1.2.1 Cp dimers: Your jmol structures are all mixed up! What structural aspects of the isomers lead to the differences in energy?

1.2.2 NAD: Is the opposite face of the molecule that sterically hindered? Doesn’t seem hindered at all to me. Your structure for the ‘different pyridinium ring’ is incorrect, meaning your calculations are incorrect.

1.2.3 Taxol: Structures and energies are fine.

1.3.1 Carbene: Your calculations are correct. Good to see you’ve looked at the effects of mono and di-alkenes.

Mini-project: Those are some strikingly accurate NMR predictions. It would have been nice to see a more in-depth analysis of the deviation between your results and the literature spectra.

Overall: It is a better idea to number your compounds for reference as opposed to giving them odd names. A little more effort would have gotten you a lot more marks.
