Robert B. Woodward, a supreme patterner of chaos, was one of my teachers. I dedicate this
lecture to him, for it is our collaboration on orbital symmetry conservation, the electronic …

In recent years the use of catalysts to induce CO substitution in metal carbonyl complexes
has been explored in some detail. However, by comparison, catalytic rather than reagent …

Although compounds that feature 3-centre 2-electron (3c–2e) bonds are well known, there
has been no previous effort to classify the interactions according to the number of electrons …

We have developed a theory for the properties of vibrational excitations in molecules
adsorbed on a metal surface. The coherent potential approximation (CPA) is used in the …

Supplementary Material Available. Table IV, an extensive listing of all observed infrared and
Raman bands including their intensities, physical states during measurement, polarizations …

Robert B. Woodward mit seiner überragenden Befähigung, im Chaos das ordnende Prinzip
zu erkennen, war einer meiner Lehrer. Ihm widme ich diesen Vortrag, denn gerade unsere …

During the oil embargo, in the winter 1973174, parts of Western Europe present ed an
almost war-like aspect on Saturdays and Sundays: no traffic on the high ways, no crowds at …

The stretch vibration of CO adsorbed on Cu (100) has been studied by infrared
spectroscopy. Measurements on isotopic mixtures show that the molecules constitute a …

The theoretical models which have been used to describe the bonding in cluster compounds
of the main group and transition metal elements are reviewed. The historical development of …

2 phasise the wide variety of structural features involved. It is now well known that in solution
there is usually facile exchange between JJZ, bridging and terminal car-bony1 groups in …
