Used Jmol to Help Students Better Understand Fluxional Processes
Coleman, William F.; Fedosky, Edward W.
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n2 p336 Feb 2006
This new WebWare combines instructional text and Jmol interactive, animated illustrations that help students visualize the mechanism. It is concluded that by animating the fluxional behavior of a simple model for chiral metal catalyst Sn(amidinate)[subscript 2], in which axial/equatorial exchange within the amidinate rings occurs through a Berry pseudorotation resulting in interconversion of the enantiomers.
