Hsab Theory

The regioselectivity of epoxide ring opening can be analyzed in terms of hard–soft acid–base (HSAB) theory. The coordination of the hard acid with the oxygen atom of the oxirane ring produces a "pulling effect" which determines the direction of the ring opening. In the absence of a strong "pulling effect" the "pushing effect" of the approaching base is examined and the consequences of relative softness or hardness of the nucleophile on the regioselectivity of the ring opening are discussed.

Thermogravimetric (TG) studies have been carried out for some bimetallic dithiocarbamate complexes of the type ZnML4 and NiM′L′4 [M = Co(II), Cu(II); M′ = Zn(II), Hg(II); L = N-methylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate; L′ = N-ethylcyclohexyldithiocarbamate]. From TG curves, the order, apparent activation energy and apparent activation entropy for the thermal decomposition reaction have been calculated. The thermal stabilities have been correlated with the structures of the complexes on the basis of hard and soft acid base (HSAB) theory.
