in peptides and proteins. Formamide, represented by the Lewis structure shown, is the simplest amide. It is a planar molecule with a dipole moment of 3.7 D. Lewis structures I-IV represent species that bear some relationship to the Lewis structure for formamide. 

VB structure (V) summarizes resonance between structures (IE) and (IV) or is equivalent to invoke resonance between the Lewis structures (VI) and (VII), each with an electron-pair bond and a lone pair of electrons. 

Another specific modification of polylactosaminoglycan chains is the introduction of a3-Fuc residues to non-terminal GlcNAcs along the chain to yield a (sialyl-) oligomeric-Lewis structure. In leukocytes the formation of this structure, which is a ligand for E- and P-selectin, is catalyzed by two different a3-FucTs, the myeloid FucT (FucT IV) and the leukocyte FucT (FucT VII) [92, 93] (Figure 10) (see also Section 23.20, o314-Fucosyltransferase Family below). 

I)-(IV) summarizes resonance between one standard and three of the long-bond Lewis structures of Figure 2-9. Thus,... 

In Fig. 2-10 we have displayed four increased-valence structmes for N2O, namely (I)-(IV) of Fig. 13-1, here. They may be generated from the standard Lewis structures (l)-(4) of Fig. 2-8 by delocalizing non-bonding 71- and 7t - electrons from the terminal nitrogen and oxygen atoms into adjacent N-N and N-0 71- and I-bonding orbitals, as is done in Fig. 13-1. 

As Olah et al. have reported (81JOC2706), iV-nltropyrazole in the presence of Lewis or Brpnsted acid catalysts is an effective nitrating agent for aromatic substrates. The greater lability of the N—NO2 bond in iV-nltropyrazole compared with aliphatic nltramines was discussed on the basis of its molecular structure as determined by X-ray crystallography. 

The pharmaceutical interest in the tricyclic structure of dibenz[6,/]oxepins with various side chains in position 10(11) stimulated a search for a convenient method for the introduction of functional groups into this position. It has been shown that nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group in the 10-position of the dibenzoxepin structure renders the system susceptible to water elimination. Formally, the hydroxy group in the enol form is replaced by nucleophiles such as amines or thiols. The Lewis acids boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex and titanium(IV) chloride have been used as catalysts. 

Chelation control has been invoked to explain the stereoselectivity of the reaction between 2-methoxycyclohexanone and trimethyl(2-propenyl)silane promoted by titanium(IV) chloride59, and has been observed for addition of allylsilanes to a-amidoaldehydes60, although the stereoselectivity is very dependent upon the amount of Lewis acid used and the structure of the substrate, particularly when the Lewis acid can bind to more than one site61. 

In this progress report we have reviewed the latest developments in the large area of cationic low-coordinated species and their coordination with Lewis donors. It is clear that these species are of a broad interest, in particular for catalysis. In some cases, e. g. the methylene phosphenium cation, the donor adducts also open new routes for synthesis. Regarding the mechanism for the diverse donor-addition reactions, the structural details are only poorly understood and need a better classification. In particular the variation of the Lewis-donor has to be established. Hitherto in most cases iV-donation is studied. It includes amines or pyridines. Obviously the effect of other donors, such as phosphines, thioethers needs to be studied as well. The siliconium cation for which these effects are better known could provide an understanding for further investigations within this field. 

Organotin(IV) compounds are Lewis acids. The crystalline structure of Lewis acid-base adducts between compounds R SnCl4- (/ = 0,..., 3) and Ni complexes with Schiff bases was determined by XRD, 119Sn Mossbauer and IR spectroscopy. Adducts are formed in 1 1, 1 2 and 2 1 ratios121. 

The number of bisylides, in which the carbon atom is stabilized by two neutral sulfur compounds, is restricted so far to one example, C(S NMe Ph2)2, with sulfur (IV). The proton of the conjugated acid (HC(S NMe Ph2)2) can be reversibly removed on an ion exchange resin loaded with OH protonation is achieved with 10% HCIO4 in methanol as shown in Fig. 8. The bent structure with an S-C-S angle of 117° and bond shortening of the C-S bond upon deprotonation of the related cation proves this compound as a typical carbon(O) compound stabilized by the Lewis base S(NMe)Ph2. Although the compound was reported to be stable even... 

Chiral tetranuclear Ti(IV) cluster 19, a cubic structure that consists of four Ti atoms and OHs, and six (7 )-BINOL ligands bridging two Ti atoms as ligands, has been shown to be a novel chiral Lewis acid catalyst for the [2 + 3] cycloaddition reaction with nitrones. Chiral Ti(IV) clusters with 7,7 -substituted (7 )-BINOL ligands have been synthesized to give enhanced enantiomeric excesses up to 78% ee (Scheme 12.17). ...
