Triple bond bond energy

Besides being dependent upon the atoms constituting the double or triple bond, the energy required to activate the bond is influenced by two more factors (1) the substituents on the atoms which form the multiple bond and (2) the presence of conjugated or cumulated multiple bonds. 

K has been identified as CFl200I-I from its chemistry the reaction mechanism is insertion [115], Collision-induced dissociation (in a SIFT apparatus, a triple-quadnipole apparatus, a guided-ion beam apparatus, an ICR or a beam-gas collision apparatus) may be used to detemiine ligand-bond energies, isomeric fomis of ions and gas-phase acidities. 

Plot the curve of the bond energy of H2 vs. intemuclear distance for the H2 molecule using the STO-3G, double zeta valence (DZV), and triple zeta valence (TZV) basis sets in the GAMESS implementation. 

Figure 4.2. Rotational-energy barriers as a function of substitution. Tbe small barrier ( 2kcal) in ethane (a) is lowered even further ( O.Skcal) if three bonds are tied back by replacing three hydrogen atoms of a methyl group by a triple-bonded carbon, as in methylacetylene (b). The barrier is raised 4.2 kcal) when methyl groups replace the smaller hydrogen atoms, as in neopentane (c). Dipole forces raise the barrier further ( 15 kcal) in methylsuccinic acid (d) (cf. Figure 4.3). Steric hindrance is responsible for the high barrier (> 15 kcal) in the diphenyl derivative (e). (After...

The molecular orbital description of the bonding in NO is similar to that in N2 or CO (p. 927) but with an extra electron in one of the tt antibonding orbitals. This effectively reduces the bond order from 3 to 2.5 and accounts for the fact that the interatomic N 0 distance (115 pm) is intermediate between that in the triple-bonded NO+ (106 pm) and values typical of double-bonded NO species ( 120 pm). It also interprets the very low ionization energy of the molecule (9.25 eV, compared with 15.6 eV for N2, 14.0 eV for CO, and 12.1 eV for O2). Similarly, the notable reluctance of NO to dimerize can be related both to the geometrical distribution of the unpaired electron over the entire molecule and to the fact that dimerization to 0=N—N=0 leaves the total bond order unchanged (2 x 2.5 = 5). When NO condenses to a liquid, partial dimerization occurs, the cis-form being more stable than the trans-. The pure liquid is colourless, not blue as sometimes stated blue samples owe their colour to traces of the intensely coloured N2O3.6O ) Crystalline nitric oxide is also colourless (not blue) when pure, ° and X-ray diffraction data are best interpreted in terms of weak association into... 

It is estimated that each year approximately 150 million tonnes of nitrogen are fixed biologically compared to 120 million tonnes fixed industrially by the Haber process (p. 421). In both cases N2 is converted to NH3, requiring the rupture of the N=N triple bond which has the highest dissociation energy (945.41 kJmol )... 

The first step in the addition of an electrophile such as HBr to an alkyne involves protonation and subsequent formation of an intermediate vinyl cation. Where does propyne protonate Compare energies of 1-methylvinyl and 2-methylvinyl cations. Which is more stable Why Measure CC bond distance in the more stable cation. Does the cation incorporate a full triple bond (as in propyne) or a double bond (as in propene). Examine atomic charges and electrostatic potential maps to locate the positive charge in the two cations. Is the more stable ion the one in which the charge is better delocalized Use the charges together with information about the ions geometry to draw Lewis structures (or a series of Lewis structures) for 1-methylvinyl and 2-methylvinyl cations.

CN is closely similar. The normal nitrogen atom, 2s22p2p2p S, can form three bonds, and more cannot be formed by an excited neutral atom (with five L electrons), so that there is no reason to expect excitation. But a normal carbon atom can form only a double bond, and an excited carbon atom, only 1.6 v. e. higher, can form a triple bond, which contributes about 3 v. e. more than a double bond to the bond energy. Hence we write... 

It is interesting to note that the unsaturation of a double bond amounts to 0.74 v. e., this being the energy liberated by a reaction leading to the formation of two carbon-carbon single bonds in place of a double bond. For a triple bond the unsaturation is 2.1 v. e.
