Ramachandran-type calculations are performed for conformations of bilin chromophores pres­ent in the biliproteins phycocyanin, phycoerythrin and phytochrome. The atomic coordinates are taken from x-ray data of crystalline model compounds, namely biliverdin for pyrrole rings B, C, D and substituted succinimides for the hydrogenated ring A including a thioether containing β-sub­stituent. Maxima and minima for steric hindrance are calculated for rotation of the thioether side chain, the rotation of pyrrole rings at single bonds (syn-anti-forms) and at double bonds (Z-E-isomers) of the methine bridges. Whereas quasi-planar structures are possible for all syn, Z-forms, only twisted structures are possible if anti, E-forms are considered. The relevance for the bilin con­formations of native biliproteins and of the Pr ⇌ Pfr phototransformation is discussed.

In this paper, (2E,6E)-2,6-Bis(2,3,4-tri-methoxy -benzylidene)cyclohexanone (omitted as tmbcho) (1) was obtained by the reaction of acetic acid, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone and 2,3,4-tri-methoxy-benzaldehyde. Three non-classic hydrogen bonds were observed in the compound. X-ray crystallography shows that the crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H•••π interactions and it contains plenty of conjugated double bonds. The title compound was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescent spectral studies.

Abstract 1. When chloroprene and isoprene polymerize, besides the frequency characterizing the conjugate double bond in the monomer, there appears a higher frequency corresponding to the isolated double bond in the polymer. In the polymerization process, the intensity of the frequency of the conjugate double bond decreases and the intensity of the frequency of the isolated double bond increases. Because of the increase in the number of single bonds in the polymer, the intensity of the frequency of the single bond 1005 in the polymer is considerably greater than in the monomer. 2. Even in the case of the samples with high polymer contents (greater than 50 per cent), the intensity of the frequency of the conjugate double bond is considerably greater than the intensity of the frequency of the isolated double bond. This is attributable to the fact that part of double bonds disappear during polymerization. 3. The Raman spectra of the chloroprene and isoprene polymers differ essentially from those of the monomers. To characterize the frequencies of vibration in the polymer molecule, it is essential to investigate its Raman spectrum in a medium free of the monomer. 4. The formation of highly polymeric molecules on polymerization does not result in an increase in the intensity of the continuous background in spectrograms.

Cs+(tolN5tol)- (1) is formed as a yellow crystalline precipitate after addition of a concentrated aqueous solution of CsCl to a concentrated solution of 1,5-Bis(p-tolyl)pentaazadiene(1,4) in ammonia. 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pccn with a = 3169(1), b = 434.3(2), c = 1109.4(7) pm, Z = 4. The structure contains (tolN5tol)- anions and Cs+ cations both occupying two-fold axes. The all-trans N5 zigzag chain is planar with localized double bonds N1 - N2 and N2′ - N1′ of 127.7 pm and shortened single bonds N2-N3 and N3-N2′ of 136.9 pm. The tolyl substituents are titled by 25.5° against the plane of the N atoms. Cs+ is surrounded in a square antiprismatic arrangement by eight N atoms of four N5 chains with distances Cs-N in the range of 314.6 to 366.2 pm.

We have evaluated the experimental evidence relevant to the structure and character of mesoionic compounds, accumulated for more than 100 years and including X-ray diffraction studies. We have also evaluated relevant theoretical studies. All these, including our own extensive work, lead us to conclude that mesoionic compounds are not aromatic. According to our recent definition “mesoionic compounds are planar five-membered heterocyclic betaines with at least one side chain whose α-atom is also in the ring plane and with dipole moments of the order of 5 D. Electrons are delocalized over two regions separated by what are essentially single bonds. One region, which includes the a-atom of the side chain is associated with the HOMO and negative π-charge whereas the other is associated with the LUMO and positive π-charge.” Key words: mesoionic compounds, betaines, aromaticity.

The Pauling bond order can be viewed as a measure of the π-electron content of the respective carbon-carbon bond. In benzenoid hydrocarbons its values lie between 0 (in the case of essential single bonds) and 1 (in the case of essential double bonds). If the benzenoid molecule does not possess essential single and double bonds, then the Pauling bond orders are greater than 0 and less than 1, but may assume values arbitrarily close to 0 and 1. The π-electron content of a ring is equal to the sum of the π-electron contents of the carbon-carbon bonds forming this ring. We show that in benzenoid hydrocarbons the π-electron content of any (six-membered) ring lies between 0 and 5.5. If the molecule does not possess essential single and double bonds, then the π-electron content of any ring is greater than 0 and less than 5.5, but may assume values arbitrarily close to 0 and 5.5.

The 2,5-bis(2-arylvinyl)-1,4-benzoquinones 1a-1e are formed from hydrolysis of their corresponding ketals 5 which are generated by anodic oxidation of the corresponding 1,4-dimethoxybenzene derivatives 4. The crystal structures of the quinone compounds 1a, 1d and 1e have been determined by X-ray analyses. The bond lengths of the quinone system are influenced by polar resonance structures. An α-type packing mode is observed for the three crystal structures of compounds 1. The vinylic double bonds have short intermolecular distances (1a: 4.417(5), 1d: 3.653(2), 1e: 4.224(5) Å). Only the crystals of 1d with the shortest contacts are photoreactive

Abstract Carbene transfer from aliphatic diazoalkanes upon coordinatively unsaturated metal centers is a general synthetic concept that provides straight-forward routes into organo-metallic hydrocarbon chemistry. A comparison focussing on several key reactions of general applicability demonstrates that mononuclear organometal substrates add carbenes that may act as bridging ligands (e.g., compound 6) if they arise from ω,ω'-bisdiazoalkanes. By way of contrast, metal-metal double bonds cleanly form dimetallacyclo-propane-type derivatives under very mild conditions (7-9). The broadest variety of structures is finally encountered with metal-metal triply bonded precursors such as the molybdenum compounds 3: here, the initial diazoalkane adducts are subject to further rearrangement processes commonly leading to metal-metal single bonds (11) or causing irreversible cleavage of the dinuclear metal systems (10).
