, and Sc 3+ and the anions Cl −, S 2−, and P 3− are all isoelectronic with the Ar atom. CO, CN −, N 2, and NO + are isoelectronic because each has two atoms triple bonded together, and due to the charge have analogous electronic configurations (N − is identical in electronic configuration to O so CO is identical electronically to CN −).
These groups are characterized by i) an n-fold proper rotation axis C n; ii) n 2-fold proper rotation axes C 2 normal to C n; iii) a mirror plane σ h normal to C n and containing the C 2 s. The D 1h group is the same as the C 2v group in the pyramidal groups section. The D 8h table reflects the 2007 discovery of errors in older references. [4]
Zintl phases are intermetallic compounds that have a pronounced ionic bonding character. They are made up of a polyanionic substructure and group 1 or 2 counter ions, and their structure can be understood by a formal electron transfer from the electropositive element to the more electronegative element in their composition.
The f-block groups are ignored in this numbering. [22] Groups can also be named by their first element, e.g. the "scandium group" for group 3. [22] Previously, groups were known by Roman numerals. In the United States, the Roman numerals were followed by either an "A" if the group was in the s-or p-block, or a "B" if the group was in the d-block.
The reactivity of a functional group can be modified by other functional groups nearby. Functional group interconversion can be used in retrosynthetic analysis to plan organic synthesis. A functional group is a group of atoms in a molecule with distinctive chemical properties, regardless of the other atoms in the molecule.
Isoelectric focusing is the first step in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, in which proteins are first separated by their pI value and then further separated by molecular weight through SDS-PAGE. Isoelectric focusing, on the other hand, is the only step in preparative native PAGE at constant pH. [5]
The isolobal analogy can also be used with isoelectronic fragments having the same coordination number, which allows charged species to be considered. For example, Re(CO) 5 is isolobal with CH 3 and therefore, [Ru(CO) 5] + and [Mo(CO) 5] − are also isolobal with CH 3. Any 17-electron metal complex would be isolobal in this example.
The compounds Co(NO)(CO) 3 and Ni(CO) 4 illustrate the analogy between NO + and CO. In an electron-counting sense, two linear NO ligands are equivalent to three CO groups. This trend is illustrated by the isoelectronic pair Fe(CO) 2 (NO) 2 and [Ni(CO) 4]. [3] These complexes are isoelectronic and, incidentally, both obey the 18-electron rule.
