The preceding orbital phase predictions of some topological units (like 1, 4-6) can be easily extended to more complex cychc diradicals [29], as shown in Fig. 12. On the basis of TMM sub-structure (1), diradicals 8-11 are predicted to be phase continuous in their triplet states. Such a triplet preference in their ground states is in agreement with calculation results and available experiments, as listed in Table... 

Several compilations of unwanted chemical (sub) structures have been published and the chemical filters typically include [22, 25, 29-32] ...

Systems involving more mass points are capable of more complex vibrations, since the vibrational modes may involve several to many atoms and all three dimensions are available for vibrational movements. Vibrations where primarily the distances along the bond axis between the involved atoms change during the vibration are called valence vibrations. Vibrations causing a deformation of a bond angle are referred to as deformation vibrations. Deformation movements can also rock , wag or twist a molecular (sub-) structure (Figure 1). 

The term synthon has been used in the manner originally intended by Corey (E. J. Corey, Pure Appl. Chem., General methods for the construction of complex molecules , 1967,14,19-37), and refers to a sub-structural unit. 

The most difficult problem we face in deciding to use a basis of hybrids which reflects the molecular symmetry is how do we choose such a basis in view of the enormous numerical difficulties involved in optimising the non-linear parameters in molecular calculations The real question is are there any rules for this choice, can the optimisation be done (at least approximately) once and for all The chemical evidence is for us — it is the most basic concept of the theory of valence that particular electronic sub-structures tend to be largely environment-independent. How can we select our basis to reflect this chemical fact ... 

The molecules CH20 and BH3CO show a wider variety of electronic sub-structures than the simple hydrids discussed above in particular CH20 contains a (polar) ir-bond and sp2 hybrids and BH3CO has 7r bonds, sp hybrids and a dative bond. It is of some interest therefore to see how the GHOs behave in these situations. Table 2 contains the relevant orbital exponents. The pattern of orbital contraction for GHOs involved in a X—H bonds is repeated and reinforced by the C—0 a bond orbitals. 

AGC has developed the low ohmic resistance membrane (F-8934) for high current density operation up to values of approximately 6 kA m-2. The new arrangement of the sub-structure of the membrane has contributed to wider distribution of the current passing through the membrane. This configuration decreases the actual current density localised over the membrane. Thus, the F-8934 shows 25% lower ohmic resistance than that for the F-893, as is shown in Fig. 19.10, even though the former comprises almost the same materials as the F-893. 

AGC has modified the carboxylic polymer and prepared one experimental membrane. This membrane is similar to F-8934 in the arrangement of the sub-structure, and it is almost the same as the F-8934 in both mechanical strength and ohmic resistance. Figure 19.13 illustrates the current efficiency trend of this experimental membrane in a laboratory test run at 8 kA irf2, compared with the F-8934 tested under the same conditions. The absolute value of the membrane s current efficiency is approximately 97.5%. No decline in current efficiency has been observed. AGC is now evaluating the stability and is optimising the carboxylic polymer feature and fabrication process for commercial production of this type of membrane.

Bohlmann and co-workers furthermore described the sole natural products with a 1,2,3-butatriene sub-structure (Scheme 18.33) [99]. These compounds 103-106 (which were isolated between 1965 and 1971 from the roots of camomile and other plants) are highly unstable, which made their structural assignment difficult. 

A comparative calculation for the sub-structure of the stalls housing a population of 25,000 laying hens in 3- and 4-tier batteries has been made for different drying systems. The calculation also takes account of the equipment for drying and removing the manure.

A much more common and probably more successful approach to the prediction of shifts are those derived from databases. Here, a database manager searches a database of structures for those containing sub-structures within the postulated structure. The key elements necessary for this approach are ... 

Where sub-structure matches do not exist, a reasonable interpolation procedure. 

Advanced Chemistry Development Inc. has built a sizeable proton chemical shift database derived from published spectra (most commonly in CDCI3 solution). Their H NMR predictor programme accesses this database and allows the prediction of chemical shifts. Whilst this software takes account of geometry in calculating scalar couplings, in predicting chemical shifts it essentially treats the structure as planar. It would therefore seem doomed to failure. However, if closely related compounds, run at infinite dilution and in the same solvent, are present in the database, the conformation is implied and the results can be quite accurate. Of course, the results will not be reliable if sub-structures are not well represented within the database and the wide dispersion of errors (dependent on whether a compound is represented or not) can cause serious problems in structure confirmation (later). ACD are currently revising their strict adherence to HOSE codes for sub-structure identification and this will hopefully remove infrequent odd sub-structure selections made currently. 

The confirmation of structure is essentially the same as that described in the previous section, but because of the systematic way in which the well contents are derived, other less demanding analysis tools may be appropriate. One approach is to utilize the spectra of the individual sub-structures. In Bruker s AutoDROP (Automated Definition and Recognition Of spectral Patterns, contained within the AMIX suite of software ) these can derive from spectra (most commonly HSQC two-dimensional spectra) of the reactants or from a basis set of product spectra containing sufficient combinations. The process by which the spectra of the sub-structures are... 

It is clear that the multiplicities derived from DEPT90 and DEPT135 spectra play a key part in sub-structure filtering, particularly where they allow general constraints to become local constraints (i.e., assigned to a particular carbon). 

Dubois et al. developed the Description, Acquisition, Retrieval, Computer-aided design-Elucidation by Progressive Intersection of Ordered Structures (DARC-EPIOS) system for structural elucidation.Their approach was based on C spectra. These were predicted using an additive method, but based on their DARC descriptor of environment, as opposed to the more common HOSE code. The EPIOS system was designed to take account of the diagnostic (or not) nature of the C spectrum with respect to environment, i.e., depending on the specific sub-structures.
