RHF-SCF 3-21G calculations are reported for the 1A′, 1,3A″, 12A′, and 1,32A″ states of simple substituted allenes YCHCCH2, where Y = CH3, H, F, Cl, CF3, and the 1A′ and 1,3A″ states of their Markovnikov (M) and anti-Markovnikov (aM) cations, CHYCHCH2+ and CHYCCH3+, respectively. Equilibrium electronic structures and the mechanism of adiabatic protonation are described qualitatively in terms of Lewis/resonance schematic representations. Calculated proton affinities (PA) suggest that relative to the ground state (1A′), the excited states 1,32A″ are of greatly enhanced basicity with respect to protonation at either regiocenter. A graphical representation of PA(M) versus PA(aM) leads to the following conclusions: (1) irrespective of both regiocenter (M/aM) and state (1A′/32A″/12A″), the PA's for YCHCCH2 decrease with respect to Y in the order CH3 > H > Cl > CF3; (2) the F-substituent gives a PA value greater than that for H- in the ground state, but less than that for H- in the two excited states; (3) for all substituents Y, including CF3, protonation of both 1A′ and 12A″ is predicted to be regioselective in the M direction; (4) regardless of Y, 32A″ exhibits no significant protonation regioselectivity. Critical comparison of these theoretical predictions is made with available experimental evidence. Keywords: proton transfer, excited states, photohydration, allenes.



It is shown that the apparently different ‘nucleation’ and ‘equilibrium’ approaches to the theoretical study of the tensile strength of a liquid can be synthesized. The combined theory can be applied to a supercooled vapour or to a liquid under tension or superheated. Either approach leads to the conclusion that the predicted tensile strength is extremely insensitive to the ‘time of doing an experiment’, provided that we do not make this time actually zero or infinite. Available experimental evidence on the tensile strength of liquids, including some very recent improvements in the Berthelot tube method, is surveyed and it is concluded that a very sub­stantial measure of agreement between theory and experiment now exists.

Abstract We fully support dissociating the subjective experience from the memory contents in recognition memory, as Bastin et al. posit in the target article. However, having two generic memory modules with qualitatively different functions is not mandatory and is in fact inconsistent with experimental evidence. We propose that quantitative differences in the properties of the memory modules can account for the apparent dissociation of recollection and familiarity along anatomical lines.

AbstractOne of the peculiar aspects of living systems is the production and conservation of energy. This aspect is provided by specialized organelles, such as the mitochondria and chloroplasts, in developed living organisms. In primordial systems lacking specialized enzymatic complexes the energy supply was probably bound to the generation and maintenance of an asymmetric distribution of charged molecules in compartmentalized systems. On the basis of experimental evidence, we suggest that lipophilic quinones were involved in the generation of this asymmetrical distribution of charges through vectorial redox reactions across lipid membranes.
