  Delocalized electron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, delocalized electrons are electrons in a molecule that do not belong to a single atom or a covalent bond.
Delocalized electrons are part of a pi electron system that extends over several adjacent atoms.
Delocalized electrons can be found in conjugated systems of double bonds and in aromatic systems.

Electrons in solids are in localized or delocalized states, levels, or orbitals.
This is the electron affinity in the case of a non-metal.
Electrons are bound to atoms and corrections are added for overlap of the electron density produced by different atoms.

 Why are plants green? Why are flamingos pink? (organic compounds)
These electrons, no longer localized in a double bond between two adjacent atoms, are now free to range over the whole molecule and hence are "delocalized." This electron delocalization stabilizes the molecule.
Delocalized electrons, held in molecular orbitals, can absorb visible light, thereby becoming the source of color.
An alternating sequence of single and double bonds is therefore the necessary structural requirement for color in organic molecules, because it produces electrons delocalized in molecular orbitals.

 NANOTECHNOLOGY: ON CORRELATED ELECTRONS
Electron flow from one lead to the other through the artificial impurity serves as a powerful probe of local electronic states.
Such strongly interacting or "correlated" electrons cannot be described as embedded in a static mean field generated by the other electrons.(1) The influence of an electron on the others is simply too pronounced for each to be treated independently.
However, when the number of free electrons in a solid becomes comparable to the number of the constituent atoms and the mutual electron-electron interaction becomes strong, electrons may lose their mobility.

 ROCO Resonance: Delocalized
The easiest way to spot delocalized electrons is to compare electron locations in two resonance forms.
A delocalized bond is a bond that appears in some resonance forms, but not others.
A delocalized charge is a formal charge that appears on one atom in some resonance forms and on other atoms in other forms.

This causes the electrons from the H-Cl bond to be moved onto the Cl atom.
If an electron withdrawing group (such as a halogen) is connected to the delta +ve carbon being attacked, then the delta +ve charge will be increased, resulting in a greater rate of nucleophillic substitution.
These are very weak bases due to the electron withdrawing effect of the C=O group, which reduces the negative charge on the N atom, making it less able to attract protons, and less stable once it has one.

The nine pairs of delocalized electrons fill the orbitals within the model as indicated.
The next two electrons go into a localized bonding pi orbital made from 2p atomic orbitals on neighboring C and N. Four more electrons to dump in somewhere now.
It takes the last two electrons in a non-bonding geometry that is half on a 2p on the S and half on the 2p on the N where the negative charge is thus shared at the two ends.

 Water Buckyballs
This site is devoted to the electronic structure and low-frequency vibrational modes of water "buckyballs", as well as to the implications of adding electrons to the clusters on their chemical, catalytic, and astrophysical properties.
If cosmic electrons are traveling close to the speed of light, their interaction with the above-described low-frequency cluster vibronic modes could result in the conversion of the associated water-cluster far-infrared radiation to x-ray or gamma radiation via the inverse Compton effect (ICE).
This "many-body" electronic effect, JT-coupled with the calculated and measured low-frequency O - O - O vibrations, may explain the unique and still poorly understood properties of liquid water, such as its large heat capacity and anomalous freezing properties.

 Research
When the electronic cloud of a molecule is excited (after the absorption of one photon), the ?-electron density is changed, which means that the geometry of the molecule, in particular the distances between the carbon atoms, is slightly changed.
Therefore, absorption leads to an electronic transition accompanied by a series of vibronic bands where 0, 1, 2, etc. vibration quanta are created along with the electronic excitation.
The situation is even worse when the molecule is excited, because then the electronic cloud has been given extra energy, which can be used to cross photochemical barriers, or gives access to more new states for the excited electron.

The types of bonding aredistinguished by the extent to which electron density is localized or delocalized among the atoms of the substance.
In the case of ionic bonding, electrons are mainly associated with individual atoms, and an overall electric charge isassigned to discrete constituent atoms throughout the substance.
By contrast, in covalent bonding the electron density distributions within bonds are not assigned to individual atoms, but areinstead delocalized across the molecule in structures which are described by the most common contemporary theory as molecular orbitals.

 Journal of Electronic Materials: Observations of deep levels in 4H-SiC using optoelectronic modulation spectroscopy
An electron trap at 1.20 eV gave the most prominent response with a distinctive signature indicating that these traps were spatially delocalized with an extent of at least 1.35 run, possibly associated with an extended defect structure.
The effect of the reduced electron trap population in the undepleted channel would be to increase the device current so that in the OEMS experiment it is a positive peak in the current modulation that is observed; the current increases when the photon energy makes a positive excursion.
The effect of a reduction in the number of trapped electrons in the two depletion regions is to decrease the depletion widths, again producing an increase in channel current.

 A Different Story of -Delocalization-The Distortivity of -Electrons and Its Chemical Manifestations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The concept of electronic delocalization has germinated in the pre-electron period to Kekulé's 'structural theory' and its application to benzene as a prototype of a family of compounds so-called "aromatics".
The exalted diamagnetism was interpreted to result from the ring currents carried by the delocalized electrons which circulate under the influence of the external magnetic field in orbits with radii that are determined by the path of delocalization.
This means that delocalization of the 4N + 2 electrons is supported by overlap of the atomic orbitals, while for 4N electrons the resonance energy is due to the lowering of the Coulomb correlation energy.

Since each carbon has four valence electrons, three of them are in the three sp2 hybrid orbitals with the fourth electron in the unhybridized "p" orbital and delocalized.
Resonance Electronic Effect- This effect relies upon electrons in "p" orbitals being in conjugation with the Pi electrons of the ring.
To understand this you have to think of a ring that is deactivated,but a ring which the relative electron density is greater at the ortho and para positions due to the resonance effect of the lone pairs.

 David A. B. Miller - Abstracts
The most striking effect is that the minimum splitting of the excitons associated with each of the split electron levels does not occur at the same field as for the minimum splitting of the bare-electron levels.
One unexpected but readily observable consequence is that when the same electron-sublevel splitting is measured using two different pairs of intrawell and interwell exciton transitions, the field for minimum exciton splitting can differ by up to approximately 10% from one pair of transitions to the other.
The authors have constructed a variational model of the coupled excitons that explains these effects in terms of Coulomb mixing of the delocalized electron states.

 What is a delocalized electron?
Usually electrons in materials are bound to one atom, and atoms are held together by the interactions of the charges on different atoms.
In metals, electrons are delocalised over the whole crystal structure, and carry currents - the outer electrons of the metal atoms are shared in an electron sea, and are not confined to particular atoms.
To really visualize this you have to think of an electron as a probability cloud, and just see that cloud spread over more than one atom; then it's not such a leap to see a delocalised cloud spread all through a metal.
