An orbital correlation diagram was constructed for the thermal decomposition of 1,2-dioxetane into products that allow chemiluminescence. A decomposition mechanism is proposed that gives a temperature dependent rupture of the OO bond, thus allowing ring twisting which is followed by the rupture of the CC bond. This mechanism is consistent with results of the thermochemical analysis for this type of reaction. The equilibrium structure of 1,2-dioxetane was determined from the molecular orbital calculations and gave a planar configuration for the COOC ring.

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants between the hydroxyl proton and the ring protons for 2-iodophenol in various solvents yield some free energy differences between the cis and trans conformations of this molecule at 305 K. Comparison with areas of the hydroxyl stretching bands in the same or similar solvents shows that the ratio of the absorptivity coefficients for the two conformers is sensitive to solvent. It is suggested that this ratio is temperature dependent and therefore apparent enthalpy differences must be considered tentative for at least some solutions. Molecular orbital calculations are consistent with the arguments concerning the absorptivity coefficients.

Abstract Reaction of the /i-bis(tridentate) ligand H3L' (L' = 1,3-bis[N-(5-cliloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)- 2-ainiiioetliylene]-2-(5-cliloro-2-hydroxy!phenyl)iniidazoliduie) with eopper(II) chlonde diliydrate gives the chair-piperazine bridged complex [Cu2(μ-L)Cl2]. The halves of the binuclear complex are related by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The intramolecular Cu ・・・Cu separation is 6.954(3) Å. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complex show a weak intramolecular antiferromagnetic eouphng. The super-exchange coupling constant (J) is - 10.5 cm-1. Semi-empirical extended Huckel molecular orbital (EHMO) calculations have been performed in order to gain msight into the molecular orbitals that participate in the super-exchange pathway.

The HeI photoelectron spectra of a series of borotrans have been measured. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using minimum basis sets were performed on the six molecules in this study, by using geometries based on the known structure of the parent borotran, a tricyclic system containing a relatively short B←N dative bond. Temperatures up to 312� were required for the gas-phase measurements and considerable thermal decomposition was observed in two cases. The lowest-energy photoelectron bands are assigned to combinations of oxygen orbitals of the BO3 unit, but the B←N bonding electrons cannot be accurately located in the spectra.
