Single connectors

There are several different types of local buses. One type is a bus slot, usually called something like a processor direct slot. It is used for adding higher-speed expansion cards, like memory or cache cards. And because it is a local bus slot, it runs at the processor s rated speed. It is usually a single connector, and it s highly proprietary. Usually, only cards made by the computer s manufacturer will work in this slot. 

Since reactive systems have a great practical relevance, many attempts have been made in recent years to adapt the techniques used for pre-made block copolymers to obtain more detailed information on the correlation between the interfacial structure and fracture toughness. The simplest case is that of a dilute solution of monodisperse chains with one reactive group per chain, located at the chain end. In this case, the mechanical problem of reinforcement becomes similar to that of single connector diblock copolymers discussed earlier. The important issues are then mostly related to the competition between grafting ki-... 

Needless to say, the embedded impedance for a single element is by far the simplest of the three types of impedance to implement. You only need a single connector at one element in the middle of the array, while all the others are terminated by resistors that can be either soldered in place or simply printed. In contrast, measurements of the scan impedance may require a connector or equivalent at each element, and, most importantly, we must be able to apply voltages at each terminal and be able to control these voltages in phase as well as amplitude. 

The inner shell, which is the first electronic shell closest to the nucleus, can contain a maximum of two electrons. For example, in the first period, which contains only H and He, the atoms have only one shell. He, the second element in the table, has two electrons in this shell, while the first element H has only one electron, which makes H a single connector. 

In the previous lecture, we built the molecule ethane (C2H ) from two H3C fragments. To refresh our memories, I repeat this construction in Scheme 4.2a, where the two single-connector fragments click to form a C—C bond between the H3C fragments. Now we may proceed to a more challenging construction process, making molecules from H3C and as many H2C fragments as needed. 

Let us now make a molecule that has four H3C fragments and as many C fragments as required. As shown in Scheme 4.3h, the four single-connector H3C fragments... 

SCHEME 4.R.4 (a) A cubic lattice of metal atoms (shown as greenish spheres), as found, for instance, in lithium (Li). Due to the uniform distances between the atoms, the bonding in metals is collective, (b) An example of the collective bonding of Li. Li is a single-connector fragment, and, hence, Lis collectively bonded due to the resonance between the two localized electronic structures, as the circle represents. 

In Lecture 3, we constructed wood alcohol, methanol (Scheme 5.1b), which is the smallest member of and a representative of the family called alcohols. As shown in Scheme 5.2a, all the family members are characterized by an OH group bonded to a carbon, which in turn can be bonded to a variety of groups. The next simple alcohol in Scheme 5.2b is ethanol. Based on the fragments kit in Scheme 5.1a, ethanol is constructed by clicking together the single-connector H3C with the double-connector H2C and the single-connector HO. Unlike methanol, which causes liver problems, blindness, and other ailments when drunk, ethanol, which is the alcohol used in wine and in spirits, is not at all harmful when drunk in moderate quantities. Of course, you cannot drink pure ethanol, but in the concentration it appears in wines (12-15%),... 

In the next step in Scheme 5.6b, we unclick C—H bonds, and we represent these sites with the electrons participating in connectivity in red. It is seen that there is one single connector C5H5 fragment, three different double connectors C6H4, and a few triple connectors, quadruple connectors, and so on. We can go on up to the sextuple-connector Cg, which we encountered in Lecture 4. 

In Scheme 5.6d, we show the construction of dopamine, which is implicated in addiction to pleasures, and as such it influences om ability to repeat actions that cause us pleasure to smoke, drink coffee, do what we do best, and learn. Dopamine is also in charge of our fine motor movements. As shown in the scheme, dopamine requires a specific triple-connector C Hg fragment, which clicks with the aminic chain components and with two single-connector OH fragments. 

Using the double connector C=0 fragment, we can click it to two carbon-based single-connector fragments to form the family of ketones. Acetone is a ketone, and all ketones share the (C)2C=0 unit. 

Scheme 5.8b depicts a saturated fatty acid, called palmitic acid, which is represented in the implicit cartoon with a skeleton without explicit notation of the C and H atoms. The term saturated means that there are no double bonds in the chain, and as can be seen beneath the structure, the chain is constructed from a click of one singleconnector HgC to 14 double-connector H2C fragments. The dangling connectivity of the last CH2 is in turn clicked to a single-connector COOH fragment. Palmitic acid is the most common fatty acid found in mammals, plants, and microorganisms. Excess carbohydrates in the body are converted to palmitic acid, and as a result, it is a major body component. As we drew it, the chain of palmitic acid is extended in shape, and therefore the many molecules of the acid can pack nicely together and... 

Thus, as seen in Scheme 6.3, since O is a double connector, it will require two single-connector fluorine atoms, and click, we obtain the molecule OF2 that obeys... 

SCHEME 6.9 Archetypal principles for constructing polymers Illustration of the condensation method (here clack-click) using the formation of polysiloxane (or silicone). X and Y can be any single connector chemical groups. 

