Optical Molecular Structure

In addition to the refractive index (already seen to be closely linked with molecular structure) there are a number of other optical properties of importance... 

A kinetic resolution of racemic sulphoxides was observed in the reduction by chiral polyiminoalanes. The efficiency of this process depends on the molecular structure of the polyiminoalane. With open pseudo-cubic tetra [JV-(l-phenylethyl)]imidoalane, unreacted sulphoxides were isolated in enantiomeric enrichment up to 75%. Optical purity was shown to increase with increasing the reaction temperature, a maximum enrichment being observed between 55 and 70 °C336.

One is purely formal, it concerns the departure from symmetry of an approximate solution of the Schrodinger equation for the electrons (ie within the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation). The most famous case is the symmetry-breaking of the solutions of the Hartree-Fock equations [1-4]. The other symmetry-breaking concerns the appearance of non symmetrical conformations of minimum potential energy. This phenomenon of deviation of the molecular structure from symmetry is so familiar, confirmed by a huge amount of physical evidences, of which chirality (i.e. the existence of optical isomers) was the oldest one, that it is well accepted. However, there are many problems where the Hartree-Fock symmetry breaking of the wave function for a symmetrical nuclear conformation and the deformation of the nuclear skeleton are internally related, obeying the same laws. And it is one purpose of the present review to stress on that internal link. 

The present review intends to cover the work reported on nonlinear optics at liquid-liquid interface since the first report of S. G. Grubb et al. [18]. The theoretical aspects of nonlinear optics are first introduced in Section II. The experimental results covering the molecular structure of liquid interfaces are presented in Section III, followed by a section devoted to the dynamics and the reactivity at these interfaces. Section V focuses on new aspects where spherical interfaces with radii of curvature of the order of the wavelength of light are investigated. Section VI presents the field of SFG.

The reaction of racemic Sb-chiral l-phenyl-2-trimethylsilylstibindole with the optically active ortho-palladated benzylamine derivative, di-p-chlorobis (S)-2-[l-dimethylamino)ethyl]phenyl-C,N dipalladium, leads to diastereomeric complexes which were used for the separation of the enantiomers of the stibindoles.65 The molecular structures of the diastereomeric palladium complexes are depicted in Fig. 4.
