The fact that the electrochemical oxidation of ds-[M2(cp)2(/r-SR)2(CO)4] and of [M2(/r-SR)2(CO)8] is reversible despite the amount of structural reorganization involved suggests that these changes require low activation energy. Extended Htlckel Molecular Orbital (EHMO) calculations on the model complex ds-13 (R = H) indicated that the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) was the level [47]. Weakening of the... 

Diagrams AS, ISA, and 2SA (S = MO symmetric with respect to the plane, A = MO asymmetric with respect to the C2 axis) represent the symmetries of three lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of a phenoxy radical. The order of increasing energy AS < ISA < 2SA is chosen according to an extended Hiickel calculation. Consideration of the symmetry properties of these MO s led Sandner, Hedaya, and Trecker34 to the following conclusions ... 

HOMO = highest occupied molecular orbital. 6LUMO = lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. CEH = extended Huckel (calculations). dCNDO = complete neglect of differential overlap. efcc = face-centered cubic. 

In contrast, according to ab initio179> and Extended Hiickel calculations180) the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is lowered dramatically in the cis-bent models. 

The calculation of the exact band structure from first principles, however, is rather complex and requires considerable simplifications. The usual and very successful method to calculate the band structure of organic charge transfer salts is a tight-binding method, called extended Hiickel approximation. In this approximation, one starts from the molecular orbitals (MO) which are approximated by linear combinations of the constituent atomic orbitals. Each MO can be occupied by two electrons with antiparallel spins. These valence electrons are assumed to be spread over the whole molecule. Usually, only the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) are relevant and are, therefore, considered in most band-structure calculations [41].

Hartree-Fock eigenvalue of the highest occupied molecular orbital the electron affinity should approximate to the eigenvalue of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. According to Pople s theory, the mean of these two quantities should be the same for all alternant aromatic hydrocarbons and equal to the work function of graphite Pople and Hush showed that this relationship is verified by experiment. Brickstock and Pople1 extended the theory to radicals and ions. 

The above QSAR method was used to solve concrete problems.Beside the extended Hiickel methods, other ones (CNDO/2, MINDO, MNDO, etc.) were also employed.Good QSAR equations have been obtained by using CNDO/2 methods to calculate electronic parameters. In particular, for a series of phenyltriazenes, using atomic charges and the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital E (LUMO) as electronic parameters, the following two-parameter regression equation for the antisarcoma activity was obtained ° ... 

The nature of the transition state of nucleophilic reactions with LL [low lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)] substrates is analyzed and reviewed. In cation-anion combination reactions, a partial radical character is developed on both the nucleophile and the substrate. Examination of a simple state diagram shows that this diradicaloid character is increased as the LUMO of the substrate is lowered. The model is further extended to other LL substrates such as carbonyl functions and activated olefins. Three empirical manifestations of the diradicaloid character of the transition state are discussed (1) the correlation between the ionization potentials of the nucleophiles and their nucleophilicity toward LL substrates (2) the a-effect phenomenon and (3) the variations in the positional selectivity of 9-nitromethylenefluorene in nucleophilic reactions as a function of the solvent.
