Resonance and Hybrid Structures

16.4K
According to the theory of resonance, if two or more Lewis structures with the same arrangement of atoms can be written for a molecule, ion, or radical, the actual distribution of electrons is an average of that shown by the various Lewis structures.
Resonance Structures and Resonance Hybrids
The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.

Fischer Projections

12.9K
Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines.

Hückel's Rule Diagram of π MOs: Frost Circle

4.2K
The Frost circle or the inscribed polygon method is a graphical method for determining the relative energies of π molecular orbitals (MOs) for planar, fully conjugated, and monocyclic compounds. This method was first described by A. A. Frost and Boris Musulin in 1953.
A Frost circle is constructed by drawing a polygon whose number of edges is equal to the number of carbons of the given cyclic system, with one of the vertices pointing down. Then, a circle is drawn enclosing the polygon so...

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

800
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Physics
  • Molecular Collisions
  • Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • Shape resonances in cold collisions are influenced by stereodynamics.
  • Single-channel quantization is often insufficient due to strong potential anisotropy and channel coupling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze low-lying shape resonances in cold collisions.
  • To investigate the role of multidimensional quantization in resonance assignment.
  • To develop a new model for understanding stereodynamics via shape resonances.

Main Methods:

  • Full-dimensional Hamiltonian diagonalization.
  • Stabilization method for resonance analysis.
  • Case study: para-H2 (v1=1, j1=2) + HF (v2=0, j2=0) collisions.

Main Results:

  • Four low-lying shape resonances were analyzed.
  • Some resonances were assigned to single partial waves.
  • Other resonances clearly involved multiple scattering channels.

Conclusions:

  • Shape resonances in cold collisions can be multidimensional.
  • A new model is proposed to interpret stereodynamics through shape resonances.
