  2. Hyperconjugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperconjugation

    Hyperconjugation can be used to rationalize a variety of chemical phenomena, including the anomeric effect, the gauche effect, the rotational barrier of ethane, the beta-silicon effect, the vibrational frequency of exocyclic carbonyl groups, and the relative stability of substituted carbocations and substituted carbon centred radicals, and the thermodynamic Zaitsev's rule for alkene stability.

  3. Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belousov–Zhabotinsky...

    A stirred BZ reaction mixture showing changes in color over time. The discovery of the phenomenon is credited to Boris Belousov.In 1951, while trying to find the non-organic analog to the Krebs cycle, he noted that in a mix of potassium bromate, cerium(IV) sulfate, malonic acid, and citric acid in dilute sulfuric acid, the ratio of concentration of the cerium(IV) and cerium(III) ions ...

  4. Negative hyperconjugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hyperconjugation

    This phenomenon, a type of resonance, can stabilize the molecule or transition state. [2] It also causes an elongation of the σ-bond by adding electron density to its antibonding orbital. [1] Negative hyperconjugation is seldom observed, though it can be most commonly observed when the σ *-orbital is located on certain C–F or C–O bonds ...

  5. Gauche effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauche_effect

    Hyperconjugation model for explaining the gauche effect in 1,2-difluoroethane. Key in the bent bond explanation of the gauche effect in difluoroethane is the increased p orbital character of both C−F bonds due to the large electronegativity of fluorine. As a result, electron density builds up above and below to the left and right of the ...

  6. Negative hyperconjugation in silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hyperconjugation...

    Negative hyperconjugation is a theorized phenomenon in organosilicon compounds, in which hyperconjugation stabilizes or destabilizes certain accumulations of positive charge. The phenomenon explains corresponding peculiarities in the stereochemistry and rate of hydrolysis .

  7. Carbon–fluorine bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–fluorine_bond

    Hyperconjugation model for explaining the gauche effect in 1,2-difluoroethane There are two main explanations for the gauche effect: hyperconjugation and bent bonds . In the hyperconjugation model, the donation of electron density from the carbon–hydrogen σ bonding orbital to the carbon–fluorine σ * antibonding orbital is considered the ...

  8. Conjugated system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_system

    Cinnamaldehyde is a naturally-occurring compound that has a conjugated system penta-1,3-diene is a molecule with a conjugated system Diazomethane conjugated pi-system. In theoretical chemistry, a conjugated system is a system of connected p-orbitals with delocalized electrons in a molecule, which in general lowers the overall energy of the molecule and increases stability.

  9. Kinetic isotope effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_isotope_effect

    A primary kinetic isotope effect (PKIE) may be found when a bond to the isotopically labeled atom is being formed or broken. [3] [4]: 427 Depending on the way a KIE is probed (parallel measurement of rates vs. intermolecular competition vs. intramolecular competition), the observation of a PKIE is indicative of breaking/forming a bond to the isotope at the rate-limiting step, or subsequent ...