A common initiator is a free radical R" that forms a bond with one of the electrons of the electron-pair bond in the alkene. This leaves an unpaired electron on the adjacent carbon, as shown in Scheme 6.10a. The formed species then attacks another double bond and repeats the activation pathway. This process is propagated, and like a zipper, it zips all the molecules into a polyalkene. The end of the chain can then be capped by a single-connector atom or fragment, such as H, which is abstracted from the reaction mixture (e.g., from the solvent). 

The first such molecule is made from a beryllium atom (Be) and as many hydrogen atoms as needed. Since Be is a double-connector atom and each H is a single connector, then as shown in Scheme 7.1, the atoms click and generate the familiar molecule BeH2- What shape will BeH2 prefer In order to predict the shape, we simply count the number of pairs around the atoms. Since Be is surrounded by two pairs, the maximum distance between the pairs will be obtained when the molecule adopts a hnear shape with a bond angle of 180° as shown in Scheme 7.1a. 

Consider now a molecule made from one B atom and as many F atoms as needed. As shown in Scheme 7.1b, since B is a triple connector and F a single connector, we need three F atoms to bind to B and click, we generate the molecule BF3. It is seen that we have several electron pairs around both B and F. However, since F is connected by one bond, the geometry around it is meaningless, and hence we disregard its lone pairs for our present purposes. But, as B has three bonds, it is meaningful to... 

SCHEME 7.7 The replacement of two hydrogen atoms (single connectors) by two chlorine atoms (single connectors) in ethylene leads to three isomers, called syn, cis, and trans. There is no free rotation around the double bond, so the cis and trans isomers cannot be converted to one another, unless a significant dose of energy is invested to break one of the components of the double bond. 

The C4H4 molecule in (Problem 7.9) has a planar isomer. Draw it and replace its H s by four different single connector atoms or groups. Is this molecule handed ... 

Thus, as shown in Scheme 8.3a, since Na and Cl are single connectors, they wiU click and form a single bond. Since the electronegativity difference of the Na and Cl qualifies this bond to be ionic (see Scheme 8.2), we clack and transfer the electron pair to the Cl. In this manner, we construct Na+Cl . 

Ionic bonds involve opposite ions glued together by electric attraction. The principle of construction of ionic bonds uses the click-clack method. Initially, we click the valence electrons based on the connectivity of the two atoms for example, for the single connectors Na and Cl, we can form one click bond. Subsequently, we clack and transfer the so-generated electron pair(s) to the more electronegative atom. In this manner, the two ions maintain their states of Nirvana and generate ionic bonds that obey the octet rule. 

Let us now turn to Scheme 9.2b. Consider the cobalt complex that was made by the combination of C0CI3 and ammonia. The use of C0CI3 means that we have an ionic compound Co +(Cr)3. Therefore, we must consider the binding capability of Co + with ammonia. Since Co + has only six valence electrons, it lacks six electron pairs to reach Nirvana, and hence it will be a six-fold connector and will form bonds with six ammonia molecules, each of which has a lone pair that acts as a single connector. The respective species are arranged in Scheme 9.2b, and click, they form the complex ion Co(NH3)6 ", which possesses six Co—N bonds, where both Co and N reached Nirvana. 

Scheme 9.3a shows typical two-electron (2e) ligands. Some of them are neutral molecules like ammonia, water, phosphines (PR3), and ethylene. Others are anions like chloride or other halides and cyanide (CN ). As shown by CHg", even alkyl anions can serve as ligands. All the 2e-ligands are single connectors. 

Pretending we have not seen it before, let us consider, as in Scheme 9.4a, constructing a complex of a Cr atom with one benzene (CgHs) molecule and as many carbon monoxide molecules as required. Since Cr has 6e, it is a six-fold connector atom, and since benzene is a three-fold connector molecule, we are going to also need three single-connector molecules of CO. And click, we form the piano stool complex, in which Cr has acquired its requisite 18e. 

Let us now turn to discuss the total electron count on the TM. The complexes in parts (a) and (b) of Scheme 9.6 involve two early TM cations, Ti and Sc +. The Ti ion has no electrons in the valence shell, and therefore to achieve Nirvana, the ion must bind nine single-connector ligands This is obviously too crowded, and the H " in Scheme 9.6a takes up two C5H5 ligands, which are three-fold connectors, and two Cl hgands, thus acquiring only 16e. This complex is by the way one of the Ziegler-Natta catalysts that performs polymerization of olefins (e.g., of H2C=CH2). 

Scheme 9.7 shows some of the applications of this concept by constructing new molecules made from the organic and TM complex fragments. Thus, taking the two single-connector fragments (CO)5Mn and CH3, we can form a new Mn—C bond and the new complex, (CO)5Mn-< H3, shown in Scheme 9.7a. Similarly, using the double connectors (CO)4Fe and CH2, we can form a new complex with a double...
