This was done by Leiserowitz and Ziva Berkovitch-Yellin
-
thirty-three years ago.
-
So this is an interesting molecule
-
because it has lots of different kinds of bonds in it
-
single bonds,
-
double bonds--in fact three double bonds in a row
-
and also benzene rings that have these resonance bonds.
-
Okay, so we're going to look first at one of the benzene rings.
-
So this map that I'm showing you here is a difference density map.
-
It's the total, minus what it would be for the atoms.
-
But notice what was subtracted is just the carbon density;
-
didn't subtract hydrogens.
