A large number of ID nOe experiments may have to be performed if the spatial relationships among many protons in a molecule are to be determined. In such cases, instead of employing multi pulse ID nOe experiments, we can opt for the nOe spectroscopy (NOESY) experiment. If many protons have close chemical shifts, then NOESY may be particularly advanta-... 

Structural chemistry or stereochemistry is the science of the structures of chemical compounds, the latter term being used mainly when the structures of molecules are concerned. Structural chemistry deals with the elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms in a compound, with the explanation of the reasons that lead to this order, and with the properties resulting therefrom. It also includes the systematic ordering of the recognized structure types and the disclosure of relationships among them. 

More quantitative chemical evidence for random coil configuration comes from cyclization equilibria in chain molecules (49). According to the random coil model there must be a very definite relationship among the concentrations of x-mer rings in an equilibrated system, since the cyclization equilibrium constant Kx should depend on configurational entropy and therefore on equilibrium chain and ring dimensions. Values of /Af deduced from experimental values on Kx for polydimethylsiloxane, both in bulk and in concentrated solution, agree very well with unperturbed dimensions deduced from dilute solution measurements(49). 

An isodesmic reaction92 is a formal reaction, in which the number of electron pairs as well as formal chemical bond types are conserved while the relationships among the bonds are altered. A subclass of the isodesmic reactions is the class of bond separation energies, in which all formal bonds of a molecule are separated into two-heavy-atom molecules containing the same type of bonds. Stoichiometric balance is achieved for the bond separation energies by adding an appropriate number of one-heavy-atom hydrides to the left side of the reaction92. 

Consider the following relationships among the four major classes of biological molecules. What similarities and differences can you see in the chemical relationships between the right and left columns ... 

A gas is a collection of atoms or molecules moving independently through a volume that is largely empty space. Collisions of the randomly moving particles with the walls of their container exert a force per unit area that we perceive as pressure. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal, but the atmosphere and the millimeter of mercury are more commonly used. The physical condition of any gas is defined by four variables pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V), and molar amount (n). The specific relationships among these variable are called the gas laws ...

Several examples of molecular propellers with varying numbers of blades are shown below (1a—7/).b> This collection is by no means exhaustive and could easily be extended. The present review will discuss the major features of isomerism and isomerization in several important classes of molecular propellers and will examine in some detail the stereochemical relationships among various groups of constitutionally dissimilar propeller molecules.
