The positive ESPs that underlie anion-binding by N-heterocycles do not stem from a depletion of π-electron density, as widely assumed.

<div>We report the synthesis of a novel macrocyclic host molecule that forms in a single step from commercially available starting materials. The core of the macrocycle backbone possesses two quinone rings and, thus, is redox-active. Host-guest binding involving the clip-shaped cavity indicates selective binding of pyridine <i>N</i>-oxides based of the electron density of and steric bulk of the anionic oxygen.</div>

In a θ-pinch the radial symmetry of the electron density distribution as a function of time has been measured by a MACH—ZEHNDER interferometer. In a time interval of 400 nsec during a discharge an image converter made three pictures (exposure times of 10 nsec each) . Up to 100 nsec after the first compression, the experimental results show different density distributions for the cases of trapped parallel and antiparallel magnetic fields. Complete radial symmetry of the electron density distribution was not found.Another interferometric method for measuring the radial symmetry of the electron distribution by observing “zero order” fringes is described.

The recent high-sensitivity pulsar survey at Jodrell Bank has allowed a statistical study of more distant objects. The longitude distribution suggests that many of the pulsars observed have distances greater than 5 kpc, leading to an upper limit of about 0.03 cm-3 for the mean electron density. The electron density averaged over distances of a few hundred parsecs seems to be very constant. The width of the electron distribution in the z-direction appears to be greater than about 600 pc.

The π-electron distribution in the pyrrole anion has been evaluated by the VESCF method using two alternative methods of estimating core attraction terms. The results indicate that the π-electron distribution around the conjugated system is very nearly uniform, supporting previous speculations that the relative attracting powers of tertiary nitrogen and carbon reverse when their π-electron densities exceed a certain value, suspected to be not too much greater than unity. The present calculations indicate that the critical π-electron density is around 1.2. The VESCF estimates of ionization potentials of the pyrrole anion are also reported.

Scattering of optical and radio frequency radiation from electron density fluctuations in a plasma has been extensively studied and bids fair to become a useful diagnostic tool (see, for example, Davies & Ramsden, 1964, 1966). The scattered spectrum, although difficult to observe, contains a great deal of information. The electron density, ion and electron temperatures, the shape of the tail of the electron distribution function, spectral fluctuations in unstable systems, the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field and the charge to mass ratio of the ions present all seem to be contained in it.

It is shown by AHF-CI calculations that the changes in the electron distribution in bonding and lone pair regions of nitrogen and acetylene due to electron correlation can be neglected when calculating electron difference densities of these molecules. The changes brought about by electron correlation are such that the electron density in interatomic regions is reduced and in atomic (core) regions increased. These results might meet general interest in the area of electron difference density determinations.
