Molecular configuration formula

Turpentine is a volatile oil consisting primarily of terpene hydrocarbons, having the empirical formula C10H,6. These 26 atoms can have many different arrangements, only six of which are present in appreciable amounts in commercial turpentines a-pinene (b.p. 156°C), /3-pinene (b.p. 164°C), camphene (b.p. 159°C), A3-carene (b.p. 170°C), dipentene (b.p. 176°C), and ter-pinoline (b.p. 188°C). The molecular configurations of some of these are shown in Fig. 28.20. 

Equations (5.18) and (5.20) are special cases of the more general formulas derived in Ch. 3 they demonstrate for the given crystal model how the mixing of molecular configurations due to intermolecular interaction in the crystal affects the oscillator strengths of the dipole transitions. We shall only stress here the... 

Pasteur was unable to interpret his ideas in precise terms of molecular structure, because Kekul s theory of molecular structure, leading to structural formulae, had not been put forward at the time of Pasteur s experiments. With the advent of Kckul s theory it became possible, during the next few years, to examine the structural formulae of the tartaric and lactic acids, and of various other substances which were known to exhibit optical activity. As a result, it was found that the molecules of all these substances assumed an asymmetric form—or configuration, as it is usually called—when their flat Kekulean representations were converted into three-dimensional ones, accoiding to a very simple principle. This principle was embodied in the Theory of Molecular Configuration, which was advanced independently and almost simultaneously in 1874 by the French chemist Lc Bel, and the Dutch chemist, van t Hoff. 

In one compound the chlorine atoms are united to different carbon atoms in the other they are in combination with the same carbon atom. Two dichloroethanes are known, and we have reason to believe that they have molecular configurations in accordance with the formulas just given. From an examination of the graphic formulas of the dichloroethanes, it might appear that more than two compounds are possible. The formulas... 

The theory of molecular configuration is essentially a fuller expression of KckuI6 and Couper s theory of molecular structure, in that it represents the structural formula in three dimeasions instead of in two. For many ordinary purposes it is still sufficient to use the Kckulcan structural formulae but for the finer aspects of organic chemistry and biochemistry it has become increasingly necessary to refer to the spatial configuration of the molecule. Stcrco-chcmistr>, indeed, permeates the whole of the vast body of organic nature.

Phosphoric acids and the phosphates maybe defined as derivatives of phosphoms oxides where the phosphoms atom is in the +5 oxidation state. These are compounds formed in the M2O—P20 system, where M represents one cation equivalent, eg, H", Na", 0.5 Ca ", etc. The molecular formula of the phosphoms(V) oxide [1314-56-3] is actually P O q, but this oxide is commonly referred to in terms of its empirical formula, P2O5. StmcturaHy, four phosphoms—oxygen (P—O) linkages are arranged in an approximate tetrahedral configuration about the phosphoms atom in the phosphate anion. Compounds containing discrete, monomeric PO ions are known as orthophosphates or simply as phosphates. 

Among the modem procedures utilized to estabUsh the chemical stmcture of a molecule, nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) is the most widely used technique. Mass spectrometry is distinguished by its abiUty to determine molecular formulas on minute amounts, but provides no information on stereochemistry. The third most important technique is x-ray diffraction crystallography, used to estabUsh the relative and absolute configuration of any molecule that forms suitable crystals. Other physical techniques, although useful, provide less information on stmctural problems.

Linking this molecular model to observed bulk fluid PVT-composition behavior requires a calculation of the number of possible configurations (microstmctures) of a mixture. There is no exact method available to solve this combinatorial problem (28). ASOG assumes the athermal (no heat of mixing) FIory-Huggins equation for this purpose (118,170,171). UNIQUAC claims to have a formula that avoids this assumption, although some aspects of athermal mixing are still present in the model.
