Electron delocalization can be important in ions as well as in neutral molecules Using curved arrows show how an equally stable resonance structure can be generated for each of the following anions... 

These are the most important rules to be concerned with at present Additional aspects of electron delocalization as well as additional rules for Its depiction by way of resonance structures will be developed as needed in subsequent chapters... 

In addition to intermolecular interactions in the solid state, the relative importance of the two resonance structures A and B is an important issue in the structural determinations of selena- and tellura-diazoles. ° The Se-N bond lengths fall within the range 1.78-1.81 A and the Te-N bond lengths are 2.00-2.05 A compared to single bond values of 1.86 and 2.05 A, respectively. It can be concluded that resonance structure A is more important than B for the Se and, especially, the Te... 

Probably the most important development of the past decade was the introduction by Brown and co-workers of a set of substituent constants,ct+, derived from the solvolysis of cumyl chlorides and presumably applicable to reaction series in which a delocalization of a positive charge from the reaction site into the aromatic nucleus is important in the transition state or, in other words, where the importance of resonance structures placing a positive charge on the substituent - -M effect) changes substantially between the initial and transition (or final) states. These ct+-values have found wide application, not only in the particular side-chain reactions for which they were designed, but equally in electrophilic nuclear substitution reactions. Although such a scale was first proposed by Pearson et al. under the label of and by Deno et Brown s systematic work made the scale definitive. 

The total experimental material known to the present authors is summarized in Table I. Unfortunately, few of the data presented come from the most thoroughly studied and best documented reaction series. However, the picture is quite discouraging. Very likely, separate a - and normal ct-values and, possibly further, a separate CT+-value might be applicable for the 2- and 4-aza groupings since resonance structures such as 2-4 may contribute in appropriate systems, although 4 may not be too important, and, consequently. 

Illuminati et al. have also investigated the methoxydechlorination of 4-substituted-2- and 2-substituted-4-chloroquinolines. The relation between the reaction site, the 2- or 4-position, and the substituent in the 4- or 2-position, respectively, is always meta. The authors found the two reaction series well correlated with one another, but diverging quite seriously from the Hammett correlation. They concluded that mesomerically electron-donating substituents, because of the importance of resonance structures like 12 and 13, are more deactivating than expected, while electron-withdrawing substituents, and even the methyl group, seem to follow normal a correlation. 

In order to really assess the magnitude of the electrostatic effect in lysozyme on a microscopic level it is important to simulate the actual assumed chemical process. This can be done by describing the general acid catalysis reaction in terms of the following resonance structures ... 

In order to explore mechanism a, or any other mechanism, we have to start by defining the most important resonance structures and calibrating their energies using the relevant experimental information for the reference system in solution. The key resonance structures for the formation of t in mechanism a are... 

In 1999, Karl Christe synthesized and characterized a salt that contained the N,+ cation, in which the five N atoms are connected in a long chain. This cation is the first allnitrogen species to be isolated in more than 100 years. Draw the most important Lewis structure for this ion, including all equivalent resonance structures. Calculate the formal charges on all atoms. 

In this chapter, you will learn the tools that you need to draw resonance structures with proficiency. I cannot adequately stress the importance of this skill. Resonance is the one topic that permeates the entire subject matter from start to finish. It finds its way into every chapter, into every reaction, and into your nightmares if you do not master the rules of resonance. You cannot get an A in this class without mastering resonance. So what is resonance And why do we need it ... 

The compound above has two important resonance structures. Notice that we separate resonance structures with a straight, two-headed arrow, and we place brackets around the structures. The arrow and brackets indicate that they are resonance structures of one molecule. The molecule is not flipping back and forth between the different resonance structures. 

Now we know what curved arrows are, but how do we know when to push them and where to push them First, we need to learn where we cannot push arrows. There are two important rules that you should never violate when pushing arrows. They are the two commandments of drawing resonance structures ...
