Oxygen rotational

Tlie results of Table 8 suggest (1) that the ions must be free for a finite period of time since some mixing of the was observed (2) that the steps leading to the ester are extremely fast ones since they compete successfully with fast processes leading to randomization of the oxygens (rotation of the anion, translation, etc ) and (3) that with the exception of the extreme case— the bridgehead one—the results for runs in a common solvent are remarkably independent of the nature of the alkyl group (R)...

Rotation about the carbon-nitrogen bond is slow in amides The methyl groups of NJ dimethylformamide are nonequivalent because one is cis to oxygen the other cis to hydrogen...

Because of point 2, rotational microwave and millimetre wave spectroscopy are powerllil techniques for determining dipole moments. However, the direction of the dipole moment cannot be determined. In the case of 0=C=S, for which /r = 0.715 21 0.000 20 D [(2.3857 0.0007) x 10 ° C m], a simple electronegativity argument leads to the correct conclusion - that the oxygen end of the molecule is the negative end of the dipole. However, in CO, the value of 0.112 D (3.74 x 10 C m) is so small that only accurate electronic stmcture calculations can be relied upon to conclude correctly that the carbon end is the negative one. 

Electronic excitation from atom-transfer reactions appears to be relatively uncommon, with most such reactions producing chemiluminescence from vibrationaHy excited ground states (188—191). Examples include reactions of oxygen atoms with carbon disulfide (190), acetylene (191), or methylene (190), all of which produce emission from vibrationaHy excited carbon monoxide. When such reactions are carried out at very low pressure (13 mPa (lO " torr)), energy transfer is diminished, as with molecular beam experiments, so that the distribution of vibrational and rotational energies in the products can be discerned (189). Laser emission at 5 p.m has been obtained from the reaction of methylene and oxygen initiated by flash photolysis of a mixture of SO2, 2 2 6 (1 )-...
