In this section three main aspects will be considered. Firstly, the basic strengths of the principal heterocyclic systems under review and the effects of structural modification on this parameter will be discussed. For reference some pK values are collected in Table 3. Secondly, the position of protonation in these carbon-protonating systems will be considered. Thirdly, the reactivity aspects of protonation are mentioned. Protonation yields in most cases highly reactive electrophilic species. Under conditions in which both protonated and non-protonated base co-exist, polymerization frequently occurs. Further ipso protonation of substituted derivatives may induce rearrangement, and also the protonated heterocycles are found to be subject to ring-opening attack by nucleophilic reagents.

From the known starting points of HMO theory, the 7r-electron energy of the neutral w-electron system (E )f and the corresponding energy of the protonated system (E ) may be calculated. The difference of the two energies... 

The important impact of these experimental insights for molecular modeling is that the development of structure versus property relations of PEMs does not require multiscale approaches going all the way to the macroscopic scale. Rather, the main job is done if one arrives at the scale of several 10s of nanometers. Notably, operation at low hydration emphasizes even more the importance of (sub)nanoscale phenomena controlled by explicit interactions in the polymer-water-proton system. 

A spin system is defined as a group of coupled protons. Clearly, a spin system cannot extend beyond the bounds of a molecule, but it may not include a whole molecule. For example, isopropyl propionate comprises two separate and isolated proton spin systems, a seven-proton system for the isopropyl residue and a five-proton system for the propionate residue, because the ester group effectively provides a barrier (5 bonds) against coupling between the two parts. 

A lot of progress has been made in solving the quantum Zwanzig Hamiltonian and imderstanding its physical behavior in different regimes of the parameter space. Undoubtedly there are many open questions, but in the rest of this paper we will address a different question is the quantum Zwanzig Hamiltonian the appropriate model for realistic proton systems ... 

Lux—Flood Definition In contrast to the BrpnstedLowry theory, which emphasizes the proton as the principal species in acid-base reactions, the definition proposed by Lux and extended by Flood describes add-base behavior in terms of the oxide ion. This add-base concept was advanced to treat non protonic systems which were not amenable to the Bipnsted-Lowry definition. For example, in high-temperature inorganic melts, reactions such as the following take place ...

Protons that are chemically equivalent but magnetically nonequivalent are indicated by, for example, A A. The examples of such systems given below illustrate the medtod. This system for designating spin systems is merely a labeling device. The appearance of actual spectra will depend on die magnitude of die various J values. Nevertheless this is a convenient and common way of categorizing coupled proton systems. 

In these formulas the sum over the possible channels c must be carried out separately for each summand of the sum over the species. We will demonstrate this for the example of an electron-proton system, assuming that the index a, is the electron ex. The sum over the species produces the following three-particle combinations ... 

A study of the chiral discrimination in diaziridine clusters has been carried out using DFT computational methods [38]. The most stable neutral structure corresponds to that with the monomers in alternated chirality. The proton transfer within the neutral diaziridine chain proceeds with high TS barriers. The protonation of the fist diaziridine of the chain tends to produce a spontaneous proton transfer from the first monomer to the second (Fig. 3.18). The studied processes of proton transfer in the charged system show small barriers. The proton transfer in the neutral or protonated systems produces an inversion of the chirality of the monomers as the process evolves along the chain producing chirality waves. Finally, the calculated ORP of the clusters is very dependent on the cluster size, cyclic or helix shape, and on the number of monomers that form the cluster. 

Deprotonation of an OH group in aminodihydroxymethane is calculated to lengthen both the C—N bond and the remaining C—OH bond there is some conformational dependence of this lengthening, but it is similar to that observed in the neutral system and about a third of the effects calculated in the protonated system.
