In order to use holes as catalysts, the oxidized product should be able to transfer the hole to a fresh reactant. For that, the hole-catalyzed reaction must increase the oxidation potential along the reaction path, i.e.

A kinetic study of the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions from nitrogen-containing heterocycles (secondary and tertiary lactams, 2-imidazolidinones, 2-oxazolidinones, and succinimides) to the cumyloxyl radical has been carried out employing laser flash photolysis with ns time resolution. HAT occurs from the C-H bonds that are α to nitrogen, activated by hyperconjugative overlap with the N-C═O π system. In the lactam series, the second-order HAT rate constant () was observed to decrease by a factor of ∼4 going from the five- and six-membered ring derivatives to the eight-membered ones, a behavior that was rationalized on the basis of a reduced extent of hyperconjugative activation associated to the greater flexibility of the larger rings compared to the smaller ones.

Geometrical structure, stability and cooperativity, and contribution of hydrogen bonds to the stability of complexes between chalcogenoaldehydes and water were thoroughly investigated using quantum chemical methods. The stability of the complexes increases significantly when one or more HO molecules are added to the binary system, whereas it decreases sharply going from O to S, Se, or Te substitution. The O-H⋯O H-bond is twice as stable as C -H⋯O and O-H⋯S/Se/Te H-bonds.

Helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear in disubstituted allenes and even- cumulenes. Chiral molecules are optically active, but while these molecules are single-handed chiral, π-orbitals of both helicities are present. Here we computationally examine whether the optical activity of chiral cumulenes is controlled by the axial chirality or the helicity of the electronic structure.
