The hydride-transfer reactions of the sec-C H-j ion are only 0.16 eV (3.6 kcal) more exothermic than the corresponding reactions of the sec-C4H9 ion. Indeed, the results given in Table III show that the ion reacts only slightly faster (1.2-1.5 times) than the sec-C Hg ion, and that generally the rates of reaction with different molecules follow the same trends. (The collision rate constant for the propyl ion is about 3-9% greater than that for the butyl ion.)... 

Alcohols react with metal hydrides, MH, and with hydrogen halides, HX, but in very different ways. Proton transfer is involved in both reactions, but different molecules act as the proton donor and acceptor. 

Table I gives a selection of bare metal cation reactions with neural molecules. As Eller and Schwarz (9) comprehensively reviewed the area of bare metal ion reactions, most of the reactions discussed in this chapter will be of work later than 1990. Earlier work will be used if specific examples show interesting coordination chemistry or if the early examples differ from later work.

As we have seen, both cyclohexane and decalin are a binary mixture of conformers. As discussed earlier, it is obvious that conformers of the decalin cation-radical act in parallel, whereas conformers of the cyclohexane cation-radical have quite different kinetics of their reactions with uncharged molecules of a solvent and a solute. 

This one-step radiofluorination being not always possible (see for instance the preparation of F-sulfonylureas [116]), small F-labelled molecules have been synthesized and their rapid transformations or reactions with different types of substrates studied. 

Typical chemical bonds used to formulate energetic materials are C-NOj, N-NOj, O-NO2, N-N, and 0-0 bonds. When such bonds are broken in molecules due to thermal decomposibon or reactions with other molecules, molecules of the gases CO2 and N2 are formed, as shown in Fig. 2.1. The difference between the bond energy of the energetic material and that of the gas molecules is released as heat energy. The chemical bond energies of typical bonds found in molecules related to combustion are shown in Table 2.1.11-3]... 

Enantiomeric compounds differ from one another only in two aspects The chiroptical characteristics (optical rotation) and the speed of their reaction with chiral molecules. The human olfactory organ is also capable of distinguishing chiral molecules. The odor quality and potency of enantiomeric compounds may show considerable differences. Thus, distinct differentiation in odor perception could be observed in the pairs of enantiomeric oxygenated monoterpenoid odorants. " However, the... 

These results indicate that the same crystalline face does not necessarily exhibit the same catalytic properties with different molecules. Thus, the (010) face of a-Mo03 is selective for the formation of aldehydes from alcohols while it promotes essentially the deep oxidation of olefins. It is expected that the studies on structure-sensitive reactions will be made more quantitative using recent methods to determine the number of surface M=0 species (425 —7). It should be noted that the earlier observation on the specificity of Mo03 crystalline faces in propylene oxidation has been obtained on oriented Mo03-graphite catalysts (425k). Non-structure-sensitive reactions have also been reported (425k). 

Very closely related to the problems of radical reactivity which we have been discussing is the unusual reactivity of carbenes. The simplest of these, CH2, is found to undergo three different types of reaction with stable molecules. They are ... 

Evidence for the potential dependence of the transfer coefficient predicted by eqn. (155) is not very clear. However, variations beyond experimental error have recently been observed by Saveant and Tessier for a series of simple electron transfer reactions with organic molecules in different non-aqueous solvents [70a]. 

The kinetics of e,r decay in vitreous MTHF and ethanol at 77 K by reactions with different mono- and bifunctional acceptor molecules was studied by Huddleston and Miller in the time interval 10 6 to 102s. The structural formulae of some of the compounds used by these authors are presented in Fig. 20. Preliminary experiments had established an inertness of the bridges connecting Bj and B2 in the molecules B, -B2 with respect to trapping of etr. Figure 21 presents typical curves of elr decay in vitreous solutions containing (1) only one monofunctional acceptor B, (PEOA) in a concentration N (2) only one monofunctional acceptor B2 (AEOA) in the same concentration TV (3) simultaneously both the monofunctional acceptors B, and B2, each in... 

Combinatorial libraries are often synthesized using simple molecules with only a few synthetic steps, whereas natural products are produced in complex multi-step reactions with complex molecules. Also, the parameter space between natural products and chemical libraries seems to be different Synthesized drugs occupy an intermediate space between natural and chemical libraries, also a hint that the space of the drug libraries should be adjusted. 

The situation is quite different in the case of even-numbered radicals. Such radicals can obviously be formed without especially reactive partners from ordinary molecules and vice versa They may disappear from the mixture by reaction with ordinary molecules without being displaced by another reactive partner. 

Absorption of radiation energy may lead to dissociation of the absorbing molecule. In fact, in most of photochemical reactions involving molecules, the primary step is usually dissociation of some molecules into atoms, simple molecules or free radicals, which by further interaction either with each other or with different molecules continue the reaction sequence. The primary photochemical stage is dissociation. The secondary reaction proceeds by thermal means.
