Resonance energies free bases

It is the only example of a free, persistent phosphirenylium ion, and also, only one stable transition-metal complex of this species was published [78,79]. Quantum chemical calculations [80,81] indicated that in the halogeno-phosphirenes the P-X bonds already possesses a high ionic character and can be described as interactions between phosphirenylium and halide ions. The aromatic character of the phosphirenylium ion was shown to be based on a three-centre two-electron bond of 7i-type and the resonance energy was assessed by calculation to 38 kcal/mol. Before the generation of 32, substituted phosphirenylium ions were... 

Experimental log k2 values were correlated with Brown para-localization energies, Dewar reactivity numbers, Herndon structure count ratios, Hess-Schaad resonance energy differences, indices of free valence, and second-order perturbation stabilization energies. The latter are based on Fukui s frontier orbital theory [67] which classifies the Diels-Alder reaction of benzenoid hydrocarbons with maleic anhydride as mainly HOMO (aromatic hydrocarbon)-LUMO (maleic anhydride) controlled. However, the corresponding orbital interaction energy given by... 

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR), also known as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), is based on the property that an unpaired electron placed in a magnetic field shows a typical resonance energy absorption spectrum sensitive to its environment. Recently, this technique, which was primarily developed for biological studies of membrane properties, has been adapted for the study of adsorbed polymer/surfactant layers. The mobility of the ESR probe (stable free radical incorporated into the polymer or surfactant molecule) depends of orientation of the surfactant or polymer and the viscosity of the local environment around the probe. 

The theory was described as being parameter-free in a sense that it avoids the use of empirical parameters for reference structure bond energies based on least-squares fitting of numerical data and that it does not need the distinction of eight bond references for hydrocarbon used in the Hess—Schaad scheme. The first papers were on hydrocarbons and gave similar results to the Hess—Schaad resonance energy (HSRE) method. The same, of course, is true for the papers by Aihara. ° It is clear, however, that such a theory cannot be parameter-free if heteroatoms are involved. These concern the /tx and /cc-x parameters of HMO theory. ...
