ALKENES - REACTIVITY AND ELECTRON-STRUCTURE

Abstract

The modern methods for the calculations of alkene electron structure have been discussed. Analysis of the photoelectron spectra of alkenes have been undertaken. Based on the experimental data and quantum-chemical calculations the relation of molecular properties and their orbital structure have been reviewed. The systematic comparison of the related structural parameters of alkenes with their reactivity have been discussed. The ionisation energy values of alkenes have been stated. The bibliography includes 86 references
