Polynuclear system

May be used for disubstituted, polyheterocyclic, and polynuclear systems if deviations due to steric and mesomeric effects are allowed for. 

Bake sulfonation is an important variant of the normal sulfonation procedure. The reaction is restricted to aromatic amines, the sulfate salts of which ate prepared and heated (dry) at a temperature of approximately 200°C in vacuo. The sulfonic acid group migrates to the ortho or para positions of the amine to give a mixture of orthanilic acid [88-21-1] and sulfanilic acid [121 -57-3] respectively. This tendency is also apparent in polynuclear systems so that 1-naphthylamine gives 1-naphthy1amine-4-su1fonic acid. 

Polynuclear aromatics react with fluoroxy reagents to give high yields of ortho substitution products accompanied by varying yields of geminal difluoro products Thegeminal difluonnation occurs presumably by an addition-elimination mechanism [27 28, 29, 30, 31, 32] Unactivated aromatic systems are fluorinated in lower yield to give monofluonnated products (Table 1, entries 6 and 7) Examples of fluonnation of polynuclear systems [/5, 21, 25, 30, 32, 7 ] are shown m equations 7-10... 

Detailed kinetic studies are essential to help establish that a multicenter complex is not dissociating to an active monomeric catalyst—as is usually the case (/, p. 405). An added problem in some of these ligand-deficient systems (394. 405) is to establish that the catalysis is homogeneous. Even when an active polynuclear system is confirmed, it is likely impossible to demonstrate unequivocally that reactivity does not occur at a single... 

Many of the methods used for the preparation of mononuclear hydrides may be applied to the polynuclear systems. Base attack on metal carbonyls, which furnished one of the first methods for the production of carbonyl hydride species, is applicable to a wide range of carbonyls. Borohydride reduction leads to a variety of products, depending upon the reaction conditions, Os3(CO)12 reacting with NaBH in di-oxane under reflux to give, after 4 hours, a mixture of the anions [H30s4(C0)12] and [H2Os4(CO)i2]2 (79). The related reaction in tetra-hydrofuran for 1 hour yields the anion [HOs3(CO)n]- as the main product with minor amounts of the two tetranuclear anions. 

Electrochemical studies192 show that reduction of polynuclear systems involve intermediate formation of radical anions, e.g.94. ... 

Table 3 shows the values of M and T evaluated for all the transition metals in terms of Eq. (1) and (3). Comparison of these estimates with the values in Table 1 shows satisfactory agreement in most polynuclear systems. While it is not suggested that there is any necessary relation between M, f and A//f (M, g), it is clear that these empirical relationships provide a useful index of the strengths of bonds in polynuclear systems and give at least some indication of the magnitude of b.e.cs in other systems. 

Cyano-bridged complexes include both di- and polynuclear systems. Spectroelectrochemical studies of the oxidized and reduced forms of [(bpy)2(CN)Ru(/r-CN)Ru(C (bpy)2] have been carried out. This cation and its reduced form exhibit UV-vis spectra that are consistent with the chromophores being identical. Experimental evidence indicates that the one-electron oxidation... 

It can be appreciated that this type of polynuclear system in general possesses a high degree of flexibility thanks to the possibility of tuning its spectroscopic properties through changes of metal centers, of coordinated or bridging... 

Models for the electronic structure of polynuclear systems were also developed. Except for metals, where a free electron model of the valence electrons was used, all methods were based on a description of the electronic structure in terms of atomic orbitals. Direct numerical solutions of the Hartree-Fock equations were not feasible and the Thomas-Fermi density model gave ridiculous results. Instead, two different models were introduced. The valence bond formulation (5) followed closely the concepts of chemical bonds between atoms which predated quantum theory (and even the discovery of the electron). In this formulation certain reasonable "configurations" were constructed by drawing bonds between unpaired electrons on different atoms. A mathematical function formed from a sum of products of atomic orbitals was used to represent each configuration. The energy and electronic structure was then... 

The complex chemistry of the hydrosulfido ligand has emerged during the last decade. The bonding versatility of this ligand is immediately obvious from Figure 1, and for each of the types A-C examples have been reported in the literature. This flexibility is mainly due to the fact that the SH group can act as a one-, three- or five-electron donor. However, polynuclear systems with and...

The most comprehensive information obtained from a Mossbauer spectrum is contained in Bint that depends on the magnetic hyperfine tensor A and, through (S), on the ZFS, the electronic g tensor (and exchange couplings when we consider polynuclear systems). For samples containing randomly oriented molecules, such as poly crystalline powders or molecules in frozen solution, the Mossbauer spectrum depends on the orientation of the molecule relative to the direction of the applied field,4 6 which is fixed in the laboratory and is generally either parallel or perpendicular to the direction of Mossbauer radiation. As a consequence, the spectrum is a powder average from which we have to extract the various tensor quantities of...
