When the electron density of a carbon-carbon bond is reduced by strongly electron-withdrawing substituents, nucleophilic attack at one of the vinylic or acetylenic carbons may occur. Electron withdrawal may be either by induction or by resonance. Examples of nucleophilic addition are shown in Equations 7.49-7.53. 

The regiochemistry of this allylic substitution is determined primarily by steric factors.9 Substitution occurs from the less hindered side of allylic complex 22. This behavior is typical for attack by soft nucleophiles. Soft nucleophiles are distinguished by the fact that their charge can be stabilized by resonance. Examples include not only sulfones but also nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones, and esters of carboxylic acids. 

Powerful ortho, para-directors that stabilize the sigma complexes through resonance. Examples are —OH, —OR, and —NR2 groups.

Monomers that are best able to undergo polymerization by a cationic mechanism are those with substituents that can stabilize the positive charge at the propagating site by donating electrons inductively or by resonance. Examples of monomers that undergo cationic polymerization are given in Table 28.4. 

The dense linear system in Eq. 16, without any sparsification, could be very expensive to solve for large-scale systems. The computational time of a direct solver, for example, the Gaussian elimination, grows as the cube of the number of unknowns. For the resonator example, there are near 60,000 unknowns in the discretization shown in Fig. 3. Gaussian elimination would require more than 300,000 gigaflops to solve. In addition, the memory required to store the matrix grows as the square of the number of unknowns, and for the resonator example, it would require more than 40 gigabytes. 

The polymer concentration profile has been measured by small-angle neutron scattering from polymers adsorbed onto colloidal particles [70,71] or porous media [72] and from flat surfaces with neutron reflectivity [73] and optical reflectometry [74]. The fraction of segments bound to the solid surface is nicely revealed in NMR studies [75], infrared spectroscopy [76], and electron spin resonance [77]. An example of the concentration profile obtained by inverting neutron scattering measurements appears in Fig. XI-7, showing a typical surface volume fraction of 0.25 and layer thickness of 10-15 nm. The profile decays rapidly and monotonically but does not exhibit power-law scaling [70]. 

Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy. Several ESR studies have been reported for adsorption systems [85-90]. ESR signals are strong enough to allow the detection of quite small amounts of unpaired electrons, and the shape of the signal can, in the case of adsorbed transition metal ions, give an indication of the geometry of the adsorption site. Ref. 91 provides a contemporary example of the use of ESR and of electron spin echo modulation (ESEM) to locate the environment of Cu(II) relative to in a microporous aluminophosphate molecular sieve. 

Other resonances, of order n m, are possible in various systems. Another type of resonance is a multimode resonance. For example, in C2H2 the coupling... 

As discussed above, the nonlinear material response, P f) is the most connnonly encountered nonlinear tenn since vanishes in an isotropic medium. Because of the special importance of P we will discuss it in some detail. We will now focus on a few examples ofP spectroscopy where just one or two of the 48 double-sided Feymnan diagrams are important, and will stress the dynamical interpretation of the signal. A pictorial interpretation of all the different resonant diagrams in temis of wavepacket dynamics is given in [41]. 

The SHG/SFG technique is not restricted to interface spectroscopy of the delocalized electronic states of solids. It is also a powerful tool for spectroscopy of electronic transitions in molecules. Figure Bl.5.13 presents such an example for a monolayer of the R-enantiomer of the molecule 2,2 -dihydroxyl-l,l -binaphthyl, (R)-BN, at the air/water interface [ ]. The spectra reveal two-photon resonance features near wavelengths of 332 and 340 mu that are assigned to the two lowest exciton-split transitions in the naphtli-2-ol... 

Collision-induced dissociation mass spectrum of tire proton-bound dimer of isopropanol [(CH2)2CHOH]2H. The mJz 121 ions were first isolated in the trap, followed by resonant excitation of their trajectories to produce CID. Fragment ions include water loss mJz 103), loss of isopropanol mJz 61) and loss of 42 anui mJz 79). (b) Ion-molecule reactions in an ion trap. In this example the mJz 103 ion was first isolated and then resonantly excited in the trap. Endothennic reaction with water inside the trap produces the proton-bound cluster at mJz 121, while CID produces the fragment with mJz 61. 

The absolute measurement of areas is not usually usefiil, because tlie sensitivity of the spectrometer depends on factors such as temperature, pulse length, amplifier settings and the exact tuning of the coil used to detect resonance. Peak intensities are also less usefiil, because linewidths vary, and because the resonance from a given chemical type of atom will often be split into a pattern called a multiplet. However, the relative overall areas of the peaks or multiplets still obey the simple rule given above, if appropriate conditions are met. Most samples have several chemically distinct types of (for example) hydrogen atoms within the molecules under study, so that a simple inspection of the number of peaks/multiplets and of their relative areas can help to identify the molecules, even in cases where no usefid infonnation is available from shifts or couplings.
