Meso-atomic system

Model and channels of decay for meso-atomic system Energy approach... 

Let us consider a case where the energy of excitation of the nucleus is larger than the energy of ionization of the meso-atomic system,. It is obvious... 

The extent of current interest in meso-ionic chemistry is illustrated by the fact that since the completion of the manuscript of this review a number of significant papers have been published. These include descriptions of four new representatives of the type A meso-ionic heterocycles. Three of these systems belong to the 144 structural possibilities described in Section IV. This brings the number of known type A meso-ionic systems up to forty-seven. The fourth new system is the first example of a type A meso-ionic heterocycle having a selenium atom in the meso-ionic ring. The extension of the general formula 19 to include selenium provides the possibility of a further 176 type A meso-ionic systems of which one is now known. The structures of these four new meso-ionic systems are given in Table A-I (appendix to Table I). 

The steric bulk of the three iodine atoms in the 2,4,6-triiodoben2ene system and the amide nature of the 1,3,5-substituents yield rotational isomers of the 5-A/-acyl-substituted 2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamides. Rotational motion in the bonds connecting the side chains and the aromatic ring is restricted. These compounds also exhibit stereoisomerism when chiral carbon atoms are present on side chains. (R,5)-3-Amino-l,2-propanediol is incorporated in the synthesis of iohexol (11) and ioversol (12) and an (3)-2-hydroxypropanoyl group is used in the synthesis of iopamidol (10). Consequendy, the resulting products contain a mixture of stereoisomers, ie, meso-isomers, or an optical isomer. 

However, it was pointed out that two other observations are out of line with the iron(I) formulation and more consistent with an iron(II)-porphyrin radical anion [290] (1) the low-intensity red-shifted Soret band in the UV-VIS spectrum with broad maxima in the a,(3-region compared to, for instance, Fe(TPP) in THF, is typical of a porphyrin radical, and (2) the bond lengths of the porphyrin core indicate population of the (antibonding) LUMO of the ligand (i.e., the presence of an extra electron in the re-system). The presence of porphyrin radical character in the electronic ground state was also inferred from the paramagnetic NMR-shifts of the pyrrole protons at the meso and p-carbon atoms [291]. 

The coordination chemistry of macrocyclic ligands has been extensively studied and aspects of isomerism have been considered in numerous systems.241 Methods whereby two diastereomers of complexes of tetra- N-methylcyclam may be isolated have been discussed previously.184 This, however, is a relatively simple system and it is usually necessary to consider isomerism due to the presence of asymmetric atoms in the chelate arms, as well as that due to asymmetric donor atoms that may be rendered stable to inversion by coordination. An example of a system exhibiting this level of complexity is afforded by the nickel(II) complexes of the macrocyclic ligands generated by reduction of the readily prepared macrocycle (46). These ligands contain two asymmetric carbon atoms and four asymmetric nitrogen atoms but, because AT-inversion is rapid, it is conventional to consider that only three separable stereoisomers exist. There is an enantiomeric pair, (47a) and (47b), which constitutes the racemic isomer (R, R ), and an achiral (R, S ) diastereomer (47c), the meso isomer. 

The R,S system is quite general and has many advantages (and a few disadvantages) compared with the d,l notation for simple molecules. For diastereomers, it provides much clearer notations than meso, erythro,1 and threo1 that have been used for many years to designate the configurations of achiral and chiral diastereomers having two chiral carbon atoms ... 

Some molecules may possess two or more independent propeller subunits. For instance, tetraphenylallene may be thought of as the composite of two separate and independent two-bladed propeller systems joined at the central carbon atom. Although these propeller subunits are necessarily chiral, the molecule as a whole need not be. Thus, tetraphenylallene may in principle exist in both meso and dl forms. 

According to a recently proposed definition, expanded porphyrins possess more than 16 atoms in the inner or, more precisely, smallest circuit of the macrocycle (porphyrin 1 contains exactly 16 atoms in the smallest macrocyclic circuit) [11], In addition to porphyrinoid macrocycles traditionally recognized as expanded, i.e., possessing more than four cyclic subunits or more than four meso bridges, this new definition encompasses some other systems, such as p-benziporphyrin 150. Regardless of the exact definition, expanded porphyrins constitute an unusually rich and diverse family of structures, and have been the subject of several excellent reviews [2, 5, 11, 146], The relationship between aromaticity and tautomerism in...

The hypsochromic shift of these bands, ca. 4000 cm-1 with respect to the corresponding methanes, is in accordance with Kuhn s rule34 for the replacement of the meso-C atom by a N atom in a chromophoric system with 4m + 2 v electrons.8...
