TL;DR: In this paper, the x-ray form factors for a bonded hydrogen in the hydrogen molecule have been calculated for a spherical approximation to the bonded atom, and the corresponding complex scattering factors have also been calculated.
Abstract: The x‐ray form factors for a bonded hydrogen in the hydrogen molecule have been calculated for a spherical approximation to the bonded atom. These factors may be better suited for the least‐squares refinement of x‐ray diffraction data from organic molecular crystals than those for the isolated hydrogen atom. It has been shown that within the spherical approximation for the bonded hydrogens in H2, a least‐squares refinement of the atomic positions will result in a bond length (Re value) short of neutron diffraction or spectroscopic values. The spherical atoms are optimally positioned 0.07 A off each proton into the bond. A nonspherical density for the bonded hydrogen atom in the hydrogen molecule has also been defined and the corresponding complex scattering factors have been calculated. The electronic density for the hydrogen molecule in these calculations was based on a modified form of the Kolos—Roothaan wavefunction for H2. Scattering calculations were made tractable by expansion of a plane wave in spheroidal wavefunctions.

TL;DR: The crystal structures of the gallium(II) complexes (Ph3PH)2Ga2X6 (X=Cl, Br, I) have been determined in this paper.
Abstract: The crystal structures of the gallium(II) complexes (Ph3PH)2Ga2X6 (X=Cl, Br, I) have been determined. The anions are Ga-Ga bonded species, with staggered ethane conformations; the length of the Ga-Ga bond increases only slightly along the series I>Br>Cl, although there are significant changes in the Ga-Ga stretching force constant in the order Cl>Br>I. The vibrational spectra and derived force constants are discussed, as is the splitting of thev(P-H) [andv(P-D)] mode of the cation which is related to disorder in the structure of the neighboring Ga2X62− anions.

TL;DR: (R)-Phenylglycinol is shown to be an efficient building block for the synthesis of chiral amino diols in pure diastereomeric form by epoxide ring-opening reactions.
Abstract: (R)-Phenylglycinol is shown to be an efficient building block for the synthesis of chiral amino diols in pure diastereomeric form by epoxide ring-opening reactions. The reaction with rac-trans-stilbene oxide gives [HOCH2-(R)-PhCH]NH[(S)-PhCH-(R)-PhCHOH] [2(R)-3(R)-4(S)-HNO2H2] in 32% yield, which can be methylated at nitrogen to give enantiomerically pure [HOCH2-(R)-PhCH]NCH3[(S)-PhCH-(R)-PhCHOH] [2(R)-3(R)-4(S)-MeNO2H2]. These amino diol ligands have been used to prepare chiral dioxomolybdenyl complexes of the formula N(R)-2(R)-3(R)-4(S)-(HNO2)MoO2 (1) and N(R)-2(R)-3(R)-4(S)-(MeNO2)MoO2 (2). The absolute configuration at each stereocenter in the Mo(VI) complexes has been established by 1H NOESY spectroscopy. The configuration determined for 1 has been confirmed by an X-ray analysis. Crystal data: orthorhombic P212121, a = 7.620(3), b = 13.589(2), c = 20.339(3) A, Z = 4, R = 0.0336. The structure consists of a polymeric chain of N(R)-2(R)-3(R)-4(S)-(HNO2)MoO2 molecules connected through unsymmetrical Mo...

TL;DR: In this article, the quantum mechanical wave functions of molecules are discussed and an attempt is made to effect a simultaneous regional and physical partitioning of the molecular density, the molecular pair density, and the molecular energy, in such a way that meaningful concepts can be associated with the density and energy fragments thus formed.
Abstract: The quantum mechanical wave functions of molecules are discussed. An attempt is made to effect a simultaneous regional and physical partitioning of the molecular density, the molecular pair density, and the molecular energy, in such a way that meaningful concepts can be associated with the density and energy fragments thus formed. The origin of chemical binding is interpreted in terms of the concepts formulated in the partitioning process. (T.F.H.)

TL;DR: The solution of Schroedinger's equation for the normal hydrogen molecule is approximated by the function $C[{e}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{z({r}_{1}+{p}_{2})}{a}}+{e^{\ensem{-]-{m{e})+{m}−m{n}−n}]$ where m is the distance of one of the electrons to the two nuclei, and r is the distances of one electron to the other electron.
Abstract: The solution of Schroedinger's equation for the normal hydrogen molecule is approximated by the function $C[{e}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{z({r}_{1}+{p}_{2})}{a}}+{e}^{\ensuremath{-}\frac{z({r}_{2}+{p}_{1})}{a}}]$ where $a=\frac{{h}^{2}}{4{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{2}m{e}^{2}}$, ${r}_{1}$ and ${p}_{1}$ are the distances of one of the electrons to the two nuclei, and ${r}_{2}$ and ${p}_{2}$ those for the other electron. The value of $Z$ is so determined as to give a minimum value to the variational integral which generates Schroedinger's wave equation. This minimum value of the integral gives the approximate energy $E$. For every nuclear separation $D$, there is a $Z$ which gives the best approximation and a corresponding $E$. We thus obtain an approximate energy curve as a function of the separation. The minimum of this curve gives the following data for the configuration corresponding to the normal hydrogen molecule: the heat of dissociation = 3.76 volts, the moment of inertia ${J}_{0}=4.59\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}41}$ gr. ${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$, the nuclear vibrational frequency ${\ensuremath{
u}}_{0}=4900$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple wave function for the normal state of the hydrogen molecule, in which both the atomic and ionic configurations are taken into account, was set up and treated by a variational method.
Abstract: A simple wave function for the normal state of the hydrogen molecule, in which both the atomic and ionic configurations are taken into account, was set up and treated by a variational method. The dissociation energy was found to be 4.00 v.e. as compared to the experimental value of 4.68 v.e. and Rosen's value of 4.02 v.e. obtained by use of a function involving complicated integrals. It was found that the atomic function occurs with a coefficient 3.9 times that of the ionic function. A similar function with different screening constants for the atomic and ionic parts was also tried. It was found that the best results are obtained when these screening constants are equal. The addition of Rosen's term to the atomic‐ionic function resulted in a value of 4.10 v.e. for the dissociation energy.
