  2. Michelson–Morley experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson–Morley_experiment

    The Experiments on the relative motion of the earth and ether have been completed and the result decidedly negative. The expected deviation of the interference fringes from the zero should have been 0.40 of a fringe – the maximum displacement was 0.02 and the average much less than 0.01 – and then not in the right place.

  3. Solvated electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvated_electron

    A solvated electron is a free electron in a solution, in which it behaves like an anion. [1] An electron's being solvated in a solution means it is bound by the solution. [2] The notation for a solvated electron in formulas of chemical reactions is "e −".

  4. Template reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_reaction

    The term is mainly used in coordination chemistry. The template effects emphasizes the pre-organization provided by the coordination sphere, although the coordination modifies the electronic properties (acidity, electrophilicity, etc.) of ligands. [1] An early example is the dialkylation of a nickel dithiolate: [2]

    Experiments were conducted by altering the configuration of the O-6 and examining the rate of hydrolysis of these compounds. The gauche-gauche orientation seen in the second example has a higher rate of hydrolysis due to its longer bond length.

  6. Demethylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demethylation

    Demethylation often refers to cleavage of ethers, especially aryl ethers. [12]Historically, aryl methyl ethers, including natural products such as codeine (O-methylmorphine), have been demethylated by heating the substance in molten pyridine hydrochloride (melting point 144 °C (291 °F)) at 180 to 220 °C (356 to 428 °F), sometimes with excess hydrogen chloride, in a process known as the ...

  7. Alpha effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_effect

    In 1962, Edwards and Pearson (the latter of HSAB theory) introduced the phrase alpha effect for this anomaly. He offered the suggestion that the effect was caused by a transition state (TS) stabilization effect: on entering the TS the free electron pair on the nucleophile moves away from the nucleus, causing a partial positive charge which can be stabilized by an adjacent lone pair as for ...

    According to ancient and medieval science, aether (/ ˈ iː θ ər /, alternative spellings include æther, aither, and ether), also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. [1]
