Chapter 3, Problem 3.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The orbital interaction that would be necessary to generate each sp hybrid orbital from pure AOs is to be drawn by considering the given pair of sp hybrid orbitals.

Concept introduction:

Any sp-hybridized atom has two sp hybrid orbitals and two unhybridized p orbitals. The two sp hybrid orbitals are aligned along the same axis and point in opposite directions. Mixing of the lobe with the same phase leads to constructive interference, thus increasing the size of the lobe. The other lobe of p orbital having an opposite phase as s orbital leads to destructive interference on that side. The size of the lobe on this side is smaller than the other lobe. The larger lobe shows the overlapping of s and p orbitals with the same phase. The smaller lobe is often omitted entirely for simplicity.

Calculate the proton and carbon chemical shifts for this structure
A. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?
