It was pointed out that a different array of atomic orbitals might be conceived of in large conjugated rings. The array, called a Mobius twist, results in there being one point in the ring at which the atomic orbitals have a phase reversal (node).  

If the ring were sufficiently large that the twist between individual orbitals was small, such a system would not necessarily be less stable than the normal array of atomic orbitals. This same analysis points out that in such an array the Htickel rule is reversed and aromaticity is predicted for the An rr-electron systems.

So far, no ground state molecule in which the twisted conjugation exists has been made. Whatever stabilization is associated with aromaticity in the Mobius structures is

A report was concerned with the ability of nitroxyl radicals, such as TEMPO and other related structures, to act as catalysts in the asymmetric oxidation of alcohols. Cyclic voltammetry was used to measure the oxidation potentials of the nitroxyl... 

Isomer stabilities and activation energies have been calculated for keto-enol tautomerization of simple carbonyl compounds, MeC(R)=X (X = O R = H, Me) 129 both specific and bulk solvent effects have been analysed. Related isomerizations of acid derivatives (R = F, CN) and other related structures (R = H X = CF12, NH, S) are compared. 

Berenguer et al. also investigated the photophysical properties of cyclometallated complexes, but focused their attention on the CANAC platform, studying the anionic acetylide derivatives as well as other related structures, 3.12 [67], Contrary to the results obtained by Che in the NANAC structures, these complexes do not display photoluminescence in solution at RT. The absorption spectra in all cases are dominated by IL n-n and CT transitions. To the best of our knowledge these are the only reports on the photophysics of cyclometallated Ptn acetylide complexes to date. 

However, another study was an example of nature appreciation—the structure of thiamine was varied to learn what was special about the particular thiazolium derivative that was natural thiamine (11). As a chemical catalyst—ignoring the question of what effect changes would have on the ability of the coenzyme to bind to the proteins that have evolved to use it—thiamine proved to be the optimal relative to other related structures because of a balance of catalytic ability and chemical stability. The anion 4 derived from an imidazolium ring instead of a thiazolium ring was a weaker catalyst but was more stable in water (10). [The imidazolium aiuon and its dihydro derivative have proven to be very useful metal ion ligands, including...

In the air-sandwich structure, which consists of two disks bonded face to face and separated by a spacer-defined air gap, the substrate becomes the protective layer. Very high quality optical substrates are necessary because the write and read functions take place through the disk. The air gap is advantageous for ablative media. Other related structures have been disclosed in which a thin polymer film is supported physically or aerodynam-ically some distance above the recording surface (12). 

Schemas, ontologies and other related structures commonly need to be merged in a number of different applications. This happens for a number of reasons. For example ...

In blood, 70-80% of " Tc-pertechnetate is bound to proteins. Perchlorate has been shown to displace pertechnetate from plasma protein-binding sites (Oldendorf et al. 1970). The unbound fraction is preferentially concentrating in the thyroid gland and other related structures, such as salivary glands, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus, and mammary tissue. " Tc-pertechnetate is selectively excluded from the cerebrospinal fluid (Andros et al. 1965). 

The crystal structure of a natural sample of a 2M2 lepidolite (a mica-type mineral) from the island of Elba (Italy) has been determined by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction techniques and compared with that of a second 2M2 lepidolite from Rozna (Czechoslovakia) and other related structures. The two sets of unit-cell parameters are collated in Table 38. The most interesting features which emerge from the comparison are the constant presence of remarkable octahedral ordering and the almost identical composition of the tetrahedral sheets (Elba Si3 3oAlo.64 Rozna Sis soAlo.ei)... 

The PERT Coordinating Group (1962) defined a work package (WP) as The work required to complete a specific job or process, such as a report, a design, a documentation requirement or portion thereof, a piece of hardware, or a service. PMl (1996) states [A] work package is a deliverable at the lowest level of the WBS. Unfortunately, there is no accepted definition of the WPs nor accepted approach to link them with other related structures (foremost among them the OBS). In most cases, the WPs are defined in an informal, intuitive manner and without proper feedback loops to verify their definition. 

Antibiotics PS-5 1 [1] and PS-6 2 [2], and other related structures such as thienamycin 3 [3] (Fig. 1), comprise an interesting family of streptomycete metabolites characterized by the presence of the 7-oxo-l-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid system 4 carrying an exocyclic aminoethyltio substituent at C3 of the pyrroline ring and alkyl side chains at the a-position adjacent to the P-lactam carbonyl. 

There are several other related structures, some of which are thermosets. The significance of these polymers is their physical stability at peak temperatures of 300 C and above, together with high chemical stability. There are combinations of polyimides with polyamides and other modifications that aim at improved processability. The original polyimide is very difficult to process, being shaped only via compression or film casting, or by fiber spinning from solution. 

Several other related structure types are suggested by Lin and Wu (1996). Other less stable phases, or perhaps structural patterns, occur in thin layers formed by laser ablation, adopting the general formula (CaCu03), (Ba2Cu02C03) (Hervieu et al. 1996).
