Molecular structure data

Although these potential barriers are only of the order of a few thousand calories in most circumstances, there are a number of properties which are markedly influenced by them. Thus the heat capacity, entropy, and equilibrium constants contain an appreciable contribution from the hindered rotation. Since statistical mechanics combined with molecular structural data has provided such a highly successful method of calculating heat capacities and entropies for simpler molecules, it is natural to try to extend the method to molecules containing the possibility of hindered rotation. Much effort has been expended in this direction, with the result that a wide class of molecules can be dealt with, provided that the height of the potential barrier is known from empirical sources. A great many molecules of considerable industrial importance are included in this category, notably the simpler hydrocarbons. 

Chemoinformatics refers to the systems and scientific methods used to store, retrieve, and analyze the immense amount of molecular data that are generated in modern drug-discovery efforts. In general, these data fall into one of four categories structural, numerical, annotation/text, and graphical. However, it is fair to say that the molecular structure data are the most unique aspect that differentiate chemoinformatics from other database applications (1). Molecular structure refers to the 1-, 2-, or 3-D representations of molecules. Examples of numerical data include biological activity, p/C, log/5, or analytical results, to name a few. Annotation includes information such as experimental notes that are associated with a structure or data point. Finally, any structure... 

Molecular structure data bases are particularly useful in the analysis and engineering of zinc coordination polyhedra, and statistical results from the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (Bernstein et al., 1977) and the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen et al., 1983) are presented... 

In earlier work, no molecular structural data were available on mononuclear M amides, but this has changed markedly in the last three (and particularly last two) decades. Another significant development has been the use of the title compounds, and especially the homoleptic dimethylamides M(NMe2)3, as reagents, or synthons for the preparation of bridging binuclear imides 7 (Section 10.3) or cluster imides (e.g. 3 7) (Section 10.4), or Bi[N(SiMe3)2]3 as a precursor for atomic layer deposition.Heteroleptic amidometal chlorides have featured as precursors to cationic metal(III) amides (Section 10.2.4).

The crystal and molecular structure data of the three Se8 forms listed in Table II have been determined by X-ray diffraction (27-29, 31). a-, /3-, and y-cyclooctaselenium crystallize in the same space group but differ in the packing of the molecules (see Fig. 4). The average bond distances, bond angles, and torsional angles of the Se8 molecules are identical within the limits of the standard deviation. The torsional angle of 101° is close to the value of 99° observed in the case of Sg (36) and obviously corresponds to the minimum of the torsional potential energy function. The shortest intermolecular distance has been observed in the case of -y-Se8 the value of 334.6 pm is even smaller than the shortest intermolecular contact in orthorhombic cy-clooctasulfur, S8 [337 pm (33)].

Monomethyl and dimethylalkanes in the range C16-C20 are prominent in many cultured cyanobacteria as well as most cyanobacterial mat communities that have been studied (Section 8.03.5.3). No specific physiological role has been assigned to these hydrocarbons. Because they have probably multiple origins in ancient sediments and petroleum, these monomethyl and dimethylalkanes alone probably have limited chemotaxonomic specificity. However, they may be very useful in multivariate approaches for linking isotopic and molecular-structure data for a less ambiguous identification of sedimentary cyanobacterial lipids. 

The average dimensions, or other statistical properties of the polymeric chains, are then calculated, allowing for the relative probabilities of the rotational states and making full allowance for the mutual interdependence of adjacent pairs of bond rotational states. Parameters required for the models are normally obtained from molecular structure data and from experimental information relating to the statistical conformations of the polymeric chains. Further references to rotational isomeric state models will be made later.

Crystals of endo-Su (a-Sig) are intense lemon-yellow, rhombic plates and belong to the orthorhombic crystal system. The molecules are arranged to form a pseudohexagonal close packing which accounts for the higher density of the endo-Sis crystal. Crystals of exo-Sig (PSu) are monoclinic. The crystal and molecular structure data are summarized in Table 15. A detailed analysis and modeling of the intermolecular forces in 12 sulfur allotropes... 

We have not tried to specify a single definite way to decide where to stop fitting. We would feel that we had done a disservice to good analysis of molecular structure data if we had. Mechanical computations can usually, as here, shorten the list of reasonable competitors. Sometimes only one will be left in general, however, there will be a few from which choice must be made carefully. 

Attempts have been made to calculate the mentioned forces more quantitatively. W. Simon and coworkers195) have been successful in representing their, and other, data by semi-empirical model, so that a reasonable quantitative account of the various reported phenomena can be presented in terms of molecular structure data. To date, little work has been done to apply more rigorous, non-empirical methods of quantum chemistry to problems other than solvation67,157,261,269). 

There are many books that describe relational database management systems (RDBMS) and the structured query language (SQL) used to manipulate the data. Understanding SQL is important, and this book contains an introduction to SQL. However, the focus is on the concepts of relational data. One goal is to show how a proper integration of a new molecular structure data type yields a powerful, extended relational database for use in chemistry. For those of you new to relational databases, it is expected that the SQL introduction will suffice for your understanding of the concepts in this book. For those of you already familiar with SQL, it is hoped that you will see how the extensions described here provide a powerful, integrated way to handle molecular structures within the database. In either case, there are plenty of practical SQL examples contained in this book. 

The molfile or sdf file format is a very common way to store molecular structures. This can be considered as an external representation of a molecular structure data type. There are many other common file formats in use and only the essential features common to all of them will be considered here. The essential aspects of molecular structure contained in these files are atomic number or atomic symbol, formal atomic charge, bonded atom pairs, and bond orders. These are the minimum attributes necessary to define an unambiguous valence bond molecular structure. Other atom properties, such as atom types might also occur in these files, but these are specific to particular modeling programs and will not be discussed here. Sometimes molecular properties are also stored in these files. A way to store these properties in relational tables is discussed. 

A traditional client program reads from a molecular structure file and performs some computation that depends on the molecular structural data. This read(file) function reads particular columns or fields from the file. A different function would be necessary for each type of file format. A traditional client program can be modified to read molecular structure data from... 

Other recent advances that have impacted CADD include the growth in the quantity and quality of available molecular structure data.
