Rule-breakers

In Chapters 2 and 3 we examined clusters that violated the electron-counting rules for a variety of reasons breakdown of the separation between external and internal 

1 Variable electron count with constant shape 

2 Unusual electron count combined with unusual shape 

Answer. The connectivity of Cp 2Re2B Hii cannot be generated from the observed structure of Cp 2Re2B9H9 by removing two adjacent BH fragments (the two adjacent four-connect vertices cause the problem). However, if one first performs a dsd rearrangement as shown below, then the observed shape can be generated by two debor operations. Protonation on the open face produces the observed structure. 

The classic work of Dahl provides the [Cp4Fe4S4] + clusters which have been structurally characterized for n = 0,1 and 2. In addition, the structure of CP4C04S4

Rebelliousness Defiant, disobedient, rule breaker. Often in hostile nature. Difficult to work with. 

Exercise 2.9. The cluster [Ali ]2-, with two bare A1 atoms, exhibits the unusual shape shown below and has been called a nano-wheel. In light of the discussion above of rule-breakers, consider its electronic structure at the level of electron counting and suggest a reasonable analysis. 

Molecular vs. solid-state clusters rule-breakers... 

In each of the molecular-cluster chapters we eventually came to the rule-breakers. We are at that point again. Our example deals with metal clusters of a familiar geometry that are found in the Chevrel phases. Young readers will not appreciate... 

In Fig. 4.1 we present a plot of the dissociation energies of the homonuclear diatomic molecules H2, X2 and M2 as a function of the bond distances. The bond distances reflect the sizes of the atoms involved. Indeed, one might define the bonding radius of the atom A as half the single bond distance A-A. It is seen that - except for the rule-breaker F2 - the bond energy decreases with increasing bond distance large atoms form weak bonds. 

The major contribution to the study of the social typing process itself comes from the interactionist or transactional approach to deviance. The focus here is on how society labels rule-breakers as belonging to certain deviant groups and how, once the person is thus type cast, his acts are Interpreted in terms of the status to which he has been assigned. It is to this body of theory that we must turn for our major orientation to the study of both moral panics and social types. 

When you ask employees what happens to people who violate safety and health rules or safe work practices, do they indicate that rule breakers are clearly and consistently held accountable Do hourly employees indicate that supervisors and managers genuinely care about meeting safety and health responsibilities When asked what happens when rules are broken, do hourly employees complain that supervisors and managers do not follow rules and are never disciplined for infractions ... 

I think that there is a difference between rules because of lack of knowledge and breaking rules persistently and persistent rule breakers should be punished, (worker, interviewee 53)... 

Mine safety often becomes a confrontation between a rule enforcer and a rule breaker. As such, safety is viewed as compliance with certain safety policies and mandates. One person holds another accountable for at-risk behavior, as in I saw what you did. Safety becomes a gotcha game, one dictated by Mine...
