Electronic Structure of Alkali Metal Adducts of Aromatic Hydrocarbons

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the electronic structure of alkali metal adducts aromatic hydrocarbons. Theories chemical reduction are explained. The oldest theory stems from Baeyer. recent progress in determination alkaliaromatics is characterized by a close coordination between experimental investigations and quantum mechanical theory. discusses electron affinities conjugated hydrocarbons course reduction. advances understanding reaction with metals have provided an explanation for many apparently unconnected observations. A general approach to reduction, electrochemical catalytic hydrogenation double bonds has been given Hoijtink. inert solvents, proton-active solvents properties protonated anions also covered. brief discussion on characteristic features exhibited absorption spectra alternant hydrocarbon molecules their anions. distribution described. concludes nature metal–hydrocarbon complexes solution.
