heteronuclear
(adjective)
having different types of atoms or nuclei
Examples of heteronuclear in the following topics:
-
Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules
- Heteronuclear diatomic molecules are composed of two atoms of two different elements.
- In heteronuclear diatomic molecules, atomic orbitals only mix when the electronegativity values are similar.
- While MOs for homonuclear diatomic molecules contain equal contributions from each interacting atomic orbital, MOs for heteronuclear diatomics contain different atomic orbital contributions.
- Orbital interactions that produce bonding or antibonding orbitals in heteronuclear diatomics occur if there is sufficient overlap between atomic orbitals, as determined by their symmetries and similarity in orbital energies.
- Recognize when the atomic orbitals in a heteronuclear diatomic molecule will mix.
-
Carbon NMR Spectroscopy
- The most important operational technique that has led to successful and routine 13C nmr spectroscopy is the use of high-field pulse technology coupled with broad-band heteronuclear decoupling of all protons.
