It has been suggested that isomers of this kind result from different kind of arrangement of the 12-MoOa octahedra about the X04 group68-1. However, this geo-

Although experimental studies of DNA and RNA structure have revealed the significant structural diversity of oligonucleotides, there are limitations to these approaches. X-ray crystallographic structures are limited to relatively small DNA duplexes, and the crystal lattice can impact the three-dimensional conformation [4]. NMR-based structural studies allow for the determination of structures in solution however, the limited amount of nuclear overhauser effect (NOE) data between nonadjacent stacked basepairs makes the determination of the overall structure of DNA difficult [5]. In addition, nanotechnology-based experiments, such as the use of optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy [6], have revealed that the forces required to distort DNA are relatively small, consistent with the structural heterogeneity observed in both DNA and RNA.

MP2/6-31-l-G calculations in the gas phase indicate that 2//-1,2,3-triazole is about -5 kcal/mol more stable than the H isomer [92JOC3698]. The energy differences between 1-hydroxy-l,2,3-triazole 56a and its 2H (56b) and 3// (56c) tautomers were investigated up to the MP4(SDTQ)/6-31 - -G level. The 1 -hydroxy form 56a is the preferred tautomer in the gas phase, but owing to the strong polarity of the V-oxide 3// tautomer 56c, this is the most stable structure in solution (Scheme 37) [92JOC3698]. 

There is another aspect of the structure of glucose and fructose. They, like other simple sugars, can exist as a straight chain but this form is in equilibrium with a cyclic structure. In solutions the latter form prevails. Reaction (2) shows both forms of glucose. 

The higher elastic modulus (a measure of structure in solution) of rhamsan suggests that it should be superior to xanthan as a stabiliser. Rhamsan also has improved salt compatibility and is used in fertiliser suspension (high polyphosphates) and explosives (high ammonium nitrate). 

There is evidently a flat potential energy surface for these clusters as different skeletal isomers can actually be isolated in the solid state for Au9[P(C6H40Me)3]8(N03)3 a brown form has a D4d crown structure and a green form has a D2h structure. In solution, however, they share a common structure with identical31P NMR spectra either the solution cluster has a regular arrangement of phosphines, or it is fluxional [186].

The electronic spectra of a range of dithio- and perthiocarboxylato-nickel(II) complexes and their pyridine adducts show the presence of a variety of structures in solution, but complete interpretation of the spectra was prevented by lack of a complete MO treatment of these complexes (378). 

All borophosphonates obtained so far are air and thermally stable (m.p. >210 °C). They are soluble in all common organic solvents if they carry bulky groups either on phosphorus or on boron. Borophosphonates that contain only methyl or phenyl groups show poor solubility [140]. H-, B-, and P-NMR spectra are in agreement with the highly symmetric silasesquioxane-type structure in solution [140, 141]. 

The cavities in dendrimers are not permanent, but can be redistrubuted as the branches, which can possess considerable degrees of flexibility, move about. The inclusion of guest molecules within a dendrimer may occur as a result of movements in the branches, which allow temporary inclusion of the guest molecule within the dendrimer structure. In solution, it is assumed that molecules of solvent are able to move with ease through the branches of dendrimers, hopping between such temporary cavities with little or no hindrance. When the solvent is removed, the dendrimer may collapse to a distinctly reduced volume. 

A recent development in understanding the reactivity of bases has focused on their structures in solution and in the crystalline state. Due to the importance of dialkyl amide bases, there is a significant body of work, led by Williard and Collum , that has attempted to understand the structures of these reactive molecules. It is clear that they are aggregates. Lithium diisopropylamide (LiN/-Pr2) was isolated from a THF solution and X-ray crystallography revealed a dimeric structure (13 R = i-Pr, S = THF) in the...

The interest in hyperbranched polymers arises from the fact that they combine some features of dendrimers, for example, an increasing number of end groups and a compact structure in solution, with the ease of preparation of hn-ear polymers by means of a one-pot reaction. However, the polydispersities are usually high and their structures are less regular than those of dendrimers. Another important advantage is the extension of the concept of hyperbranched polymers towards vinyl monomers and chain growth processes, which opens unexpected possibilities. 

T], rj ). A molecular weight determination for the complex supports a monomeric structure in solution. Reaction of ZnMe2 with (H0)2Si(0 Bu)2 leads to the formation of polymeric species, [Zn0Si(0 Bu)20] , that are soluble in organic solvents [107]. For comparison, the zinc sUoxane polymer [Zn0SiPh20] reported by Hornbraker and Conrad is an insoluble material contaminated with ZnO [108].
