  HSAB theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ralph Pearson lecturing in Northwestern University in 1969.
The HSAB concept, also known as HSAB theory, is widely used in chemistry for explaining stability of compounds, reaction paths etc. HSAB is the acronym for hard and soft acids and bases It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species.
HSAB theory is also useful in predicting the products of metathesis reactions.

 Software-Entwicklung in der Chemie*10 - Bögel, H.
Visualisation of the extent of molecular properties in different areas of the molecule is a helpful and important technique to support structural concepts by computer graphics, to relate the expected or observed physico-chemical properties and the chemical behaviour of molecules to the calculated electronic structure.
Hardness and softness in the sense of the HSAB (Hard and Soft Acids and Bases) concepts [1] were developed on the basis of empirical data.
Further development of the visualisation of the two important properties of an electronic structure, the hard- and softness will be the interpretation of the calculated Fukui function and a distance dependent contribution from neighbouring atoms to the value of an atomic surface area.

 softness sensitive bond valence parameters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Thus, applications of the bond-valence concept to any field that might be affected by the shape of the bond-length bond-valence pseudopotential should not rely on bond-valence parameter sets with a fixed parameter b.
In an earlier investigation on a possible connection between bond softness and bond valence, Urusov (1995) had argued that the softness of a bond should increase with the sum of the softnesses of the interacting particles.
In harmony with the HSAB concept, bonds between atoms with different softnesses tend to be weaker and therefore correspond to larger values of the parameter b (solid line: fourth-order polynomial fit to all data; broken lines: 99% confidence interval).

He proposed a concept of ionization of lubricant components by low-energy exoelectrons (1 to 4 eV), which are emitted from freshly formed surfaces in the friction of mating surfaces.
The concept is based upon the ionization mechanism of ceramic lubricant compound molecules caused by the action of exoelectrons.
It is their intention to explore several existing unknowns in the area of triboemission, and to extend their work to other materials of tribological application and some metal catalysts.

 B-52 Stratofortress - United States Nuclear Forces
So the B-52 can carry a maximum of either 51 or 45 munitions, depending on which pylon is mounted under the wings.
However, the AGM-28 pylon is no longer used, so the B-52 currently carries on HSABs, limiting the external load to 18 bombs, or a total of 45 bombs.
Boeing proposed modernizing the B-52 fleet by replacing the current TF-33 engines with a commercial engine through a long-term leasing agreement, and providing fixed-cost, privatized maintenance based on the number of hours flown each year.

The potassium permanganate ignites after a short induction period, thereby igniting the entire mixture.
The sulphides' differing tendencies to form, as shown in this experiment, can be explained using R. Pearson's HSAB concept (Hard and Soft Acids and Bases Principle).
The HSAB principle states that the tendency of bonds to form between soft acids and soft bases or hard acids and hard bases is particularly high, while it is lower between hard acids and soft bases or soft acids and hard bases.

The electronic effects will be discussed again and linked to the notions of stabilisation of charges and to acid-basic properties of certain classes of organic functions.
The HSAB concept will also be introduced and connected to the concepts of electronegativity and polarization.
These principles will be applied to aromatic chemistry and the control of orientation in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions will be developed and applied to concrete problems of everyday's life (paracetamol, ibuprofen,..).
