Structural formulae three-dimensional

None of these chemists stated that the chemical formulas were to be interpreted as showing the way in which the atoms are bonded together in space the formulas were used to indicate something about the Ways in which the substances take part in chemical reactions. The next step, that of assigning structures in three-dimensional space to the molecules, waB then taken by van t Hoff and le Bel. Exoerpts from some of the papers mentioned above are to be found in H. M. Leicester and H. S. Klickstein, A Source Book in Chemistry, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York, 1952. 

The term silsesquioxanes refers to all the structures with the empirical formula (RSiOi.sln, where R is a hydrogen or any alkyl, aryl, alkylene, arylene, or organofunctional derivative. Such compounds are synthesized by hydrolytic condensation of trifunctional silanes. The trifunctional nature of the silsesquioxane moieties allows the formation of a variety of structures, ranging from oligomeric cages to ordered ladder-like structure to three-dimensional network structure to functionalized silicates (called spherosilicates). 

Heptane Isomers must have the same formula but different structures. When drawing structures on paper, it is easiest to draw the carbon chain first and then add hydrogen atoms so that each carbon forms four bonds. We also have to remember that the real structures are three-dimensional and that drawing them on two-dimensional paper can be deceiving. For example, we might try to draw the isomers as follows ... 

So far we have emphasized structure in terms of electron bookkeeping We now turn our attention to molecular geometry and will see how we can begin to connect the three dimensional shape of a molecule to its Lewis formula Table 1 6 lists some simple com pounds illustrating the geometries that will be seen most often m our study of organic chemistry... 

In the Fischer convention, the ermfigurations of other molecules are described by the descriptors d and L, which are assigned comparison with the reference molecule glyceraldehyde. In ertqrloying the Fischer convention, it is convenient to use projection formulas. These are planar representations defined in such a w as to convey three-dimensional structural information. The molecule is oriented with the major carbon chain aligned vertically in such a marmer that the most oxidized terminal carbon is at the top. The vertical bonds at each carbon are directed back, away fiom the viewer, and the horizontal bonds are directed toward the viewer. The D and L forms of glyceraldehyde are shown below with the equivalent Fischer projection formulas. 

Methane is a tetrahedral molecule its four hydrogens occupy the corners of a tetrahedron with carbon at its center. We often show three-dimensionality in structural formulas by using a solid wedge ) to depict a bond projecting from the paper toward... 

Two pictures of two spatial (three-dimensional) models can represent the same structural formula without representing the same stereoformula they describe the same structural formula if they exhibit the same relationships (if they are topologically congruent, i.e., they satisfy conditions (I), (II), (III)). In order to describe the same stereoformula they must display the same relationships and the same spatial orientation [they satisfy (I), (II), (III), and in addition (IV) (with A ), that is, be spatially congruent]. If two formulas viewed as stereoformulas are equal then they are certainly equal when they are treated as structural formulas. Consequently there are at least as many stereoisomers as there are structural isomers. This fact is reflected by (2.8). It is true particularly for paraffins and monosubstituted paraffins. 

The formulas in Figure 18-1 all represent the same structure the choice of which formula to use depends upon what feature of the structure is to be emphasized. The first and second drawings emphasize the three-dimensional nature of... 

Under the mineralogical name zeolite such sieves occur naturally. For technical purposes due to their higher uniformity only synthetic zeolites are used [10], In the empirical formula Me is an exchangeable cation of the valence n (zeolites are cation exchangers). Molecular sieves have a very regular and orderly crystal structure, which is characterized by a three-dimensional system of cavities with a diameter of 11 A. These cavities are interconnected by pores with a constant diameter. The value of this diameter depends on the type of the exchangeable cation Me. It is 5 A, if in the above formula Me stands for 75% Na+ and 25% Ca2+. 

A molecule is a three-dimensional array of atoms. In fact, many of a molecule s properties, such as its odor and chemical reactivity, depend on its three-dimensional shape. Although molecular and structural formulas describe the composition of a molecule, they do not represent the molecule s shape. To provide information about shapes, chemists frequently use ball-and-stick models or space-filling models.

The Lewis dot formula predicts 4 regions of high electron density around the central N atom, a tetrahedral electronic geometry and a pyramidal molecular geometry. The N atom has sp3 hybridization (Sections 8-8 and 28-14). The three-dimensional structure is shown below. 

The Lewis dot formulas for the two resonance structures (one is shown) predicts 3 regions of high electron density for the N atom, and a trigonal planar electronic and molecular geometry about the N atom. The N atom has sp2 hybridization (Section 28-16). The three-dimensional structure is shown on the next page. 

For the depiction of structural formulas of hexofuranoses, a combination of a three-dimensional, Haworth-perspective tetrahydrofuran ring with a Fischer projection of the C-5-C-6 side-chain is commonly used, as exemplified by formulas 3 and 6. With the formal closure of the second ring and formation of a 2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane system, however, the depiction of the C-6-C-3 ring, as in formula 7, also assumes three-dimensional geometry, and this does not correspond to the Fischer projection rule.11 Consequently, structural representations of such bicyclic molecules should be as close as possible to the actual steric situation, as shown by structures 4 and 8. 

Zeolites are aluminosilicates characterized by a network of silicon and aluminum tetrahedra with the general formula Mx(A102)x(Si02)Y. The M are cations that are necessary to balance the formal negative charge on the aluminum atoms. The tetrahedra are linked to form repeating cavities or channels of well-defined size and shape. Materials with porous structures similar to zeolites but with other atoms in the framework (P, V, Ti, etc.), as a class are referred to as zeotypes. The structure committee of the International Zeolite Association (IZA http //www.iza-online.org/) has assigned, as of July 1st 2007, 176 framework codes (three capital letters) to these materials. These mnemonic codes do not depend on the composition (i.e. the distribution of different atom types) but only describe the three-dimensional labyrinth of framework atoms.

In order to apply this rule we had to transform the original three-dimensional structural formula in two stages (Fig. 5). In the first, the ligand model, the sequences of atoms constituting the ligands of an element of stereoisomerism...
