  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. Molecular electronic transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_electronic...

    Auxochromes with free electron pairs (denoted as "n") have their own transitions, as do aromatic pi bond transitions. Sections of molecules which can undergo such detectable electron transitions can be referred to as chromophores , since such transitions absorb electromagnetic radiation (light), which may be hypothetically perceived as color ...

  5. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    [2] [3] [4] The ring-flip of substituted cyclohexanes constitutes a common form of conformers. [5] The study of the energetics of bond rotation is referred to as conformational analysis. [6] In some cases, conformational analysis can be used to predict and explain product selectivity, mechanisms, and rates of reactions. [7]

  6. NMR line broadening techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMR_line_broadening_techniques

    If the bond rotates slowly enough compared to the NMR time scale (e.g., amide bond), two different species can be detected by the NMR spectrometer. Considering that the time scale of NMR spectroscopy is about a few seconds, this technique can be used to examine the kinetics and/or thermodynamics of chemical exchange reactions on the order of ...

  7. 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.

  9. Pi-stacking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-stacking

    What is more commonly observed (see figure to the right) is either a staggered stacking (parallel displaced) or pi-teeing (perpendicular T-shaped) interaction both of which are electrostatic attractive [2] [3] For example, the most commonly observed interactions between aromatic rings of amino acid residues in proteins is a staggered stacked ...
