Oxygen hybridization

These spectral differences are related to different Ti-O-Si bond angle of the Ti sites. Indeed, an angle opening will shift the bridging oxygen hybridization from sp3 to sp2 and... 

The n—7r stabilizing interaction which obtains in each conformation is listed above. Since the oxygen 2p lone pair AO is a better intrinsic donor orbital than the oxygen hybrid sp2 lone pair AO, we conclude that n—tt interactions favor the conformation in which all atoms are contained in the same plane. 

While polymers most commonly consist of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, hybrid materials containing metals or other elements represent an important class of materials [76-78]. Hybrid materials too have been used as hyperbranched grafts. Two examples of such materials are described here. The first is a polysiloxane graft. The second is a dendritic coordination polymer based on a thermally and oxygen stable Pd(II) pincer complex [79]. 

The values of 6 are estimated by methods described in the Appendix this gives 6 = 0.455 for the sp oxygen hybrid orbital and 8 = tt/4 for the sd vanadium hybrid orbital The tetrahedral hybrid, 6 — 7r/6, is used for the water oxygen c orbital...

The upper entries in Table 7.1 summarize details of the LC-NHO expansions for valence Lewis-type NBOs of formaldehyde at the B3LYP/6-311-H-G""" level. The carbon and oxygen hybrids of a o and Gch have the expected sp -like composition, and the polarization coefficients vary in the expected way with elec-... 

Finally, it is of interest to relate the levels obtained in terms of this simple bonding unit of transition-metal d states and six oxygen hybrids to the bands we discussed earlier. Three of the d states have no a matrix elements with the hybrid. and we are dropping n matrix elements these three correspond to the triply degenerate state r 25 at the energy e. The other two d states are equally. sliiftcd... 

The decreased p-character in the lone pair is due to increased p-character in the oxygen hybrids that form the 0-R bonds and can be considered as a consequence of the Bent s rule.
