Structure symbols

Protonated alkanes (C H2 , 3 ) also play a significant role in alkane reactions. Saturated hydrocarbons can be protonated to alkonium ions, of which the methonium ion CH5+, 422 [Eq. (3.119)] is the parent, and formation of these pentacoordinate carbocations involves two-electron three-center (2e—ic) bonds. The dotted lines in the structure symbolize the bonding orbitals of the three-center bonds [Eq. (3.119)] their point of junction does not represent an additional atom.

Different substitution patterns will be labeled with additional lowercase letters, e.g., la, lb, lc. To save space, structures available in several substitution patterns will often be drawn with no substituents. Instead, the substituents will be listed after corresponding structure symbols. For instance, la 5,10,15,20-Ph" corresponds to 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (la). Letter designations will be omitted when (i) there is just one substitution pattern and it is shown explicitly in the scheme, (ii) no reference to any specific substitution is made. 

The representatives of the known structure types are arranged according to a structure symbol which indicates the Bravais lattice and the number of metal and non-metal atoms within the unit cell. The Bravais lattice is designated by a capital letter following the suggestion of the ASTM Committee (435) ... 

Several kinds of formulas are used by organic chemists to represent organic compounds. Some of these formulas involve a shorthand notation that requires some explanation. Structural formulas actually show which atoms are bonded to which. There are two types of structural formulas, complete Lewis structures and condensed structural formulas. In addition, there are several ways of drawing condensed structural formulas. As we have seen, a Lewis structure symbolizes a bonding pair of electrons as a pair of dots or as a dash (—). Lone pairs of electrons are shown as pairs of dots. 

The resonance between the covalent and ionic bond structures of a molecule produces, by the superposition of the electron clouds of the ionic bond and of the covalent bond, a transitional electron cloud. This is discussed below in terms of wave mechanics. The electron cloud of the bond, however, will of course be continuous and the splitting into component parts, which this method of treatment has incurred, is the direct result of the attempt to describe a complex chemical bond in terms of two simpler types of bonds which may be represented by classical structural symbols.

Pearson s classification is insensitive to both chemical compositions and stoichiometries of metallic alloys. It is quite useful because all known intermetallic crystal structures are grouped according to their structural symbols, which are quite simple. Thus, once the symmetry and the content of the unit cell of a new alloy phase have been established, it only makes sense to search for potentially isostructural compounds among those that have identical Pearson s symbols. 

There was no way out of this dilemma, save trivial names, until knowledge of structural formulas was sufficiently advanced for chemists to use them as the basis of nomenclature. Thus, without structural symbolization, systematic organic nomenclature could not arise. The radical theory was the first step in the direction of systematization, but even in 1852 the detection of a common factor as shown by Fownes (see Table III) (7) was unable to do much toward solving the problem.

Table M4 Some matrices used as representation of the molecular structure symbol, current name, number of rows and columns (A, number of vertices 6, number of edges , cyclicity D, topological diameter and K, maximum walk length), and type (S, symmetric matrix U, unsymmetrical matrix B, symmetric or unsymmetrical matrix and D, diagonal matrix).

Having seen that the ordinary line notation of unbranched structures may be more or less equated with the structure itself we next turn to the case of branched structures. Just as an unbranched structure corresponds to a string of symbols, a branched structure has as its counterpart a tree. The nodes of the tree are part structure symbols and the edges are bonds. Thus 2,2,4-trimethylhexane may be represented by a number of trees, one of which is...

When p exceeds a certain threshold value pc, a connected cluster of infinite size appears. This critical value pc of the fraction depends on the space dimensions d and lattice structure (symbolically described as A), and hence it is indicated by Pc A,s). In two-dimensional space (d = 2), there are square lattices (A = S), triangular lattices (A = T), honeycomb lattices (A = H), etc. In three-dimensional space (d = 3), there are simple cubic lattices (A = sc), face-centered cubic lattices (A = fee), body-centered cubic lattices (A = bcc), and hexagonal close packed lattices (A=hcp) (Table 8.1).

If we were to allow an infinity of symbols, then there would be symbols differing to an arbitrary small extent.. .. The new observed squares must be immediately recognizable by the computer.. .. Now if these squares are marked only by single symbols there can be only a finite number of them, and we should not upset our theory by adjoining these marked squares to the observed squares. If, on the other hand,. .. [each of them is] marked by a sequence of symbols [i.e. by a structured symbol], we cannot regard the process of recognition as a simple process. This is a fundamental point and should be illustrated. [He then considers symbols formed by numeric sequences.] [3, my emphasis]...
