Notation of Isomers

For nomenclatural classification, a pentacoordinated phosphorus compound, P(L],L2,L3,L4,L5), with five different ligands, Lx. . . L5, attached to a skeleton of five positions identified by the indices s =1... 5, and of trigonal bipyramidal symmetry, D3h, can exist as 5 /6=20 isomers, or 10 pairs of enantiomers. To represent these isomers one defines a Reference Molecule ME in which the indices of all the ligands and the indices of all the skeletal positions coincide. Those indices will not coincide in the isomers of ME. The skeletal indices are assigned to the Reference Molecule according to some definitions,65 for example, as shown in ME. The ligand indices are assigned to the Reference Molecule 

The usefulness of this approach will become apparent in Section VIII 

Two further illustrations are isomer (3 5) and its enantiomer (1 3 5), for which only the abbreviated representations are given.

The mathematical properties of these matrices (mappings) and of their permutation transforms reveal a great deal of information on the stereochemistry of TBP-moleoules of the class P(1 2 3 4 5) and, in general, on molecules of the class Z(Li...

Both biopterin (30) and neopterin (31) belong to the family of naturally occurring 6-hydroxypropylpterin and are isolated as major pterins from almost all higher animals. Due to the existence of 2 chiral centers on the propyl side chain, 4 diastereomers are possible in biopterin and neopterin, and isomers 32-37 are found and considered to be minor or exceptional pterins. The absolute configurations of biopterin and neopterin are R,2 S and l S,2 R, respectively, and expedient notations of L-erytho, for biopterin, and d-erythro, for neopterin, have frequently been used. Following these notations, the di-... 

When some of the ligands Lx. . . L5 are equivalent, the number of isomers of TBP phosphorus is reduced as can be seen in Table 4. Some examples of the itineraries that result by the application of both the single TR and the BPR processes are shown in Fig. 8. The descriptors for the isomers in Fig. 8 do not have a counterpart in the Binary Notations. In Fig. 8 achiral isomers fall on the symmetry axis, and chiral isomers are placed in mirror-image positions, if any. 

In diamine-templated compounds such as diaminobutane- (H2dbu) and diaminopropane-(H2dpr) templated uranyl vanadates, the aa/aa isomer allows sharing of two opposite equatorial edges of the interlayer UO7 bipyramids with four VO4 tetrahedra of the adjacent layers, so one interlayer uranyl ion is linked to four vanadate tetrahedra (Fig. 7e). Thus, the stmctural notation of these... 

Although the term graph was first introduced into literature by mathematician Sylvester [Sylvester, 1877, 1878], who derived it from the contemporary chemical term graphical notation, used to denote the chemical structure of a molecule, the research field that is nowadays called chemical graph theory started some years before when the British mathematician Arthur Cayley published his works about trees [Cayley, 1857,1859] and then the paper On the mathematical theory of isomer [Cayley, 1874]. 

Figure 2 shows several all-trans and mono-czs isomers of -carotene which have been identified. The ail-trans isomer is unique in that it contains a stretched conj ugated system with C21, synunetry. The symmetry notations of nAJ, nAj, nB and nB are appropriate for this structure (Tavan and Schulten,... 

We are now in a position to collect, for example, all the three constitutional isomers with molecular formula HCNO that were already mentioned. Here are the chemical notations of fulminic acid, cyanic acid and isocyanic acid ... 

The opposite configuration notation of the product alcohols are due to the CIP sequence rules. The directions of the asymmetric induction are consistent to afford (R)- isomers by si facial addition of hydride for both aliphatic and al-kylaromatic ketones. However, for a-haloketone and a-ketoester, re facial addition of hydride provides (S)-isomeric alcohols. The direct comparison of K-xylide asymmetric reductions reveals that the reagent resembles very closely to that of K-glucoride. 

Chlorinations are important, particularly in industry, simply because chlorine is inexpensive. (It is prepared by electrolysis of hydrogen chloride, HCl.) The drawback to chlorination is low selectivity, so the process results in mixtures of isomers that are difficult to separate. To circumvent the problem, an alkane that contains a single type of hydrogen can be used as a substrate, thus giving (at least initially) a single product. Cyclopentane is one such alkane. We depict it using the bond-line notation (Section 1-9). 

The C2B10H12 molecule is the most stable carborane and takes its common name from the name of the entire class. Only three positional isomers are possible, 1,2- 1,7-, and 1,12-, for which the notations of ortho, meta, and para (o-, m-, P-) are usually used. The least stable isomer (o-carborane) rearranges to m-carborane at a temperature of 450 °C (an activation barrier of 260 kJ mol has been reported for this process), while /n-carborane rearranges to p-carborane at the higher temperature of 600 °C. Various mechanism have been suggested (Table 5). In addition, at about 350 °C there is a process that scrambles boron vertices in o-carborane but not in m-carborane. 

Isomeric alkenes may be either constitutional isomers or stereoisomers There is a sizable barrier to rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond which corresponds to the energy required to break the rr component of the double bond Stereoisomeric alkenes are configurationally stable under normal conditions The configurations of stereoisomeric alkenes are described according to two notational systems One system adds the prefix CIS to the name of the alkene when similar substituents are on the same side of the double bond and the prefix trans when they are on opposite sides The other ranks substituents according to a system of rules based on atomic number The prefix Z is used for alkenes that have higher ranked substituents on the same side of the double bond the prefix E is used when higher ranked substituents are on opposite sides... 

A paper in the same journal [PolG36b] elaborated on isomer enumeration and the corresponding asymptotic results. Here the functional equations for the generating functions for four kinds of rooted trees were presented without proof. They were, in a slightly different notation, formulae (8), (4), and (7) in the introduction to Polya s main paper, and one form of the functional equation for the generating function for rooted trees. From these results a number of asymptotic formulae were derived. These results were all incorporated into the main paper. 

The highest NOAEL values and all reliable LOAEL values for systemic effects for each species and duration category are recorded in Table 2-2 and plotted in Figure 2-2. In some studies, only the a- or P-isomer of endosulfan was tested. In such cases, a notation regarding the specific isomer tested is included in the effect description. 

The term causes a uniform shift of the nuclear energy states which, however, is different for the ground and excited state because the nuclear volume and, therefore, also the entity R ) are different for ground and excited states. This gives rise to the isomer shift 6 of the Mbssbauer spectrum. The notation 6E = E is introduced to emphasize the very small change in energy ( 10 eV), which is only a fraction (about 10 ) of the transition energy. The isomer shift will be discussed in detail in Sect. 4.2. 

Chemical identity may appear to present a trivial problem, but most chemicals have several names, and subtle differences between isomers (e.g., cis and trans) may be ignored. The most commonly accepted identifiers are the IUPAC name and the Chemical Abstracts System (CAS) number. More recently, methods have been sought of expressing the structure in line notation form so that computer entry of a series of symbols can be used to define a three-dimensional structure. For environmental purposes the SMILES (Simplified Molecular Identification and Line Entry System, Anderson et al. 1987) is favored, but the Wismesser Line Notation is also quite widely used.
