Types of Resonators

Other resonances, of order n m, are possible in various systems. Another type of resonance is a multimode resonance. For example, in C2H2 the coupling... 

Amides and ureas are believed to be stabilized by the following type of resonance. 

Consider 1,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene. Which, if either, would benefit from the type of resonance described above Draw appropriate resonance contributors for this isomer. Indicate the likely importance of different zwitterionic structures which you might draw. Compare the energies of 1,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene. Which one is more stable ... 

The following type of resonance requires 7C-type orbital overlap between the central carbons. This overlap can only be achieved if all four carbons and tihetr substituents lie in die same plane. 

By including electron correlation in the wave function the UHF method introduces more biradical character into the wave function than RHF. The spin contamination part is also purely biradical in nature, i.e. a UHF treatment in general will overestimate the biradical character. Most singlet states are well described by a closed-shell wave function near the equilibrium geometry, and in those cases it is not possible to generate a UHF solution which has a lower energy than the RHF. There are systems, however, for which this does not hold. An example is the ozone molecule, where two types of resonance structure can be drawn. Figure 4.8. 

Static When the natural frequency of a stationary, or non-dynamic, structure is energized, it will resonate. This type of resonance is classified as static resonance and is considered to be a non-dynamic phenomenon. Nondynamic structures in a machine-train include casings. 

When two or more benzene rings are fused together to give naphthalene, anthracene, etc., X-ray diffraction studies show that some localization of double bonds occurs (22-24) this affects the chemical reactivities of different regions in the molecule. The experimentally measured bond lengths in PAHs are those that would be expected from a consideration of the various types of resonance hybrids (25) that are possible. 

The unique field penetration into the liquid of a nonevanescent resonant mode like Tlij(7)0 is very promising for the sensing applications. To understand the origin of this behavior and further optimize the devices, a ray optical picture71 is presented. This type of resonant modes exist as if rays are bounced at the liquid/silica interface and confined in the liquid region as plotted in Fig. 8.32. From the viewpoint of ray optics, light is partially reflected (termed ray 1) and partially transmitted when it is... 

The resonance effects of these groups are greatly enhanced when they are exerting an influence on highly electron-demanding processes. This topic will be discussed later. Here we shall be concerned with the resonance effects as shown under milder conditions and measured either by o()R or by a (BA) (Section II.B). For brevity we shall refer to the latter simply as or. The distinction between the two types of resonance parameter is important with —I groups, cf the nitro group (Sections in.C and V.D). 

Ion trapping devices are sensitive to overload because of the detrimental effects of coulombic repulsion on ion trajectories. The maximum number of ions that can be stored in a QTT is about 10 -10, but it reduces to about 10 -10 if unit mass resolution in an RF scan is desired. Axial modulation, a sub-type of resonant ejection, allows to increase the number of ions stored in the QIT by one order of magnitude while maintaining unit mass resolution. [160,161] During the RF scan, the modulation voltage with a fixed amplitude and frequency is applied between the end caps. Its frequency is chosen slightly below V2 of the fundamental RF frequency, because for Pz < 1, e.g., = 0.98, we have z = (0 + 0.98/2) = 0.49 x... 

This is due to a formal similarity between the guanidinium and urea types of resonance. The second p/iTa-value of 2-aminopyrimidine is reported as —4-1 (Bean et al., 1967). 

Albert, 1968, pp. 62-3). Protonation on the nitrogen would have to destroy this high stabilization and it does not occur. Oxygen is protonated instead. 4-Pyridone is stabilized by a similar type of resonance [134] and the site of protonation is also oxygen. Evidence... 

Pre-eminent amongst examples is the case of amides, which do not show the typical basicity of amines. Acetamide, for example, has pATa — 1.4, compared with a 10.7 in the case of ethylamine. This reluctance to protonate on nitrogen is caused by delocalization in the neutral amide, in which the nitrogen lone pair is able to overlap into the n system. This type of resonance stabilization would not be possible with nitrogen protonated, since the lone pair is already involved in the protonation process. Indeed, if amides do act as bases, then protonation occurs on oxygen, not on nitrogen. Resonance stabilization is still possible in the D-protonated amide, whereas it is not possible in the A-protonated amide. Note that resonance stabilization makes the D-protonated amide somewhat less acidic than the hydronium ion (pATa — 1.7) the amide oxygen is more basic than water. 

Although protonation does not occur on nitrogen in an amide, protonation can occur on the carbonyl oxygen, because this still allows the same type of resonance stabilization. Accordingly, acid hydrolysis of amides proceeds through nucleophilic attack of water onto the protonated carbonyl, giving a tetrahedral protonated intermediate. 

The deuterium NMR spectra of toluene-d0 in aPS solutions consists of two resonances which are resolved and assigned to the methyl and aromatic groups. In these solutions spin-spin or dipolar couplings are small and consequently are not observed. As the temperature is lowered, the aromatic resonance systematically broadens while the methyl resonance remains relatively constant in width. The linewidths of the aromatic resonances are the same as those which would be predicted from the T2 measurements reported below. The separated resonances make it possible to determine the relaxation times of each type of resonance. 

Thiophene is present in the benzene fraction from the distillation of coal tar. As with pyrrole and furan, the same type of resonance forms contribute to its overall molecular constitution, and the compound is aromatic in character. There is a difference between thiophene and furan, however, because sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen. Thus, the chemistry of thiophene tends to be closer to that of pyrrole than to that of furan. For example, thiophene does not enter easily into [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions and quite severe conditions, high pressure (15 bar) and a temperature of 100 C, are necessary in order to force a cycloaddition between it and maleic anhydride. 

This scheme has yet to be fully tested in a high-field ESR experiment but initial experimental tests and theoretical simulations by the Pisa group appear very promising. We have also tested this scheme in our own laboratory with very encouraging results and expect this type of resonator to become a common feature in high field systems.
