This criterion is unfortunately not sufficient to ensure that a chemical structure is a valid chemical compound. In a previous article, a procedure has been described to draw 2D valid structural formulas: the even-odd rule. This rule has been applied first to single-bonded molecules then to single-charged single-bonded ions. It covers hypovalent, hypervalent or classic Lewis’ octet compounds. The funding principle of the even-odd rule is that each atom of the compound possesses an outer-shell filled only with pairs of electrons. The application of this rule guarantees validity of any single-covalent-bond chemical structure. In the present paper, this even-odd rule and its electron-pair criterion are checked for coherence with an effective-valence isoelectronic rule using numerous known compounds having single-covalent-bond connections. The test addresses Lewis’ octet ions or molecules as well as hypovalent and hypervalent compounds. The article concludes that the even-odd rule and the effective-valence isoelectronicity rule are coherent for known single-covalent-bond chemical compounds.展开更多

Based on the classification of elements in the periodic table, the rule of eight was first proposed to draw formulas of organic compounds. The later named octet rule exhibited shortcomings when applied to inorganic compounds. Another rule, the rule of two, using covalent bonds between atoms, was proposed as an attempt to unify description of organic and inorganic molecules. This rule unfortunately never managed to expand the field of application of the octet rule to inorganic compounds. In order to conciliate organic and inorganic compounds, the recently put forward even-odd and the isoelectronicity rules suggest the creation of one group of compounds with pairs of electrons. These rules compass the rule of two for covalent bonds as well as the octet rule for organic compounds and suggest transforming bonds of multi-bonded compounds in order to unify representations of both groups of compounds. The aim of the present paper is fourfold: to extend the rule of two to every atom shells;to replace the well-known octet rule by the even-odd rule;to apply the isoelectronicity rule to each atom and to reduce the influence range of the charge of an atom in a compound. According to both rules, the drawing of one atom with its single-covalent bonds is described with electron pairs and charge positions. To illustrate the rules, they are applied to 3D configurations of clusters.展开更多

It is found that the signals of phase transition in the odd Sm nuclei are greatly enhanced in contrast to the even Sm nuclei. A further analysis shows that the transitional behaviors related to pairing in the Sm nuclei can be well described by the mean field plus pairing interaction model, with a monotonic decrease in the pairing strength G.展开更多

The pentamer of COTT and trimer of COBT show much lower melting temperature, and the trimer of COTT and trimer of COBT show significant lower refractive index, which can be ascribed to the low packing density of cyclic oligoesters with odd number of degree of oligomerization. Our results reveal the discrete property change as a function of cyclic size of oligomers, which can be used to design materials with special properties.展开更多

The fine structures of the 4Bpy-PolyQ7 and 4Bpy-PolyQ8 co-assemblies are observed, and the statistics of the apparent peptide strand length reveal different length distributions for PolyQ7 and PolyQs. One predominant apparent peptide strand length is ob- served for PolyQ7 reflecting one predominant peptide conformation in assembly structures, while three major ap- parent strand lengths can be identified with PolyQ8 reflecting three co-existing peptide conformations in peptide as- semblies. Such drastic difference in assembling characteristics can be considered as a reflection of asymmetric ad- sorption effect ofpeptides relating to odd-even residue numbers of PolyQ7 and PolyQ8,展开更多

With increasing rotational frequency the odd-even differences become weaker and weaker due to the Coriolis anti-pairing effects. Particularly, the odd-even differences in the dynamic moments of inertia become obscure when hω≥2 MeV, and in certain cases there emerges nearly identical value of J(2) for some neighboring nudei. However, the odd-even differences in the kinematic moments of inertia still remain to certain extent at the highest frequencies.展开更多

The m dependence of the kth-order antibunching effect is numerically studied for k = 2, 3, 4, 5. It is shown that the kth-order antibunching effect enhances as m increases. The larger k, the quicker the antibunching effect enhances.展开更多
