  2. Pi bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_bond

    A typical triple bond, for example in acetylene (HC≡CH), consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds in two mutually perpendicular planes containing the bond axis. Two pi bonds are the maximum that can exist between a given pair of atoms. Quadruple bonds are extremely rare and can be formed only between transition metal atoms, and consist of ...

  3. Electrocyclic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocyclic_reaction

    Reactions can be either ring-opening or ring-closing (electrocyclization). Depending on the type of reaction (photochemical or thermal) and the number of pi electrons, the reaction can happen through either a conrotatory or disrotatory mechanism. The type of rotation determines whether the cis or trans isomer of the product will be formed.

  4. Clock angle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_angle_problem

    The time is usually based on a 12-hour clock. A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute. The minute hand rotates through 360° in 60 minutes or 6° per minute. [1]

  5. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    Allylic strain – energetics related to rotation about the single bond between an sp 2 carbon and an sp 3 carbon. Atropisomerism – due to restricted rotation about a bond. Folding, including the secondary and tertiary structure of biopolymers (nucleic acids and proteins). [11] Akamptisomerism – due to restricted inversion of a bond angle.

  6. Pi-interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-interaction

    In chemistry, π-effects or π-interactions are a type of non-covalent interaction that involves π systems.Just like in an electrostatic interaction where a region of negative charge interacts with a positive charge, the electron-rich π system can interact with a metal (cationic or neutral), an anion, another molecule and even another π system. [1]

  7. Di-π-methane rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di-π-methane_rearrangement

    One example was the photolysis of Mariano's compound, 3,3‑dimethyl-1,1,5,5‑tetraphenyl-1,4‑pentadiene. In this symmetric diene, the active π bonds are conjugated to arenes, which does not inhibit the reaction. [4] [5] [6] Pratt's diene has two possibilities for rearrangement: a and b.

  8. Plate trick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_trick

    In mathematics and physics, the plate trick, also known as Dirac's string trick (after Paul Dirac, who introduced and popularized it), [1] [2] the belt trick, or the Balinese cup trick (it appears in the Balinese candle dance), is any of several demonstrations of the idea that rotating an object with strings attached to it by 360 degrees does not return the system to its original state, while ...

  9. Pi backbonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_backbonding

    [5] [6] This electron transfer strengthens the metal–ligand bond and weakens the C–C bonds within the ligand. [7] In the case of metal-alkenes and alkynes, the strengthening of the M–C 2 R 4 and M–C 2 R 2 bond is reflected in bending of the C–C–R angles which assume greater sp 3 and sp 2 character, respectively.
