Note on Hybridization

Exercise 1.7. What point groups are available for different orientations of the ethyl groups in the / structure with a = Et  

In equations (1.4) and (1.5), the sums run over the number of hybridized orbitals. For any pair of hybrid orbitals, A, and hj, the following relationship exists  

Exercise 1.8. What is the hybridization of the carbon orbitals which form the C—H and C—C bonds of cyclopropane (HCH = 114°) Verify that if the carbon hybrids which are used for the C—H bonds are exactly sp2, then the two equivalent hybrids for the C—C bonds must be sp5 and the interorbital angle is 101.5°  

Empirically, C13—H spin-spin coupling constants are proportional to the s character of the hybrid orbital used in the a bond to H  

Empirically, —H spin-spin coupling constants are proportional to the char-

A note on good practice The concepts of promotion, hybridization, and resonance belong to valence bond theory, not molecular orbital theory. Instead, molecular orbitals are built from all the available atomic orbitals by noting whether or not they have the right shape to overlap with one another. 

The most recent report of Myer and Kock47 afforded a more robust assessment of the value of 1,1-ADEQUATE data as a part of the input data set for the COCON CASE program. The output of the structure generation for the brominated phakellins (18a, b) and brominated isophakellin (19a, b) alkaloids is summarized in Table 3. Structures generated without specified hybridization are noted on the first line for each compound that can be compared with the number of structures generated when pre-defined hybridization was employed on the second line for each... 

Sandorfy was struck by the artificial character of this approximation. His first target was the series of normal chain saturated hydrocarbons. A preliminary note on his results was published in the Comptes Rendus de VAcademie des Sciences.6 After taking up his position in Montreal, he greatly extended this work by introducing three different approximations, which he called the C CH, and H approximations.7 The first was based only on the atomic orbitals of the carbons, the second used the hybrid sp3 orbitals of the carbons and the Is orbitals of the hydrogens, and the third included all the valence atomic orbitals of the carbons and the hydrogens. 

Such a hybrid behavior has been noted on various materials amongst the most porous and is not peculiar to low density xerogels. It is the case of carbon black [6] and of some silica precipitated from alkaline silicates. The fumed silica synthesized in gas phase exhibits, depending on their bulk density, either a collapse behavior similar to the one of aerogels or a hybrid behavior similar to the one of low density xerogels [7]. 

It should be noted that the proportionality factors depend strongly on the molecular structure, on hybridization of the various carbon atoms and on the method of calculation. Actually, each family of charged species would require a modified factor. The two most commonly used correlations for cyclic anions show a proportionality constant of 10.7 ppm per electron for protons (KH) and 160 ppm per electron for carbons... 

In this chapter, attention will be focused on hybrid materials involving polymeric species. However, it should be noted that a wide variety of composites are currently under research—for instance, NiO plus yttrium-stabilized zirconia (Lee et al., 2001)... 

Note that hybridization undermines microreductionistic pictures of even the simplest molecules. Consider water. On the basis of the Pauling principle, one would expect oxygen to... 

The difference between the two lies in the fact that the nitrogen lone pair occupies an 5p -hybridized orbital in piperidine versus an -p -hybridized one in pyridine. As we have noted on several occasions, electrons in orbitals with more 5 character are more strongly held than those with less character. For this reason, nitrogen holds on to its unshared pair more strongly in pyridine than in piperidine and is less basic. 

The 1983 work of the Dorsey research group established the use of 3% v/v 1-propanol in micellar phases to reduce the MLC efficiency problem [3]. It is now confirmed that the addition of alcohol to micellar phases (i) increases the rate of the solute mass-transfer between the micelles and the aqueous phase by increasing the solute micelle exit rate constant, (ii) increases the solute mass transfer kinetics between the stationary phase and the aqueous phase by decreasing the stationary phase viscosity and the amount of adsorbed surfactant. The problem of alcohol addition to micellar phases is that kinetics enhancements cannot be dissociated from thermodynamics changes. The efficiencies increase and the retention times decrease. A hybrid alcohol-micelle mobile phase has necessarily a higher solvent strength than a purely aqueous phase [34]. It was shown that alcohols were changing the micelles and the stationary phase in a comparable manner [26] as noted on the Pws and parallel variations in Table 6.4. 

Given the supply-chain context of this book, we will consider only the management of independent-demand items—i.e., those items that move between firms in the supply chain. Throughout this book, we focus on issues related to node-to-node relationships in the supply chain, consistent with the framework developed in Chapter 1 that defines a supply chain as a network of nodes. Dependent demand involves "within-node" effects and is outside the scope of this book, but is discussed extensively in books on production/operations planning and control systems (e.g., Vollmann et al., 2005 or Chapman, 2006, which also contains an excellent discussion on hybrid systems that combine appropriate elements of MRP and kanban control). Note, however, that the classification of an item as an independent-demand item or a dependent-demand item is not an absolute characterization. Rather, it only makes sense in context. For example, to the company that assembles the cell phones, the keypad is clearly a dependent-demand item, provided that its only demand is derived from the production schedule for cell phones (i.e., not from sales of keypads as stand-alone items). To the firm that produces the keypads and sells them to various cell phone manufacturers, however, the keypad is an... 

A side note on the necessity to consider hybridization when considering lone pairs in main group compounds is that if we follow our approach in Sect. 4.6 and fill the lone pair on the lowest valence orbital (in main group case the s orbital), the coordinaticHi sphere will be completed immediately and no other bonds can form. This means that Iraie pairs in main group compound cannot naturally form without hybridization or other stabilizaticms, and marks an important difference between main group compounds and transition metal complexes.

Note that methods based on hybridization (DNA, microarrays) remain vahd. Their combination with NGS is cost-efficient to analyze gene expression on a large number of samples from a species without sequenced reference genome [DUB 11]. We can, for example, sequence the transcriptome from a pool of individuals using NGS, assemble it de novo, then design a custom microarray, and use it to analyze the samples one by one. 

Note The hybridization temperature we routinely use for middle repetitive probes is 37 C. However, for simple sequence satellite DNAs, other hybridization temperatures should be used, depending on their nucleotide composition and sequence. For each satellite probe, the hybridization temperature is maintained at 8-12°C below its melting temperature value (for details, see Bonaccorsi and Lohe [1991] and Lohe et al. [1993]).
