Download or read book Organic Reactions and Orbital Symmetry written by T. L. Gilchrist and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1979-09-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1979 as the second edition of a 1972 original, this textbook provides a systematic account of an important area of organic chemistry - that of cycloadditions and molecular rearrangements. The necessary theoretical background for understanding these reactions is presented in non-mathematical form and various alternative approaches to the theory are compared. The core of the book is a descriptive account of various types of cycloaddition and rearrangement reactions. The synthetic importance of these reactions is emphasised and, by providing the mechanistic background, the book demonstrates to the reader the relationship between the different types of reactions. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in organic chemistry.
Download or read book Orbital Symmetry and Reaction Mechanism written by E.Amitai Halevi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criteria of orbital symmetry conservation had a profound influence on mechanistic thinking in organic chemistry and are still commonly applied today. The author presents a coherent set of operational rules for the analysis of scope and reliability. It is written from the viewpoint of Orbital Correspondence Analysis in Maximum Symmetry (OCAMS). Its advantage lies in its provision of a coherent overview of the relation between symmetry and mechanism. For reasons of consistency, the book remains within the framework of molecular orbital theory.
Download or read book Orbital Symmetry written by Roland E. Lehr and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orbital Symmetry: A Problem-Solving Approach was born of the necessity to present to students Woodward and Hoffmann's approach to pericyclic reactions. Hence the tone is introductory, and the book is addressed primarily to an audience of advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The text seeks to familiarize the readers with several of the more often encountered methods of analyzing pericyclic reactions, and these methods should enable the analysis of virtually all of them. Problem solving is the foundation of the approach. Both the introductory and theory sections include problems to prepare the reader for the more extensive chapters of problems that follow. All problems (except those in Chapter VII) are answered in the text and are fully referenced where appropriate. Many of the problems require the use of molecular models if they are to be appreciated. Prentice-Hall's ""Framework Molecular Models"" and Benjamin's ""Maruzen Models"" are best suited for the construction of the highly strained molecules often encountered in the problems, and their use is recommended.
Download or read book The Conservation of Orbital Symmetry written by R. B. Woodward and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conservation of Orbital Symmetry examines the principle of conservation of orbital symmetry and its use. The central content of the principle was that reactions occur readily when there is congruence between orbital symmetry characteristics of reactants and products, and only with difficulty when that congruence does not obtain—or to put it more succinctly, orbital symmetry is conserved in concerted reaction. This principle is expected to endure, whatever the language in which it may be couched, or whatever greater precision may be developed in its application and extension. The book opens with a review of the elementary aspects of the molecular orbital theory of bonding. This is followed by separate chapters on correlation diagrams, the conservation of orbital symmetry, theory of electrocyclic reactions, theory of cycloadditions and cycloreversions, and theory of sigmatropic reactions. Subsequent chapters deal with group transfers and eliminations; secondary conformational effects in concerted cycloaddition reactions; and generalized selection rules for pericyclic reactions.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Molecular Symmetry written by P.R. Bunker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2005 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award Molecular symmetry is an easily applied tool for understanding and predicting many of the properties of molecules. Traditionally, students are taught this subject using point groups derived from the equilibrium geometry of the molecule. Fundamentals of Molecular Symmetry shows how to set up symmetry groups for molecules using the more general idea of energy invariance. It is no more difficult than using molecular geometry and one obtains molecular symmetry groups. The book provides an introductory description of molecular spectroscopy and quantum mechanics as the foundation for understanding how molecular symmetry is defined and used. The approach taken gives a balanced account of using both point groups and molecular symmetry groups. Usually the point group is only useful for isolated, nonrotating molecules, executing small amplitude vibrations, with no tunneling, in isolated electronic states. However, for the chemical physicist or physical chemist who wishes to go beyond these limitations, the molecular symmetry group is almost always required.
Download or read book symmetry In Coordination Chemistry written by John P. Jr. Fackler and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symmetry in Coordination Chemistry provides a comprehensive discussion of molecular symmetry. It attempts to bridge the gap between the elementary ideas of bonding and structure learned by freshmen, and those more sophisticated concepts used by the practicing chemist. The book emphasizes the use of symmetry in describing the bonding and structure of transition metal coordination compounds. The book begins with a review of basic concepts such as molecular symmetry, coordination numbers, symmetry classification, and point group symmetry. This is followed by separate chapters on the electronic, atomic, and magnetic properties of d-block transition elements; the representation of orbital symmetries in a manner consistent with the point group of a molecule. Also included are discussions of vibrational symmetry; crystal field theory, ligand field theory, and molecular orbital theory; and the chemistry of a select few d-block transition elements and their compounds. This book is meant to supplement the traditional course work of junior-senior inorganic students. It is for them that the problems and examples have been chosen.

Download or read book Symmetry And Perturbation Theory Spt 98 written by Antonio Degasperis and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999-12-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second workshop on “Symmetry and Perturbation Theory” served as a forum for discussing the relations between symmetry and perturbation theory, and this put in contact rather different communities. The extension of the rigorous results of perturbation theory established for ODE's to the case of nonlinear evolution PDE's was also discussed: here a number of results are known, particularly in connection with (perturbation of) integrable systems, but there is no general frame as solidly established as in the finite-dimensional case. In aiming at such an infinite-dimensional extension, for which standard analytical tools essential in the ODE case are not available, it is natural to look primarily at geometrical and topological methods, and first of all at those based on exploiting the symmetry properties of the systems under study (both the unperturbed and the perturbed ones); moreover, symmetry considerations are in several ways basic to our understanding of integrability, i.e. finally of the unperturbed systems on whose understanding the whole of perturbation theory has unavoidably to rely.This volume contains tutorial, regular and contributed papers. The tutorial papers give students and newcomers to the field a rapid introduction to some active themes of research and recent results in symmetry and perturbation theory.
