Polyene: potential energy (troughs of the nuclear shells neglected) and π-electron density. a) Instability of equal bonds. b) Stabilized by alternation of single and double bonds (bond length consistent with π-electron density (BCD)-approximation).
(a) Modeling emergence of first replicating strand (oligomer R). (b) Very particular location on the prebiotioc planet. Arrow: small region, very particular cyclic change of temperature and many other special conditions given by chance just here. (c) Evolution of increasingly complex self-reproducing forms by populating increasingly unfavorable regions.Awards
