Rotational anti-correlation

Energy transfer from molecules to the lattice are significantly more complicated because translational energy may simultaneously be transferred to molecular coordinates, e.g. rotation. /, as well as the lattice. Even for weak molecule-surface interactions, there is still strong anisotropy in the repulsive part of the PES, which causes strong translational-rotational conversion, En J. Because of the competition for En by both E and. /, an anti-correlation is observed between energy... 

For alkenes ll- and 11-Z, the syn methyl groups have lower rotational barriers than the corresponding anti ones by 0.5 kcalmoG. This is in the opposite direction to the proposed theoretical model. However, for alkene 4 there is a correlation between rotational barriers and ene reactivity. Alkenes 12 and 59 also demonstrate impressively that there is... 

Berberis empetrifolia yielded the unstable base coyhaiquinine (471), C26H25N05. The structure was proposed principally from the completely resolved 200-MHz FT NMR spectrum, and the alkaloid was shown to have syn geometiy at the spiro center by NMR correlations with the related syn compounds 46,107,149,262, and 359 and with the anti alkaloids 108 and 109. Insufficient material was available for exact determination of optical rotation, but the general form of the CD curve resembles that of coyhaiquine (107), indicating the absolute configuration shown (554). 

The syn and anti conformations of pyrimidine ribonucleosides have an opposite sign for certain transitions (e.g., the B2u transition) (67B843 69JA831 71JA(93)1600 72JCP2736 72MI3). Such relations are empirical correlations, since the molecular structures are too complicated to allow theoretical calculations of the rotational strengths. A combination of DNMR, CD spectroscopy, and molecular mechanics calculations has been applied to derivatives of indole 77 and thiazoline-2-thione 78 substituted by chiral rotors (Scheme 58). In these molecules the rotor adopts one of the bisected... 

The conformation isomerism in a wide range (31 examples) of 1-sub-stituted derivatives of 3,3-dimethylbutane has been examined. In some cases, the temperature variation of the vicinal coupling constants was studied. In 1,1,2-trichloroethane the coupling constants of the gauche and anti isomers are deduced from solvent-dependent changes in the observed coupling constants. In some similar systems (1,1,2-trichloro- and 1,1,2-tribromoethane in carbon tetrachloride and in benzene), a correlation of the dipole moments of the compounds and the vicinal coupling constants was found.Rotational isomerism in the phenylalanine anion and dipolar ion has been studied in deuterium oxide solutions. 

The C=S/C=0 transformation proceeded without rotation about the axis (Figure 42). The absolute configuration P,P of the (+)-form of the (anti)-570a/(syn)-570a pair was determined by X-ray structures, and chemical correlation according to a scheme that allowed the determination of the absolute configuration of all the stereomers (02CHI665). 

Fig. 6.11 Correlation diagram for Cgo- The Fries and Qar structures are bonding extremes, where double bonds are either locahzed on the 30 bonds between the pentagons (Fries), or form isolated aromatic sextets on the twelve pentagons. The true conjugation scheme is found in between, and is characterized by six unoccupied levels, which are anti-bonding in the Fries structure and bonding in the Clar structure, and which transform as rotations and translations. Buckminsterfullerene has low-lying LUMO and LUMO-l-1 levels of huiFr) and t g(FR) symmetry...

The Clar structure thus has six extra bonding orbitals as compared with the Fries structure. When both bonding schemes are correlated, as illustrated in Fig. 6.11, this sextet must correlate with the anti-bonding half of the Fries stmcture. It will thus be placed on top of the Clar band, and actually be nearly non-bonding, forming six low-lying virtual orbitals, which explains the electron deficiency of the leapfrog fullerenes. Moreover, as the derivation shows, they transform exactly as rotations and translations. 

The syn and anti isomers of hexadiene have a mirror plane and a twofold rotational axis respectively, each of which bisects the a bonds broken and formed in the rearrangement. Woodward and Hoffmann themselves set up a correlation diagram in C2v between hexadiene - treated as if it were planar - and an infinitely separated pair of allyl radicals [1, p. 149], in an attempt to rationalize the stereochemical course of the reaction. Dewar [2] rejects their attempt as forced , adding It is clear that no simple interpretation is possible in terms of orbital correlations. ...
