Structure 8.2 Correct naphthalene structure showing key NOEs observed. 

For naphthalene we examine the H and S matrices based upon the both the HLSP functions and the standard tableaux functions for the system. In both cases we include the non-ionic structures, only. This will give a picture of how the situation compares for the two sorts of basis functions. In both cases, of course, the dimensions of the matrices are 42x42, the number of non-ionic Rumer diagrams for a naphthalene structure. Some statistics concerning the commutator are shown in Table 6. It is clear that,... 

Diastereomeric mixtures (three isomers) of 2,2 -biphospholes 162-164 were synthesized by asymmetric alkylation of 2,2 -biphospholyl anion 161 with enantiomerically pure diol ditosylates. The generated 2,2 -biphospholes were converted into the more stable disulfide derivatives 58, 165, and 166 <2005OM5549, 2003CC1154>. Dianion 161 was generated in two steps from l-phenyl-2,3-dimethylphosphole 159 by pyrolysis and subsequent treatment of the formed phosphole tetramer 160 with sodium naphthalene. Structures of the diastereomers of disufides 58 and 165 were established by the X-ray crystallographic data. 

Bromination of (47) led to 3-azido-4-bromoisoquinoline (261). On the other hand, trifluoroacetic acid caused only the tetrazolo tautomer (262) to exist in the equilibrium of (47) with its azido partner. This is due to elimination of the unfavored o- quinoid structure (47) from the tautomeric equilibrium and formation of the more stable naphthalenic structure (262) which, consequently, is preferred over the azido form (8UOC843). To extend this equilibrium study further, NMR investigations on substituted derivatives of (47) indicated that electron-releasing groups on the isoquinoline favor the tetrazolo tautomer whereas electron-attracting substituents favor the azido tautomer. Furthermore, the tetrazole was found to be preferred in DMSO solution relative to chloroform solution (81JOC843). 

It has been suggested that the anthraquinone 22 may result from the cyclisation of an enediyne rather than a poly-P-ketoacyl heptaketide. If this or any other a non-aldol pathway is involved in the formation of tiie 1,8-disubstituted naphthalene structures 23a and 23b, then the mode F and S classification criteria would not be applicable. 

If there is no bay region in the PAH structure, a four-carbon addition occurs at the carbon-carbon bond of highest k electron localization (pyrene going to benzo[e]pyrene). This series of two- and four-carbon addition as a production route is identical to those PAHs found theoretically by Stein to be the energetically most favored [8]. This sequence has been called the naphthalene zigzag because several of the species are fused naphthalene structures arranged in a zigzag pattern [9].

Oxaphenalene [naphtho(l,8-b,c)-pyran] 74 is interesting as it contains 1,8-disubstitut-ed naphthalene structure. Two syntheses are reported for this compound. The steps involved are depicted below... 

The stability of the naphthalene structure is such that, at temperatures up to 400-500 C, a catalyst is necessary for commercial rates of oxidation with air as the oxidizing agent. Theoretically, nine atoms of oxygen is required per molecule of naphthalene for oxidation to phthalic anhydride. This means that 64.5 cu ft of dry air measured at room temperature is theoretically required for the oxidation of 1 lb of naphthalene to phthalic anhydride. In practice, considerable excess air is used, up to three times that theoretically required. Thus, 20-60 moles of air must be used per mole of naphthalene oxidized.

Polyimides have been the topic of investigation for fuel cells for many years [180-184]. By poly condensation of sulfonated amines and phthalic or naphthalen-ic anhydride it is possible to tailor statistic or block copolymers with good proton conductivity. Polyimides have some susceptibility to hydrolysis, better stability being achieved with naphthalenic structures [185]. Sulfonimide membranes [186, 187] have been investigated due their strong superacidity, water uptake and retention above 80 °C. However, although they are thermally quite stable, the hydrolytic stability is not high.

The substituted naphthalene structures for the products were assigned on the basis of mass-spectral analysis and their conversion to naphthalene upon hydrogenolysis. The yields for the cyclic products were low, most likely due to the lack of suitable H-donor in these experiments. 

At the Japan Display 1989 Conference in Kyoto, two contributions independently reported on new materials which seemed to almost automatically give a defect-free alignment, avoiding the zigzag defect. The first one, a collaboration between Fujitsu Laboratories, Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, and Tokyo Institute of Technology [179] presented mixtures based of the naphthalene structure... 

No research work about the post-sulfonation of a naphthalenic structure has yet been reported and only few examples of the post-sulfonation of a phthalic polyimide are mentioned in the literature [45,46]. Both mentioned articles are concerned with the sulfonation of the polyimide synthesized from bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone and PMDA, either in the presence of chlorosulfonic acid (CISO3H) or sulfur trioxide-triethyl phosphate (2SO3 TEP) (Fig. 1). Because of the very low solubihty of the polyimide precursor, the post-sulfonation is performed in heterogeneous conditions. 

SC calculations have subsequently also been carried out on many aromatic systems, such as heterocyclic five- and six-membered rings, on naphthalene and on azulene. For naphthalene and azulene, with 10 n electrons, the orbitals obtained are very similar to those of benzene, with the exception of the two orbitals localized at each of the C atoms which bridge the two rings. These orbitals display a three-way deformation, towards each of the three adjacent carbon atoms. In addition equation (12) shows that for a 10-electron system there are 42 possible spin functions which should be taken into account. But since the SC orbitals are fully optimized, it turns out that the only spin functions which play any significant role in these molecules are those corresponding to the Kekul structures (in the case of naphthalene, structures (3), (4), and (5) in Section 3) and that the contribution of the other 39 structures may be neglected.
