Figure 9
Comparison of average bond lengths in coumarins and 2-quinolones in the room-temperature group. The expected values with their standard deviations (2σ) are plotted in (I) and (II) for Ring 1 and Ring 2, respectively. The differences between bonds g and h are computed and plotted as a probability density function (p.d.f.) in (III). Such differences are centred at around 0 for coumarins, while bond h is shorter than bond g in most 2-quinolones. |
